First two selections of 2024 NFL Draft: DT Byron Murphy II, Texas (No. 16 overall), G Christian Haynes, UConn (81)

Perhaps even more notable, though, is that Minnesota will face a Seahawks squad not led by Pete Carroll for the first time November 2009 (Carroll took the helm in 2010), which was the last time Minnesota won at Seattle.
Macdonald most recently served as the Ravens defensive coordinator from 2022-23.
