Lowry has played in 101 consecutive regular-season games, including all 15 contests with 12 starts this season. He is No. 2 on the defensive line with 43 tackles (23 solo).
Melton (5-11, 189) was originally selected by the Seahawks in the seventh round (No. 229 overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Rutgers University. He has spent the entire regular season on Seattle's practice squad. He finished his college career ranked No. 3 in program history with 56 games played, No. 6 with 164 receptions, tied for No. 8 with five 100-yard receiving games and No. 10 with 2,011 receiving yards.
