Haynes has missed the previous two contests as he tends to a calf injury. Carroll said he expects him to return to practice this week and be good to go for Week 9 against the Ravens. That’s good news for a Seattle run game that has struggled of late, particularly considering the difficult opponent and the fact that the Seahawks now sit atop the NFC West after three consecutive losses by the 49ers.

Haynes was set to be a free agent after the highest-snap season of his career. The 27-year-old had a 57.1 PFF blocking rating and had not played more than 136 snaps before he got up to 485 last year, mostly splitting time at right guard and appearing in 14 games. He did deal with an ankle injury down the stretch. This is likely not a large contract. 

Haynes made two starts for Seattle last year and backs up at multiple spots on the interior line. The RFA tender will pay the 26-year-old $2.54 million in 2022.

Haynes missed Week 10's win over the 49ers, but it appears he'll be ready to serve as a depth piece on Seattle's offensive front moving forward.
