Misses practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 7:51 PM
Nelson (knee) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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.
Misses another practice
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 7:39 PM
Cross (ankle) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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.
Unavailable for practice
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:46 PM
Williams (shoulder) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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.
Limited practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:42 PM
Jones (ankle) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was added to the injury report with an ankle injury Thursday after he was considered to be a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough practice. The linebacker will have one more chance to log a full practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.
Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed Misses another practice
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:25 PM
Shaheed (knee) didn't participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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.
Drew Lock
Drew Lock Another limited practice
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 6:13 PM
Lock (right elbow) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: 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."
Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold Considered week-to-week
Thu, Nov 5, 2026, 9:41 AM
Darnold (quadriceps), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is considered week-to-week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.
Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed DNP on Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 8:39 PM
Shaheed (knee) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Shaheed missed Monday night's loss to the Bears, which allowed Tory Horton to log a season-high 43 offensive snaps, which he turned into a 3-26-0 receiving line on six targets. Horton would again be in line for WR3 duties if Shaheed needs to sit Sunday against Arizona.
Drew Lock
Drew Lock Listed as limited Wednesday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 8:21 PM
Lock (right elbow) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks ruled out Sam Darnold (quadriceps/ribs) for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, which places Lock in line for his second start of the campaign. However, Lock suffered a right elbow injury during Week 7 prep that left him as Seattle's emergency third quarterback the last two games. Assuming he gains clearance to suit up in Week 9, he'll be under center for Sunday's NFC West matchup.
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe Set for increased reps at practice
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:05 PM
Milroe will get added reps at practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Milroe is expected to serve as the top backup behind Drew Lock at quarterback in Week 9 with Sam Darnold (quadriceps) sidelined. Milroe has yet to appear in a regular-season contest this season and likely won't do so Sunday unless Lock is forced out of the contest with an injury.
Drew Lock
Drew Lock Set to start Sunday
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 1:03 PM
Lock (elbow) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals, perNFL reporter Andrew Siciliano.
Analysis: 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.
Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold Won't play in Week 9
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 1:02 PM
Head coach Mike Macdonald announced that Darnold won't play Sunday against the Cardinals due to a quadriceps injury, NFL reporter Andrew Siciliano reports.
Analysis: 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.
Tallies 13 tackles on Monday Night Football
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 10:32 PM
Jones recorded 13 tackles and a defensed pass in Monday's Week 8 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Jones not only led Seattle in stops in the loss, he also tied the season-high mark he first established in Week 1 versus New England. The veteran linebacker continues to be an impactful IDP asset in his sixth NFL campaign, as he ranks third in the NFL with 81 tackles through eight weeks. Jones has recorded at least eight stops in every one of his appearances this season.
Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed Iffy for Week 9
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 12:55 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Tuesday that Shaheed (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.
Tory Horton
Tory Horton Draws season-high six targets
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 11:16 AM
Horton recorded three receptions for 26 yards on six targets in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Horton was on the field for 43 of the Seahawks' 63 offensive snaps, with his 68 percent share representing a season high. The six targets were also a season-best total for Horton, who was the main beneficiary of extra playing time due to the absence of Rashid Shaheed (knee). If Shaheed is cleared to play in the Seahawks' Week 9 game against the Cardinals, Horton will likely see his role get reduced.
George Holani
George Holani Snap count drops in Week 8
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 10:58 AM
Holani carried once for nine yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears. He also returned six kickoffs for 144 yards.
Analysis: With the Seahawks clearing Zach Charbonnet (knee) to make his season debut and with Jadarian Price (chest) coming off injured reserve, Holani predictably saw his playing time out of the backfield take a hit. He was on the field for just 11 of the Seahawks' 63 offensive snaps, with his season-low 17 percent snap share placing him comfortably behind Price (48 percent) and Charbonnet (37 percent) but ahead of Emanuel Wilson (zero snaps). For the first time all season, Holani was called upon to serve as the Seahawks' primary kickoff returner, as Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Velus Jones (hamstring) were inactive Monday.
Emanuel Wilson
Emanuel Wilson Relegated to special teams Monday
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 9:18 AM
Wilson played just seven snaps -- all on special teams -- in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: After logging double-digit carries in six of the Seahawks' previous seven games while scoring four touchdowns and averaging 66.4 scrimmage yards during that span, Wilson fell out of the game plan entirely in Week 8. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting cleared to make his 2026 debut, Jadarian Price (chest) returning from injured reserve and George Holani still on hand as an option on passing downs, the Seahawks had no reps available out of the backfield for Wilson. Unless Charbonnet or Price succumbs to another injury, Wilson's playing time on offense will likely remain scarce moving forward.
Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold Middling numbers in Week 8 loss
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 11:24 PM
Darnold completed 17 of 34 passes for 188 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two rushes for 20 yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.
Analysis: Darnold averaged just 5.5 yards per attempt and took three sacks from a Bears defense that made an impact addition in Jeffery Simmons on Thursday via trade with the Titans. Darnold's 50.0 percent completion rate was a season low for him in non-injury-shortened games, and the veteran signal-caller also threw an interception for the sixth consecutive contest. Darnold did throw multiple touchdowns for the first time since Week 4, connecting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba (43 yards) and Cooper Kupp (seven yards) for his pair of scoring strikes. Darnold will take an unsightly 10:9 TD:INT heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Zach Charbonnet
Zach Charbonnet Nine touches in season debut
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 11:19 PM
Charbonnet (knee) rushed six times for 23 yards and brought in three of four targets for six yards in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.
Analysis: Charbonnet took the first carry of the night for Seattle, gaining an encouraging five yards on his first tote since tearing his ACL in a divisional-round win over the 49ers in January. Charbonnet also subsequently rattled off a 13-yard gain in the third quarter, but he was limited on his other touches and ultimately had four fewer rush attempts than Jadarian Price. Charbonnet's snap share and touches should gradually increase, and a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals could serve as a good platform for his workload to see a nice bump.
Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp Scores TD on only Week 8 reception
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 11:18 PM
Kupp caught one of three targets for a seven-yard touchdown Monday in a loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Kupp had another low target share, but he at least made the most of his only catch by hauling in a seven-yard TD early in the fourth quarter. That score probably isn't going to be enough to inspire confidence in him in fantasy, though, given that the veteran wideout has drawn three or fewer targets in six of his eight games this season. Kupp's seven receiving yards Monday were also a season-low mark, and there simply doesn't seem to be much room for any wideout aside from Jaxon Smith-Njigba to regularly find success in Seattle's offense given Smith-Njigba's massive target share. With that said, Kupp will at least have a favorable matchup in Week 9, as he'll face an Arizona defense that has surrendered 11 receiving TDs to wideouts, tied for the most in the NFL.
