Returns from hamstring injury
Hawkins (hamstring) played 26 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 2-2 draw against San Diego FC, marking his return from injury.
Analysis: Hawkins returned to action after missing the previous draw against Montreal due to a hamstring issue. The defender was introduced for the final 26 minutes against San Diego, suggesting he has recovered sufficiently to resume competitive action. His return provides Seattle with additional defensive depth, although he could continue to see limited minutes as he works his way back to full match fitness.
Monitored for hamstring concern
Hawkins is being monitored after missing Saturday's draw with Montreal with hamstring problem, according to coach Brian Schmetzer, per Niko Moreno.
Analysis: Hawkins is pushing to return from the hamstring issue that forced him to miss the draw with Montreal. The defender has participated in training, but the staff are keeping a close eye on him and will make a call later in the week.
Plays full game
Hawkins had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Hawkins recorded 42 passes and also made four clearances and a tackle. He has now played the full 90 minutes in all three games since he netted against Austin.
Scores as sub
Hawkins scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against Austin FC.
Analysis: Hawkins kept his side from going scoreless Wednesday, coming off the bench to net their lone goal in the loss to Austin. He's still working back into rhythm after his injury, starting twice across his last four MLS appearances and producing one goal on two shots, along with 13 clearances and three tackles in that span.
