Here's a recap of the latest news surrounding the Seahawks' division rivals in the NFC West:
49ers Make Change At QB
A fourth consecutive loss for the 49ers had head coach Chip Kelly considering changes across his entire roster, and on Tuesday, the team announced that Colin Kaepernick will start the team’s Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills at quarterback in place of Blaine Gabbert.
"We're going to make a move at quarterback, and we're going to start Colin this week," Kelly said. "(We're) going to give him an opportunity to run with the ones. I believe you've got to do it at the beginning of the week just because of how reps are distributed."
