Seattle Seahawks

Neal was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for the rookie third-rounder to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As such, Neal will be forced to miss at least four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8. He's mostly operated on special teams this season, but his absence will also weaken the Seahawks' depth in the secondary.

Richman suffered a serious right leg injury during Sunday's preseason loss to the Titans. The offensive lineman will now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The second-year player maintained his depth role on the offensive line throughout his rookie season and will have to fight for the same status in 2027.

The linebacker was waived/injured by Seattle on Sunday. Smith will be out for the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

The Seahawks waived Paul with an injury designation Thursday, and he went unclaimed throughout the waiver process. The linebacker will now miss the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he reached an injury settlement with the club.

The Seahawks designated Price for return from IR on Thursday, and he proceeded to be limited in practice that day before logging a full session Friday. Now that he's been given clearance for his first game action since Week 3 due to a chest injury, the team still needs to activate him from IR by 4 p.m. ET on Monday in order for him to be available in Week 8. Fellow running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) also doesn't have a designation this week, so Seattle's backfield suddenly is crowded, with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani also in the mix.

Clark fractured his ankle in Sunday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans and will need to miss multiple months. The safety's placement on IR means he will now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The rookie second-rounder will likely stick it out on injured reserve and look to make his NFL debut in 2027.

Macdonald didn't outright rule Arroyo out for the entire 2026 campaign, leaving the possibility that the second-year tight end would be available if the Seahawks made a deep playoff run. Regardless, Arroyo will not be available for the rest of the regular season while recovering from a shoulder injury, leaving Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup as the Seahawks' depth options at tight end behind AJ Barner.

Charles' 21-day practice window opened this past Wednesday, but he was not activated from injured reserve before the Seahawks' 32-29 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He could be removed from IR ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, but Charles would have to log a full session during a normal practice to have a realistic chance of playing against Denver.

Bobo sustained a serious knee injury in Friday's joint practice with the Titans. The wide receiver's placement on injured reserve means he will be unable to participate for the Seahawks in the entirety of the 2026 season. With Bobo out of the picture, Tory Horton (undisclosed), Emmanuel Henderson, Montorie Foster and Cody White will have a close competition for starting roles during the remainder of the preseason. The Seahawks also signed wide receiver Julian Hicks in a corresponding move.

It was reported earlier this month that Arnold would be joining the Seahawks, and the move became official Saturday. Per Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network, Arnold will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list while he works through legal issues stemming from an incident in June, so it's unclear when he will be ready to see action with his new team.

Knight is dealing with an apparent hip injury to open the week, and he was unable to log a full practice as a result. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice in full and erase any concerns about his availability for Monday night's contest versus Chicago.

Lock is tending to a lingering right elbow injury and a new oblique issue, which head coach Mike Macdonald said tests Monday that came back "good," and it'll be managed as Week 10 prep goes on, per Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle. Lock's ability to begin the week with some practice reps generally is a good sign, but his status will continue to be watched to ensure he's good to start Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.

A rib injury limited Holani's practice participation all week, and he's now working through a knee issue that popped up on Friday's injury report. Emanuel Wilson has stepped into the RB1 role in the absence of Jadarian Price (chest, IR), and if Holani is not cleared to play, then Velus Jones and Robert Henry will be in line for larger rotational roles out of the backfield behind Wilson.

questionable

Charbonnet opened Week 8 prep with a full practice Wednesday, which marked his fourth consecutive such listing on Seahawks injury reports. Having said that, his downgrade to limited could signify a setback of sorts as the running back seeks his first game action since Jan. 17, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Meanwhile, ellow RB Jadarian Price (chest), who was designated for return from injured reserve this week, went from limited Thursday to full Friday. In the end, Saturday's practice report will reveal both players odds to suit up Monday against the Bears.

Emmanwori appeared on Friday's injury report as a limited participant. The slot cornerback managed to partially practice through his knee issue, but it remains unclear if he will be able to play through it in Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. If Emmanwori cannot suit up, the Seahawks may pivot to more base defense to combat former Seahawk and reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker's ground presence.

The safety missed the Seahawks' preseason loss to the Titans on Sunday after having surgery during the week leading up to the game, per Henderson. Thomas has a chance at a roster spot if he can return soon, especially after rookie second-round pick Bud Clark broke his right ankle against Tennessee. Thomas can also add value on special teams, as he's played on at least 125 snaps in that capacity in all four of his NFL seasons.

questionable

Kupp may have tweaked his back during the Seahawks' 13-10 win over the Patriots in Week 1, when he played 39 of 50 snaps on offense (78.0 percent) and finished with two catches on three targets for 35 yards. Kupp's status for Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Cardinals doesn't appear to be in serious jeopardy, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 2. The Seahawks' pass catchers figure to see a downtick in production with Drew Lock starting at quarterback for the injured Sam Darnold (lower body).

Per Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle, Smith-Njigba appeared to get dinged up on a 16-yard lateral run early in the second quarter of Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers. The injury didn't end up costing the star wideout any significant playing time, but it could result in his practice activity being monitored closely during Week 6 prep while the Seahawks face a quick turnaround with a Thursday game versus the Broncos. At this stage of the week, the expectation is that Smith-Njigba will be able to play without any restrictions.

As a result, it seems likely that Lock's practice reps will be managed this week in order to prepare him for another starting assignment, with fellow signal caller Sam Darnold -- who was inactive in Week 9 -- not ready to return to the lineup this weekend. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 11, which may afford Darnold enough time to return to action Nov. 29 against the 49ers, but barring any setbacks it looks like Lock is bound to fill in again, backed up by Jalen Milroe.

Darnold is one week removed from suffering a quad injury and cracked ribs in a Week 8 loss to the Bears, which sidelined him Sunday against the Cardinals and will keep him in street clothes in Week 10. For as long as Darnold is sidelined, Drew Lock (oblique) is lined up to be the Seahawks' starting quarterback.

Darnold already has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, and the combination of the quadriceps injury and cracked ribs he suffered last Monday against the Bears is threatening to sideline him for multiple weeks. The Seahawks have a Week 11 bye on the schedule, so getting him healthy for the stretch run from late November through early January may sway the team's decision-making. As long as Darnold is out, Drew Lock (right elbow) will direct Seattle's offense.

Pili has missed four games this season, including last Monday's loss to Chicago. He'll be sidelined again this Sunday, as he's dealing with a back injury. Pili's absence probably won't make huge waves in the Seahawks' defensive rotations, as he's logged just 19 defensive snaps through four contests.

Cross will miss his second straight game while tending to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7 against Kansas City. He wasn't able to participate in practice at all this week, and it's unclear when he'll be ready to return to the fold. Josh Jones could start again at left tackle in Cross's stead Sunday.

Williams was not able to practice at all during the week after hurting his shoulder during Monday's game versus the Bears, and he'll be sidelined for his first contest this season in Week 9. In his absence, Mike Morris projects to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

Nelson is set for knee surgery due to an issue the veteran offensive guard has been having with cartilage fragments. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said Friday that the plan is for Nelson to avoid IR and return to the Seahawks after the team's Week 11 bye. Grey Zabel is set to start at left guard for Sunday's game.

With Shaheed out last week, Tory Horton handled a 72 percent route share in Seattle's loss to Chicago. It'll likely be a similar look this week with Horton and Cooper Kupp taking most of the WR snaps alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The big difference will be under center, where Drew Lock is filling in for Sam Darnold (quad) for the second time this season.

Nwosu sat out Monday's game versus the Bears with an ankle injury, and after missing practice Thursday and Friday, he'll miss his second straight game in Week 9. With Nwosu in street clothes, Derick Hall should start on the edge opposite veteran DeMarcus Lawrence on Sunday.

Cross was considered as a non-participant at the team's walkthrough practice Wednesday, and he has now missed the team's first official practice of the week. The offensive lineman hasn't practiced at all since suffering an ankle injury in Week 7 against Kansas City, and he appears to be trending towards missing a second straight game Sunday versus the Cardinals.

questionable

Lock is poised to fill in for Sam Darnold (quadriceps/ribs) this Sunday against the Cardinals, but the former still has some work to do to avoid a designation for that contest after a second straight capped session to begin Week 9 prep. Friday's injury report will reveal if Lock's right elbow issue is behind him, though he appears close to being healthy, as he told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com on Thursday that it's "doing a lot better. ... (It) felt great to get under center, rip some balls yesterday."

questionable

Williams suffered a stinger during the team's Week 8 loss to the Bears, and he has now been forced to miss the team's first official practice of the week Thursday. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to practice Friday before he'll potentially receive an injury designation for Sunday's contest versus Arizona.

Nelson was listed as a limited participant at the team's walkthrough practice Wednesday, but he took a step backwards at the team's first official practice of the week. The offensive lineman made his Seattle debut in Monday night's loss to the Bears, and he appears to have picked up a knee injury in the contest. Nelson will have one more opportunity to return to practice before Sunday's contest against Arizona.

Shaheed has now missed back-to-back practices to open the week as he continues to work his way back from the knee injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 8 loss to Chicago. The wide receiver's chances to play Sunday versus Arizona seem thin, so Tory Horton could serve as the team's No. 3 option at wide receiver again in Week 9.

Head coach Mike Macdonald labeled Darnold week-to-week Wednesday while adding that Darnold isn't expected to be placed on injured reserve due to his injury. Backup Drew Lock missed the previous two games due to an elbow injury but has a chance to return Sunday against the Cardinals and take over the starting role. If Lock isn't ready to suit up, 2025 third-round pick Jalen Milroe could be tabbed for the first regular-season start of the latter's NFL career. Per Henderson, Macdonald also revealed that Darnold suffered a cracked rib on the second play of Seattle's Week 8 loss to the Bears, but the QB managed to play through that injury and eventually injured his quadriceps late in the game.

questionable

Siciliano adds that Lock has an elbow injury that the team will manage during the week, but he's nonetheless set to get the starting assignment Sunday, with fellow signal caller Sam Darnold unavailable due to quad and rib issues. Beyond this weekend, it's possible that Lock's QB1 stint could continue, given that Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that Darnold is viewed as week-to-week, according to coach Mike Macdonald.

questionable

In addition to a quad issue that Darnold sustained late in Monday's loss to the Bears, Macdonald revealed that the quarterback suffered a rib injury early in that contest. The pair of health concerns may have played a part in Darnold's subpar performance, which included 188 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 17-for-34 passing and two carries for 20 yards. With Darnold out for the first time since Week 2, backup QB Drew Lock will draw the Week 9 start under center for the Seahawks.

questionable

Shaheed was sidelined for the first time all season in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears, after his knee injury kept him from practicing throughout the week. In Shaheed's absence, Tory Horton handled elevated snaps as the Seahawks' No. 3 wideout behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, while George Holani served as the team's top kickoff returner. Shaheed may need to turn in a full practice at some point during Week 9 prep to put himself on track to return to action Sunday.

questionable

The nose tackle popped up on the injury report with a back issue Friday and missed the last two practice sessions of the week. Pili has only played 19 defensive snaps in four games this season.

The quarterback is nursing an elbow injury and entered the day with a questionable tag. Now, he can only play against Chicago if Sam Darnold and Jalen Milroe have to exit the contest.

The defensive end made three tackles (two solo) before exiting. Mike Morris and Rylie Mills are Seattle's available backups at defensive tackle.

The linebacker didn't practice all week and came into the day with a doubtful tag. Derick Hall should be the next man up to replace him.

Cross was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury he suffered during the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Chiefs. Josh Jones will likely start at left tackle in the absence of Cross, whose next chance to play is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Lock's practice reps during Week 8 prep were limited by a lingering elbow injury on his throwing arm. He opened the season as the Seahawks' backup QB and started in Week 2 against the Cardinals, but it's possible that he operates as Seattle's emergency third quarterback for a second consecutive game. In that case, he would not be allowed to play Monday unless both Sam Darnold and Jalen Milroe were to leave the game.

The Seahawks designated Price for return from IR on Thursday, and he proceeded to be limited in practice that day before logging a full session Friday. Now that he's been given clearance for his first game action since Week 3 due to a chest injury, the team still needs to activate him from IR by 4 p.m. ET on Monday in order for him to be available in Week 8. Fellow running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) also doesn't have a designation this week, so Seattle's backfield suddenly is crowded, with Emanuel Wilson and George Holani also in the mix.

Shaheed will miss his first game of the 2026 season due to a knee injury that he sustained during the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Chiefs. Tory Horton and Velus Jones are the top candidates to operate as Seattle's returners on kickoffs and punts, and Horton and Cooper Kupp should see a bump in offensive snaps in Shaheed's absence. Shaheed's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8.

doubtful

Jones injured his hamstring in Week 7 against the Chiefs, and that prevented him from practicing all week. Luckily for the Seahawks, their backfield is near full strength, given that neither Zach Charbonnet (knee) nor Jadarian Price (chest, IR) carry injury designations ahead of Monday's contest. Jones' next chance to play is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Lock continues to work through a right elbow injury, which led to him operating as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs in Week 7. He'll have one more chance to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Since the Seahawks designated Price for return from injured reserve Thursday, he logged a limited session in his first chance to do so, followed by Friday's uncapped practice. How he's listed on Saturday's injury report will determine if he has a chance to return in Week 8 against the Bears, and if he's anything but 'Out' he'll need to be activated from IR by Monday afternoon and then be deemed active that evening. Meanwhile, fellow RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) went from full Thursday to limited Friday, seemingly indicating he may be trending in the wrong direction to make his season sebut.

Shaheed suffered a knee injury in the first half of this past Sunday's win against the Chiefs and wasn't able to return. Since then, head coach Mike Macdonald told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that the "early returns are positive" on Shaheed, but with no on-field work yet this week he likely will need to mix into drills Saturday to have a chance to play Monday versus the Bears.

Charbonnet opened Week 8 prep with a full practice Wednesday, which marked his fourth consecutive such listing on Seahawks injury reports. Having said that, his downgrade to limited could signify a setback of sorts as the running back seeks his first game action since Jan. 17, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Meanwhile, ellow RB Jadarian Price (chest), who was designated for return from injured reserve this week, went from limited Thursday to full Friday. In the end, Saturday's practice report will reveal both players odds to suit up Monday against the Bears.

questionable

Lock remained limited at practice Thursday after logging three straight limited sessions before being ruled out for the team's Week 7 win over the Chiefs. The quarterback has been dealing with an elbow injury, and he will have two more chances to notch a full practice prior to Monday night's matchup with the Bears.

It was Price's first practice after being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Thursday, which opened the rookie running back's 21-day window for activation. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) potentially set to debut Monday night against the Bears and the presence of both Emanuel Wilson and George Holani, it's difficult to see any of these running backs being reliable fantasy options until/unless the Seahawks pare this backfield down.

Shaheed was injured in last Sunday night's win over the Chiefs, but indications are he avoided a serious injury. If he's unable to play Monday night against the Bears, Tory Horton will slot into WR3 duties behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.

Knight is dealing with an apparent hip injury to open the week, and he was unable to log a full practice as a result. The linebacker will have two more chances to practice in full and erase any concerns about his availability for Monday night's contest versus Chicago.

Jones exited Sunday night's 20-3 win over Kansas City in the second half with a hamstring injury, and he appears to still be nursing the injury ahead of Week 8. The running back will have two more chances to return to practice before Monday night's contest against the Bears.

Going back to last week, Charbonnet now has logged four straight full sessions, indicating that he's drawing closer to his first game action since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17. Of course, the Seahawks didn't clear him to return this past Sunday against the Chiefs, and rookie first-round RB Jadarian Price (chest) was limited Thursday after the Seahawks designated him for return from IR, throwing another question mark into the potential backfield for Week 8. In any case, Charbonnet will have two more chances to prove his health before Seattle makes a ruling on his status ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.

Cross suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Chiefs. While an official return date hasn't been established, there is hope he can get back on the field in "one or two weeks." With Cross on the shelf, Josh Jones is the favorite to start in Week 8 versus Chicago and beyond.

Seattle will likely make the transaction official Thursday, when the team will hold its first practice ahead of next Monday's game against the Bears. Since the Seahawks will have a 21-day window to evaluate Price before they would need to reinstate him from IR, Macdonald acknowledged that a decision on the running back's status for Monday's contest likely won't be made until the end of the week. Whenever he's activated, Price could be part of a backfield committee backfield with Zach Charbonnet (knee) -- who appears to be trending toward making his 2026 debut versus Chicago -- and potentially Emanuel Wilson and George Holani.

Shaheed logged 22 snaps and caught two of his three targets for one yard before exiting Sunday's 20-3 win over the Chiefs. While Macdonald's initial assessment of the wideout's knee issue is encouraging, Shaheed's status will nonetheless be worth monitoring as next Monday's game against the Bears approaches.

Surratt did not participate in any practices during Week 7 prep. The linebacker remains sidelined with a calf injury, leaving the Seahawks' depth weaker for the primetime matchup with the Chiefs.

Thomas was unable to practice throughout Week 7 prep and has subsequently been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game. The inside linebacker will once again be replaced by Tyrice Knight. Ernest Jones and Knight could have a tough challenge taking on former teammate and reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker.

Lock logged three consecutive limited practices during Week 7 prep. The backup quarterback's throwing arm remains a problem, leaving it unclear whether he will suit up for Sunday's game or if Jalen Milroe will be active for the contest.

Macdonald didn't outright rule Arroyo out for the entire 2026 campaign, leaving the possibility that the second-year tight end would be available if the Seahawks made a deep playoff run. Regardless, Arroyo will not be available for the rest of the regular season while recovering from a shoulder injury, leaving Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup as the Seahawks' depth options at tight end behind AJ Barner.

Emmanwori appeared on Friday's injury report as a limited participant. The slot cornerback managed to partially practice through his knee issue, but it remains unclear if he will be able to play through it in Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. If Emmanwori cannot suit up, the Seahawks may pivot to more base defense to combat former Seahawk and reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker's ground presence.

The Seahawks were required to activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Thursday, as his 21-day practice window was going to expire, but despite logging a full week of practice, he won't make his 2026 debut Sunday. Macdonald also told Crabtree that Charbonnet hasn't had a setback, and the "plan was to get a great week's worth of work and see where we're at, and so we're gonna take it into next week." Charbonnet's next chance to suit up is Monday, Nov. 2, against the Bears, but in Week 7, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will continue to man Seattle's backfield.

questionable

Lock has now been limited in each of Seattle's past five practice sessions, though he was able to suit up last Thursday against Denver. It seems likely that he'll be active again for this Sunday's matchup against Kansas City, though Seattle's practice report Friday should provide more clarity in that regard. If Lock does indeed suit up Sunday, he'll again work as Sam Darnold's backup.

Arroyo sustained a season-ending shoulder injury that will require surgery in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos. The 2025 second-round pick finishes his second NFL regular season with one catch for 17 yards on two targets in six games.

questionable

Because Seattle opened his 21-day practice window Oct. 1, the team was required to activate him by Thursday afternoon, or else he'd need to remain on the PUP list for the rest of the season. Considering he finally logged a full practice Wednesday for the first time since tearing his left ACL on Jan. 17, he's closing in on a return to action. That doesn't necessarily mean Charbonnet will be cleared to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, but Friday's injury report will reveal his chances to do so.

Thomas has not participated in an on-field practice since sustaining his ankle injury in the Seahawks' Week 5 loss to the 49ers. The linebacker remains sidelined due to the injury, leaving Tyrice Knight (oblique) likely to fill in once again next to Ernest Jones in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Lock remains limited in practice as the string of arm issues continues. The backup quarterback will need to practice both Thursday and Friday to have a shot at avoiding an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

questionable

Charbonnet finally achieved the ever elusive full listing on the Seahawks' injury report since the team opened his practice window Oct. 1. Head coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune on Monday that Charbonnet was in line for a "full week of work" and has a "good chance" to make his season debut Sunday versus the Chiefs. Wednesday's activity generally is a good sign on that direction, but Seattle likely wants Charbonnet to string together multiple uncapped sessions before giving him the all-clear for his first game action since Jan. 17, when he tore the ACL in his left knee.

Bradford has been on IR since Sept. 23 while recovering from a knee injury, and he will now have his 21-day practice window opened ahead of Week 7.

It appears the second-year tight end will not play against the Chiefs in Week 7, and a stint on injured reserve seems likely for Arroyo. He's mostly been used as an extra blocker on offense and as a contributor on special teams, but his absence means Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are both candidates for more snaps behind TE1 AJ Barner.

Since the Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window Oct. 1, he hasn't been listed as anything more than a limited participant. Macdonald's comments Monday indicate an upgrade in activity is likely, beginning Wednesday, as the team prepares for a Week 7 showdown with Kansas City. Timing also is at play here, as Seattle must activate Charbonnet from the reserve/PUP list by Wednesday afternoon for him to have any chance to play this season, which of course what is expected. If he's able to do enough to suit up this coming weekend, Charbonnet may not immediately take on a leading role, as Emanuel Wilson and George Holani currently are splitting the backfield reps.

questionable

Price was placed on injured reserve after Week 3 due to a lingering chest injury, and while he must miss one more contest to meet the minimum four-game requirement on the list, he appears as if he'll be ready to go when first eligible in Week 8 against the Bears on Monday, Nov. 2. In the meantime, the Seahawks are expected to get back fellow RB Zach Charbonnet (knee), so Price may be relegated to a lessened role once he's healthy enough to play again.

Surratt was unable to practice at all this week and he will now be forced to miss a third straight contest while nursing a calf injury. In Surratt's absence, Seattle will once again have to find a fill-in for his workload with the special-teams unit.

Following the first two walkthroughs of Week 6 prep, Thomas was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday and will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury. It's not exactly clear who will start alongside Ernest Jones at inside linebacker in Thomas' absence, but Tyrice Knight and Patrick O'Connell figure to be the top candidates to do so. Thomas' next opportunity to play is Week 7 against the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 25.

The Seahawks opened Charbonnet's practice window to return from the reserve/PUP list on Oct. 1, but he's yet to log anything more than a limited practice since then. The team now has until next Thursday, Oct. 22, to activate him, or else he'll be required to miss the rest of the season by rule. Of course, Seattle does expect Charbonnet to play this season, so even if he isn't ready to play in Week 7, the move will be made next week. In the meantime, Emanuel Wilson will continue to lead the backfield, with George Holani backing him up.

Thomas injured his ankle during the first half of Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers and did not return. The short week doesn't give Thomas much time to recover, and his practice participation, if any, over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Broncos on Thursday.

It's unclear when Lock picked up the injury, given that he did not play a single snap during Sunday's 32-29 loss to San Francisco. He's got two more chances to increase his practice participation, but if he cannot play against the Broncos on Thursday, then Jalen Milroe would serve as the Seahawks' backup quarterback behind Sam Darnold.

Charles' 21-day practice window opened this past Wednesday, but he was not activated from injured reserve before the Seahawks' 32-29 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He could be removed from IR ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, but Charles would have to log a full session during a normal practice to have a realistic chance of playing against Denver.

Per Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle, Smith-Njigba appeared to get dinged up on a 16-yard lateral run early in the second quarter of Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers. The injury didn't end up costing the star wideout any significant playing time, but it could result in his practice activity being monitored closely during Week 6 prep while the Seahawks face a quick turnaround with a Thursday game versus the Broncos. At this stage of the week, the expectation is that Smith-Njigba will be able to play without any restrictions.

questionable

Charbonnet, who has been on the reserve/PUP list all season while recovering from the torn ACL he sustained last January, is entering his second week of practicing after Seattle opened his 21-day evaluation window Thursday. Considering that he's been listed as limited in all three of his practices to date, the Seahawks may want to see Charbonnet turn in a week of full practices before activating him. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed as much Monday, reiterating that Charbonnet isn't expected to be reinstated ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, per Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle.

Thomas suffered an ankle injury during the first half of the game, and his status for the second half is now uncertain. In his absence, Tyrice Knight and Patrick O'Connell are both candidates to see increased roles at inside linebacker versus San Francisco.

Milroe remains the third QB behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. The 2025 second-rounder will only be able to enter Sunday's contest if both Darnold and Lock cannot return to the game.

Charles initially drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a trio of limited practices, but he's not quite fully recovered from a knee injury that caused him to open the season on IR. His next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Broncos.

Neal was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for the rookie third-rounder to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As such, Neal will be forced to miss at least four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8. He's mostly operated on special teams this season, but his absence will also weaken the Seahawks' depth in the secondary.

Surratt will now miss consecutive weeks due to a calf injury. The inside linebacker was not able to practice throughout the week, similar to Week 4 prep. The Seahawks will continue to operate with less linebacker depth in Week 5 against the 49ers.

A rib injury limited Holani's practice participation all week, and he's now working through a knee issue that popped up on Friday's injury report. Emanuel Wilson has stepped into the RB1 role in the absence of Jadarian Price (chest, IR), and if Holani is not cleared to play, then Velus Jones and Robert Henry will be in line for larger rotational roles out of the backfield behind Wilson.

Holani played through the issue last Sunday against the Chargers and turned eight touches into 20 yards as the change-of-pace back behind Emanuel Wilson. He should fill a similar role again this Sunday against the 49ers. Holani has minimal fantasy appeal.

Neal was added to the injury report with a hamstring injury Thursday after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The cornerback's status for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers is now a little murky, and he'll have one more chance to practice before Week 5.

questionable

Holani rushed seven times for 18 yards in the Seahawks' Week 4 win over the Chargers. The running back played through a rib injury and looks to be on pace to do so again in Week 5. With limited practice in Thursday and Friday sessions, Holani will likely be free of any injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 26-year-old should continue to play second fiddle to Emanuel Wilson in the contest.

Charles is on injured reserve, though he's seemingly inching closer to getting back on the field. The 29-year-old, who was acquired from the Jets during the offseason, is expected to spend most of his time on special teams upon his return.

Williams suffered an ankle injury during the Seahawks' 30-23 win over the Chargers in Week 4 and did not return, finishing the game with just one quarterback hit and zero tackles. His practice participation over the coming days will shed light on his status for Week 5, but if he cannot play or operates under a snap count, then Jarran Reed and Rylie Mills would both be in line for more defensive snaps against San Francisco.

Seattle opened Charbonnet's 21-day practice window last Thursday, with the running back practicing on a limited basis for the team's final two sessions of Week 4 in what amounted to his first involvement in on-field drills since he tore the ACL in his left knee Jan. 17. Macdonald noted that Charbonnet will take another step forward in Week 5 by getting "team reps" in practices, but the 25-year-old looks like he'll still need some additional time after that to fully ramp up before making his 2026 debut. With rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price (chest) going on injured reserve this past Saturday, Emanuel Wilson took over as the Seahawks' lead back in the Week 4 win over the Chargers, finishing with 120 yards from scrimmage on 24 touches. Wilson will likely continue to carry the load out of the Seattle backfield until Charbonnet is activated.

Price saw his practice participation during Week 4 prep decline due to a chest injury before he was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The injury is severe enough for the rookie first-rounder to go on IR, meaning Price will be forced to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to return until at least Week 8 against the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 2. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani will serve as the Seahawks' top running backs for Week 4 due to Price's absence, but Zach Charbonnet (knee) could also be in the mix for backfield duties as soon as Week 5 against the 49ers if he's activated from the reserve/PUP list.

Pili drew the questionable tag for Sunday after ending Week 3 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He has not progressed enough in the league's concussion protocol to play against Washington, and his next chance to take the field is Week 4 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 4. Rylie Mills and Mike Morris are both in line to see a slight bump in defensive snaps due to Pili's absence.

inactive

Sam Darnold (glute) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Commanders, meaning Drew Lock will move back to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Despite being inactive for Week 3, Milroe could still see the field if both Darnold and Lock exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

inactive

Foster will be inactive for the second consecutive week. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 4 versus the Chargers.

Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury.

Bradford missed the team's Week 2 win over the Cardinals and will now be forced to sit out at least another four games before he's eligible to return. In his absence, Christian Haynes will likely serve as Seattle's starting right guard.

Drew Lock will get the starting nod for Seattle in Week 2 while Darnold tends to the right glute injury he sustained in the Sept. 9 season-opening win over the Patriots, but Darnold looks like he'll be back under center for the Seahawks sooner rather than later. Rapoport relays that it might be "a little bit of a stretch" for Darnold to play Week 3 against the Commanders, but the 29-year-old's outlook could change depending on how extensively he's able to practice leading up to that contest. At this time, the Seahawks' Week 4 matchup with the Chargers appears to be a likelier target for Darnold's return to the lineup.

Bradford was unable to practice Friday, downgrading his participation level after two limited sessions earlier in the week. The starting right guard will be unable to suit up to defend Drew Lock, leaving Christian Haynes as the most likely option to start Sunday's game.

Emmanwori logged limited practices throughout Week 2 prep. The versatile slot cornerback is not healthy enough to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend, but there is a good chance the second-year player could suit up to face the Seahawks' first divisional opponent of the season. If Emmanwori ultimately sits out another game, Nehemiah Pritchett will likely handle the slot cornerback role against Arizona.

Okada missed a second straight week of practice and will not suit up for Sunday's divisional contest with the Cardinals. The strong safety remains sidelined due to a hamstring injury and doesn't appear particularly close to returning to the field. Rodney Thomas will likely be elevated for the second consecutive game to help make up for Okada's absence.

Because Charbonnet resides on the reserve/PUP list, he won't be eligible to practice until at least Week 5 prep, which would still be about a week and a half shy of being nine months removed from the torn left ACL he suffered Jan. 17. Once Seattle decides to open his practice window, he then will have three weeks to prove his health before either being activated or otherwise shut down for the rest of the season. As a result, he likely won't practice when he's first eligible to do so, but Macdonald's comments at least are an encouraging sign that Charbonnet is expected to return at some point in the regular season. Rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson will continue to hold down the fort at running back for the Seahawks for as long as Charbonnet is sidelined.

Kupp may have tweaked his back during the Seahawks' 13-10 win over the Patriots in Week 1, when he played 39 of 50 snaps on offense (78.0 percent) and finished with two catches on three targets for 35 yards. Kupp's status for Sunday's NFC West tilt against the Cardinals doesn't appear to be in serious jeopardy, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 2. The Seahawks' pass catchers figure to see a downtick in production with Drew Lock starting at quarterback for the injured Sam Darnold (lower body).

questionable

Emmanwori was unable to overcome his ankle injury and suit up for last Wednesday's 13-10 victory over the Patriots. The slot cornerback is one of the most important parts of coach Mike Macdonald's Seattle defense, meaning a potential return for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cardinals would be significant. Emmanwori will need to upgrade to full practice participation to dodge an injury designation ahead of the game.

Darnold lasted just five plays into the Seahawks' Super Bowl defense before leaving last Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots due to what was initially described as a hip injury. After a series of updates since then, Darnold is believed to be tending to a "very unique" glute injury that is accompanied by a recovery timetable of four weeks, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. For as long as Darnold is sidelined, Drew Lock will direct Seattle's offense.

Okada has now missed four consecutive regular-season practice sessions with a hamstring injury. The Seahawks' starting strong safety does not appear to have improved much since being ruled out ahead of last Sunday's 13-10 win over the Patriots. Okada will likely miss next Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, leaving Rodney Thomas to once again be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a role in the team's secondary.

questionable

Reports on Darnold's return date have varied, but the latest one indicates he could miss a bit more time than initially anticipated. What's certain is Darnold is dealing with what the Seahawks are calling a "very unique" soft-tissue injury, but one that is expected to lead to a long-term absence.

Emmanwori appears to be ramping up his activity level as he closes in on his recovery from surgery on his right ankle in late July. It remains to be seen if he'll gain clearance to play in Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots, but Tuesday's practice report may provide clarity on his upcoming availability (or lack thereof).

Okada sat out Sunday's practice as well, marking consecutive missed sessions due to the hamstring injury. It appears increasingly unlikely the 27-year-old will be able to suit up for Wednesday's Week 1 matchup against the Patriots, and it remains to be seen who'll slide into Okada's starting strong safety role if he's indeed sidelined.

Macdonald added that Charbonnet looks "dang good." The running back is on reserve/PUP to begin the season and will miss at least the first four games, but it sounds like he could return sometime next month. Seattle's backfield picture remains murky with rookie Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson all options to see snaps. Adding Charbonnet's name to the mix will only muddy the picture. Price looks like the best bet for fantasy production, but the coaching staff has an affinity for Charbonnet, especially near the goal line.

Coach Mike Macdonald relayed Aug. 18 that Horton was dealing with a health concern but wouldn't elaborate further. On Aug. 27, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reported that Horton's issue was of the long-term variety, but it wasn't until the Seahawks posted their first Week 1 practice report that its nature was revealed. Horton will have two more days to prove his health ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the Patriots.

The linebacker was waived/injured by Seattle on Sunday. Smith will be out for the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

Charles was traded to Seattle in late May, and he suffered an undisclosed injury at some point during the preseason. The wide receiver will now be sidelined for at least four contests to open the regular season, and the earliest he'd be able to return to action is Week 5 against the 49ers on Oct. 11.

It was reported earlier this month that Arnold would be joining the Seahawks, and the move became official Saturday. Per Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network, Arnold will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list while he works through legal issues stemming from an incident in June, so it's unclear when he will be ready to see action with his new team.

The Seahawks waived Paul with an injury designation Thursday, and he went unclaimed throughout the waiver process. The linebacker will now miss the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he reached an injury settlement with the club.

Horton has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury for over a week, but head coach Mike Macdonald shed some light on the situation Thursday, explaining that the wide receiver isn't dealing with a significant injury. With fellow wideout Jake Bobo (knee) already sidelined for the year, Horton will have an opportunity to elevate into a more substantial role with Seattle in his second campaign with the team.

Clark fractured his ankle in Sunday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans and will need to miss multiple months. The safety's placement on IR means he will now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The rookie second-rounder will likely stick it out on injured reserve and look to make his NFL debut in 2027.

Richman suffered a serious right leg injury during Sunday's preseason loss to the Titans. The offensive lineman will now miss the entirety of the 2026 regular season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The second-year player maintained his depth role on the offensive line throughout his rookie season and will have to fight for the same status in 2027.

The safety missed the Seahawks' preseason loss to the Titans on Sunday after having surgery during the week leading up to the game, per Henderson. Thomas has a chance at a roster spot if he can return soon, especially after rookie second-round pick Bud Clark broke his right ankle against Tennessee. Thomas can also add value on special teams, as he's played on at least 125 snaps in that capacity in all four of his NFL seasons.

Bobo sustained a serious knee injury in Friday's joint practice with the Titans. The wide receiver's placement on injured reserve means he will be unable to participate for the Seahawks in the entirety of the 2026 season. With Bobo out of the picture, Tory Horton (undisclosed), Emmanuel Henderson, Montorie Foster and Cody White will have a close competition for starting roles during the remainder of the preseason. The Seahawks also signed wide receiver Julian Hicks in a corresponding move.

Since placing Charbonnet (who unsurprisingly was on Seattle's 'did not play' list in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys) on the PUP list July 22, the Seahawks haven't offered a concrete update on when the running back might return to practice. However, given that surgery to repair the torn ACL Charbonnet sustained during last season's playoffs didn't occur until Feb. 20, it's reasonable to expect Charbonnet will remain sidelined out of the gate once the team's regular-season slate commences. In that scenario, fellow RBs Jadarian Price (lower body), George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) would be in line to see added opportunities early on this season. Seattle's unofficial depth chart currently lists Holani ahead of Price (listed second) and Wilson (third), and while Holani figures to see his share of touches come Week 1, Price -- the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- remains the upside play in fantasy terms and also should claim a decent portion of the workload, provided he can get (and stay) healthy before then.

Emmanwori had surgery ahead of training camp related to a sprained ankle he suffered four days prior to Super Bowl LX, and he has now taken a big step toward returning to the field. It's still not fully clear whether he'll be ready to go by Week 1 of the regular season, however. His status will be worth keeping an eye on as the preseason unfolds.

Bobo missed two weeks with a hamstring issue but is now back in action. The wide receiver's return means Emmanuel Henderson and Cody White will likely be fighting for the final 53-man roster spot, assuming the Seahawks once again keep six wide receivers. Bobo should slot right back into his roles as a key special-teamer and depth option for the offense.

The severity of Pili's injury is unclear, but he'll aim to return to practice before the Seahawks' preseason opener against the Cowboys on Saturday, Aug. 15. He served in a rotational role on the Seahawks' defensive line last year, finishing with 12 tackles (one solo) and one forced fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games. Pili, assuming he can get healthy, will use training camp as his opportunity to solidify his backup role behind Jarran Reed, with Deven Eastern and Uso Seumalo representing Pili's main competition.

It's unclear when Neal sustained the injury, but his status is worth monitoring over the coming days. He was a third-round selection of the Seahawks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the rookie out of Arkansas is competing for a rotational role in Seattle's secondary, though his clearest path to playing time figures to be as a contributor on special teams.

The move doesn't come as a surprise, as Charbonnet is coming back from February knee surgery. While a timetable has yet to be outlined for his return, coach Mike Macdonald has been impressed by the work that the running back has been putting in during his rehab process. "He's doing a great job," Macdonald said of Charbonnet last month. "I know he has high expectations for himself, and we're looking forward to seeing where it ends up." At this stage, the expectation is that Charbonnet will miss time out of the gate this season, but once he's ready to return to game action, the 2023 second-rounder will look to claim a key role in a Seahawks RB corps that no longer includes Kenneth Walker. For now, Jadarian Price, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are the team's top healthy options at the position.
