Inside three weeks remaining until the regular season kicks off against the Los Angeles Rams, the Seattle Seahawks could have two key cogs returning in time for the opener with Jordyn Brooks practicing and Jamal Adams close to stepping back onto the field. How much will their respective returns help Seattle's defense?

Hosts Corbin Smith and Rob Rang discuss where Brooks and Adams fit into the Seahawks' plans defensively and set realistic expectations for each player to open the season coming off of serious leg injuries.

Smith and Rang also play "In or Out?" looking at bubble players on offense and defense heading into Saturday's preseason finale and discuss what they will be watching on offense against the Packers this weekend, including quarterback Holton Ahlers getting another chance to air it out at Lambeau Field.
