The Seattle Seahawks have been one of the best teams, not just in the NFC, but in the NFL as a whole this season. 

When you look up and down their roster, there are quite a few standouts. Offensively, you can look at Jaxson Smith-Njigba as a possible OPOY candidate, while their offensive line has also been great. 

Defensively, not only are they led by one of the best young defensive-minded coaches in the NFL in Mike Macdonald, but their interior defensive line is a nightmare to deal with.

The Hawks' defense, while fantastic, hasn't even been at full strength for some time. Thanks to the latest injury report out of Seattle, that's about to change. 

Seahawks getting back Julian Love and Jarran Reed

The Seattle Seahawks' most recent injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons gave the 12th man some good news. 

They announced that fans would see the return of safety Julian Love and defensive tackle Jarran Reed. 

Julian Love has only played in three games this season, and his presence has been missed. Last season, he had 109 tackles, two forced fumbles, and three interceptions. His addition to an already dominant secondary will be something to see. 

Reed, on the other hand, hasn't missed as much time as Love, but since his absence, the defensive line around him has turned freakish. Mixing Reed back in and combining his abilities with Byron Murphy II and Leonard Williams will create immense stress for opposing coaches and units.
