Signs four-year extension
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 10:31 AM
Witherspoon and the Seahawks agreed to a four-year, $132 million contract extension Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The deal includes $101 million guaranteed and makes Witherspoon the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history. A three-time Pro Bowler, Witherspoon was named to the All-Pro Second-Team last year after logging 72 tackles (48 solo), including 0.5 sacks, seven pass defenses (one interception) and one fumble recovery across 12 regular-season games. He played a pivotal role in the Seahawks' run to the Super Bowl and has been rewarded with a massive extension, solidifying the team's secondary that also includes Josh Jobe, Nick Emmanwori (ankle), Ty Okada and Julian Love. |

Robbie Ouzts Robbie Ouzts Not facing career-threatening issue
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 6:27 PM
Ouzts' neck injury is likely not a career-threatening issue, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks feel that placing Ouzts on season-ending injured reserve will help the fullback's career long-term. Neck injuries are notoriously tricky, and the organization does not want to make any mistakes that might cost the 23-year-old his career or his health after football. The team will re-evaluate the 2025 fifth-rounder's playing potential during the 2027 offseason. |

One last year
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 6:19 PM
Lawrence has declared that he will retire after the 2026 season, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports.
Analysis: Lawrence is entering season 13 as a Super Bowl champion. The 34-year-old participated in 16 regular-season games last year, producing 53 tackles (24 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while forcing and recovering three fumbles in the process. The starting middle linebacker discussed the decision extensively with his family waiting back home in Dallas and has decided on one last ride to help give the Seahawks a chance at consecutive championships. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Not playing Saturday
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 3:47 PM
Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Darnold won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game versus the Cowboys, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Darnold will have two more opportunities to log some exhibition action before the regular season, with the next such chance coming Sunday, Aug. 23 at Tennessee. While the Seahawks' receiving corps didn't experience significant changes in the offseason, the backfield lost Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs in free agency, while Zach Charbonnet remains in recovery mode from a January ACL tear. Darnold thus will be handing off to some combination of rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price (lower body), George Holani and Emanuel Wilson to kick off the regular season. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Won't play Saturday
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 3:38 PM
Price (lower body) won't suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Price has been tending to lower-body soreness since last Friday and hasn't practiced in the interim, but he was spotted running on a side field Tuesday and then took part in Wednesday's walkthrough, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price is still "on the mend," so it remains to be seen when he'll mix back into at least individual drills. It also should be noted that Price was listed as the Seahawks' No. 2 RB on the team's first unofficial depth chart of training camp behind George Holani and ahead of Emanuel Wilson, so the rookie first-round pick may have some work to do to handle a larger share of the backfield work to begin the regular season. |

In line to sign with Seahawks
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 6:26 PM
Arnold is planning to sign with the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday.
Analysis: Arnold visited with the Texans, Saints and Giants, but has ultimately chosen the 2025 Super Bowl champions. The NFL still has a decision to make regarding possibly placing the cornerback on the Commissioner's Exempt List due to his felony charges for robbery and kidnapping that occurred in February. In any event, it appears as though the Seahawks are willing to take a chance on the former Lions starter as long as he is allowed to play. Prior to landing on IR due to a shoulder injury last December, Arnold recorded 31 tackles, eight pass breakups and one interception over eight regular-season games with Detroit in 2025. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Always willing to be coached up
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 8:48 PM
Smith-Njigba is always willing to be coached up in an attempt to be a better player, Anthony Moeglin of Roundtable Sports reports.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba is coming off of a 2025 campaign during which he caught 119 of 162 targets for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns over 17 regular-season games, ultimately being named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year. That hasn't stopped him from challenging himself though. "He's the only No. 1 wideout I've been around where you can challenge him, and he's not taking it personally... he wants to be coached, he wants to be challenged," said Seahawks wide receiver coach Frisman Jackson. It's hard to imagine that Smith-Njigba has another level to his game, but with Seattle's former top running back Kenneth Walker leaving for Kansas City in free agency, the team may have to lean on the passing game at times in 2026, potentially leading to even more opportunities for Sam Darnold to connect with his star wide receiver in the passing game. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Takes part in Wednesday's walkthrough
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 5:42 PM
Price (lower body) participated in Wednesday's walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Price first sat out last Friday's practice due to lower-body soreness, but progressed to running on a side field Tuesday before Wednesday's development. The Seahawks posted their first unofficial depth chart of training camp this week, and Price was listed as the No. 2 RB behind George Holani and ahead of Emanuel Wilson. Price's status as a 2026 first-round pick indicates he'll be a part of game plans from the start of his NFL career, but he also seems likely to be in some sort of timeshare with Holani and even Wilson. First, though, Price will focus on getting healthy. |

George Holani George Holani Listed atop preseason depth chart
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 9:24 AM
Holani has been a standout at training camp and is listed as a starter on the initial preseason depth chart, SI.com's Randy Gurzi reports.
Analysis: With Zach Charbonnet (knee) unavailable, Holani and rookie Jadarian Price have taken most of the first-team reps at training camp. Holani is listed as the starter, but he could still end up seeing most of his playing time on passing downs while Price gets mot of the carries early in the year. Until there's a clearer picture, both Price and Holani should be rostered in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Returns to limited practice
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 6:35 PM
Price (lower body) returned to a limited practice Tuesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Price has missed the last handful of days with a lower-body soreness but progressed to running on a side field Tuesday. He appears to be nearing a return to team drills. With Price and Zach Charbonnet (knee) missing practice, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson have been getting additional reps with the first-team offense. |

Passes physical
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 6:27 PM
Emmanwori (ankle) passed his physical Tuesday and has been taken off the Seahawks' active/PUP list, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Robbie Ouzts Robbie Ouzts Done for 2026
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 5:11 PM
The Seahawks placed Ouzts (neck) on injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Ouzts has been sidelined by a neck injury, which is severe enough for him to go on injured reserve and miss the entire 2026 season. With the Alabama product done for the year, Brady Russell and Brock Lampe remain the only two fullbacks on the Seahawks' 90-man training camp roster. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Building rapport with new OC
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 8:37 PM
Darnold and the Seahawks' offense are adjusting to the scheme of new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Darnold enjoyed a productive 2025 season with Klint Kubiak as the offensive coordinator, with the duo playing a key part in the Seahawks' Super Bowl LX win. After Kubiak left for Las Vegas to be the head coach, Seattle brought in Fleury to take over as the offensive coordinator after four years as San Francisco's tight ends coach. Fleury has no experience playing calls, so he and Darnold have used the offseason to work toward full alignment on how to approach each game and series. The Seahawks also lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs in the offseason, but Darnold still has Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as well as Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp and tight end AJ Barner. Darnold and the offense will look to iron out the details in training camp and preseason games before starting their title defense in a Super Bowl rematch against the Patriots on Wednesday, Sept. 9. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Back in action
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 6:55 PM
Bobo (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Expected back soon
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 9:28 PM
Price (lower body) didn't practice Saturday, but coach Mike Macdonald said the rookie running back should be back in a matter of days, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Price has missed the past two days of practice due to what Macdonald has called soreness in his lower body, but the head coach suggested Saturday that the issue is minor. That doesn't necessarily mean Price will play in the team's first preseason game next Saturday versus Dallas, but he's expected to be back at practice before then. Price is ticketed for a big role in Seattle's backfield as a rookie, and he could be the team's Week 1 starter at RB if Zach Charbonnet (knee) isn't ready to suit up. |

Clears waivers, reverts to IR
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 6:42 PM
Vaughn (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Vaughn signed with Seattle on Aug. 1, but he suffered an injury soon thereafter and was waived/injured Friday. Because he wasn't claimed off waivers, the linebacker has reverted to IR. Vaughn will therefore need to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Seattle. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Dealing with lower-body soreness
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 4:34 PM
Price didn't practice Friday due to "lower-body soreness," Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: In the early stages of training camp, Price has been handling first-team reps along with fellow RB George Holani. The breakdown of reps in the Seahawks backfield to start the season remains up in the air with Zach Charbonnet in recovery mode from his January ACL tear and Kenneth Walker now in Kansas City. The team invested a first-round pick in Price back in April, presumably with the expectation that he'd be the lead runner while Charbonnet is sidelined, but Holani and even free-agent pickup Emanuel Wilson also may be a part of game plans Week 1 and beyond. |

Suited up for camp
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 8:12 PM
Finley (knee) is participating at the Seahawks' training camp, Kevin Clark of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Finley spent the 2025 season on Seattle's injured reserve list with a knee injury, but he appears to be back at full strength for training camp. In four games with the Seahawks in 2024, he played 68 total snaps, 62 of which came on special teams. |

Brock Lampe Brock Lampe Signs with Seahawks
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 7:03 PM
Seattle signed Lampe on Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Lampe spent the 2025 season on New England's injured reserve list after going undrafted out of Northern Illinois, and now he'll compete for a roster spot on the team that beat those Patriots in the Super Bowl. At a minimum, he should be able to handle some of the practice reps vacated by 2025 fifth-rounder Robbie Ouzts as he tends to an undisclosed injury. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Dealing with hamstring issue
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 6:45 PM
Bobo (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's training camp session due to injury, Gregg Bell of thenewstribune.com reports.
Analysis: Bobo has yet to practice this week. The wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury during last Monday's session. There is no update on the 28-year-old's recovery timeline, but his absence makes way for Emmanuel Henderson and Cody White to prove they're worthy of the active roster. |
