Profile updated October 2, 2026: Second-year role, draft background and Week 4 practice status.
Grey Zabel is a guard for the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle selected him 18th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he became its starting left guard during a championship rookie season. His value to the line begins with continuity: he started all 17 regular-season games and all three playoff games in Seattle’s Super Bowl LX-winning campaign.
Is Grey Zabel available for Week 4?
Zabel was listed with a groin issue during preparations for the Chargers. He was limited Wednesday, practiced fully Thursday and Friday, and received no game-status designation on the October 2 report. That removes the injury-report uncertainty for Sunday; the final active list still comes on game day.
From college tackle to NFL left guard
At North Dakota State, Zabel played across four offensive-line positions before finishing his college career at left tackle. He started 41 of his 62 college games, including his final 36. That experience provides useful context for his move inside: his college background was broader than one position, while Seattle established him at left guard.
He won FCS national championships in 2021 and 2024 and received first-team FCS All-America recognition in his final college season. His first NFL season brought PFWA All-Rookie honors.
How to read Zabel’s statistics
Games played and starts describe an offensive lineman’s participation; they do not measure how often he wins an individual block. Seattle’s official game log lists a start in each of its first three 2026 games. Keep regular-season starts separate from postseason starts when comparing his rookie workload with later seasons.

Weekly rows describe the supplied week, not a dated transaction. Observed dates show when a record was checked, not when a contract or roster move took effect. Conflicting records remain separate. Only retained observations are shown; game-day status belongs to the availability report.
Statistics by season
UPDATEDUpdated Oct 5, 2026, 7:51 am EDT
Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.
