Rotowire
Dunbar was released from Arizona's practice squad Tuesday.

Lions' Quinton Dunbar: Earning first team reps
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) rotated first-team reps opposite Jeff Okudah with Amani Oruwariye during mandatory minicamp, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Dunbar underwent surgery toward the end of the 2020 season, but that didn't stop the Lions from signing him to a one-year deal in April. He appeared to be fully healthy in minicamp and earned some strong reviews for his play. Whether or not he'll have a starting role opposite Okudah remains undecided, but he should have a significant role in the secondary regardless. In only six contests last season, Dunbar managed five passes defensed and one interception with Seattle.

Lions' Quinton Dunbar: Inks deal with Detroit
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Dunbar was unable to finish the 2020 season after suffering a knee injury that required surgery, but the hope is that he'll be at full strength for the start of the upcoming campaign. The Florida product collected 30 tackles (28 solo), five passes defensed and one interception over six contests with Seattle prior to being shut down. He figures to slot in as one of Detroit's top corners in 2021.
Seahawks defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. says "It's obvious" Dunbar (knee) was not 100 percent healthy when he joined the Seahawks for in-person activities in August, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Dunbar was coming off a tremendous 2019 campaign with Washington when Seattle acquired him for a fifth-round pick in March, surrendering a meager 61.2 passer rating in coverage while recording four interceptions during his final season as a member of the team. The 28-year-old had not been as effective in his debut campaign with the Seahawks, surrendering a 111.0 passer rating with four passing touchdowns allowed and just one forced INT over six appearances. Now, he's been shut down for the season, with coach Pete Carroll confirming Wednesday that Dunbar will not return from his knee injury after landing on injured reserve Nov. 19.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: May require offseason surgery
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dunbar may need offseason knee surgery, but he'll try to play through his issues this season, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Dunbar is battling a chronic knee issue that has bothered him for months now, but Carroll believes he can play through the injury this season. The 28-year-old cornerback has been practicing with the team for nearly two weeks, and he's aiming to return to the lineup in Week 16 against the Rams. It's possible that the Seahawks don't thrust Dunbar into a starting role upon return in order to minimize the wear and tear on his knee. That notion receives further credence after Carroll stated Sunday that cornerback D.J. Reed "deserves to keep playing" after looking impressive in place of Dunbar, according to Condotta.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Not activated for Week 15
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) wasn't activated from injured reserve for Sunday's game versus Washington.
Coach Pete Carroll said early in the week that Dunbar would practice with the mentality that he'd play Sunday, but that didn't come to fruition. Dunbar will spend another week on the sidelines, meaning D.J. Reed will start at right cornerback once again.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Designated for return
Rotowire
The Seahawks designated Dunbar (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Dunbar has missed four straight games due to a chronic knee injury, but it appears as though he's nearing a return to the field. The Seahawks will have a 21-day window to evaluate him at practice without Dunbar counting against the active roster.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Should practice this week
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dunbar (knee) is expected to practice this week, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dunbar is working his way back from a chronic knee issue that has kept him out of the last four games. Once he returns to the practice field, his 21-day window to be activated from IR will begin. Since Tre Flowers (hamstring) is also on IR, Dunbar will be a major boost to Seattle's secondary once he's ready to return.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) will miss Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.
Seattle will also be without fellow cornerbacks Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) and Neiko Thorpe (abdomen), so slowing down Arizona's aerial attack will be a challenge for Seattle's league-worst pass defense. Coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Dunbar will be able to avoid an IR stint, so hopefully a 10-day layoff following Thursday's game will provide enough time for Dunbar to heal up ahead of a Week 12 matchup against the Eagles.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Not IR bound
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Dunbar (knee) will need "some time" to return, but injured reserve isn't currently in the conversation, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
It appears the Seahawks are taking it week to week with Dunbar as he battles through a chronic knee issue. Carroll has already said that this injury could last for an extended period of time. Dunbar seems likely to sit out again in Thursday's game against the Cardinals, and if that's the case, the cornerback has a chance to return in Week 12 against the Eagles as long as he's indeed left off IR.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Unable to practice Monday
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Dunbar is dealing with a chronic knee issue, and he sat out this past Sunday's loss to the Rams. With a Thursday night matchup against the Cardinals up next, Dunbar's trending in the wrong direction to start the week, and the Seahawks may opt to let him utilize the extended rest since their next game is Nov. 30. Shaquill Griffin (hamstring/concussion) was also listed as DNP, so the Seahawks' secondary could be in rough shape yet again.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Officially ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
After initially being listed as questionable, Dunbar was quickly downgraded to out. Fellow starting cornerback Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) also won't play Sunday, leaving Tre Flowers, Neiko Thorpe (sports hernia) and Ugo Amadi to handle most of the reps in nickel packages. Dunbar didn't practice at all this week, and he'll need to make a quick turnaround with a Thursday night game against Arizona up next.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Can't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Coach Pete Carroll said following Sunday's loss to the Bills that Dunbar is dealing with a "chronic" knee issue. He'll probably miss a handful of practices as a result, but Carroll hasn't indicated that Dunbar will miss any games. That could certainly be in the cards, and that possibility will become more real if he can't return to practice before this Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Dealing with sore knee
Rotowire
Dunbar exited Sunday's loss to the Bills with a sore knee, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Dunbar and the Seahawks had a rough afternoon as they surrendered 386 passing yards to the Bills, and his day ended a bit early with the knee injury. The 28-year-old's participation at practice Wednesday should provide an idea of his status heading into Week 10.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Cleared of injury tag
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Dunbar missed practice and then was limited to begin the week, but it doesn't appear as though he was ever in serious danger of missing Sunday's contest. The 28-year-old will handle his usual starting role at cornerback versus Arizona during Sunday Night Football.
Dunbar (knee) was limited during Thursday's practice after sitting out Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The 28-year-old cornerback was able to suit up Week 5 after sitting out Seattle's Week 3 and 4 matchups, plus he was afforded extra time to recover with the Seahawks having just enjoyed their bye. Dunbar is granted slightly more time even because of Seattle's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff against Arizona getting pushed to Sunday Night Football. He has a strong chance to play Week 7, but if he can't go, it would be Tre Flowers who would see a usage uptick in the Seahawks' defensive backfield.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Returning to action Week 5
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings.
Dunbar missed the last two games due to a knee injury, but after following a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen this week, he's been given the all-clear to return to action. While he has 10 tackles and one interception through two appearances this season, he may not have many chances to produce against one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Upgraded Thursday
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dunbar missed practice completely with the knee injury Wednesday, so the fact that he was upgraded is a positive sign. Dunbar has missed the past two games, and he could be in jeopardy of missing more action if his practice availability doesn't continue to improve. If Dunbar misses Week 5, Tre Flowers would be in line for a start opposite Shaquill Griffin.

Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar: Set to miss second straight game
Rotowire
Dunbar (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dunbar will sit out for a second straight week, and according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, coach Pete Carroll hinted that Dunbar may also be held out of Week 5's clash against the Vikings -- the final game before Seattle's bye week. With Dunbar on the sideline, Tre Flowers will again start at cornerback opposite Shaquill Griffin (shoulder).
