White (undisclosed) signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The running back was placed on the practice squad injured list in September and ended the season there, too. Wright did appear in one September game before the injury, playing on five offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps, recording five carries for 20 yards. |

Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 6:36 PM
White signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver appeared in two regular-season games for Seattle in 2025, playing on 13 offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps. He did not record a catch. White was a seventh-round pick of the team in 2025. |

Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 6:31 PM
Jones signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The running back was elevated to the active roster for Super Bowl LX, played 23 snaps on special teams and downed a punt on New England's two yard line. Jones appeared in three games for Seattle during the 2025 regular season, carrying the ball four times for 32 yards. |

Cam Akers Cam Akers Signs reserve/future contract
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 6:15 PM
Akers signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The running back was elevated from the practice squad for Super Bowl LX and played four snaps on special teams. In 2025, he spent time with the Vikings and Seahawks, appeared in six regular-season games and carried the ball five times for 19 yards. Now, he'll likely remain with Seattle at least into OTAs. |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo Plays depth role in rookie season
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 1:10 PM
Arroyo caught 15 of 26 targets for 179 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games in 2025.
Analysis: The 2025 second-round pick from Miami operated as Seattle's No. 2 tight end for most of the season but missed the team's final four regular-season games due to a knee injury. Arroyo's offensive role diminished as the season progressed. He caught 11 of 17 targets for 140 yards over his first seven games but totaled 39 yards and a touchdown on four receptions (nine targets) during his final six regular-season contests. Despite this late-season dip in production, the 22-year-old is expected to compete for a larger offensive role this offseason. |

Dareke Young Dareke Young Career year in 2025
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 12:54 PM
Young caught two of three targets for 48 yards and tallied 322 kick-return yards across nine regular-season games in 2025.
Analysis: The fourth-year pro from Lenoir-Rhyne set career highs in receiving yards and kick-return yards while tying his best reception total, all while appearing in just nine regular-season contests. Young also operated as one of the Seahawks' top special-teamers, logging 156 snaps and tallying nine total tackles during the regular season. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Young could draw interest from teams seeking special-teams help ahead of next season. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Played through hand injury
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 12:10 PM
Bobo had a pin inserted into his hand to repair a metacarpal fracture the day after Seattle's 31-27 NFC Championship win over the Rams, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The wideout told reporters that he had his stitches removed just one day before the Seahawks' 29-13 Super Bowl LX win over the Patriots. Despite the injury, Bobo played 35 snaps during Sunday's victory and excelled as a blocker, helping Seattle rush for 141 yards. The 27-year-old appeared in 14 regular-season games and caught four of five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. Bobo is set to hit restricted free agency this offseason, and the Seahawks will have the opportunity to match any offer he receives once they have given him a tender. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner Scores lone offensive touchdown
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 8:42 AM
Barner caught all four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Analysis: All four of Barner's catches went for first downs, and he finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Cooper Kupp (61). Barner's first postseason touchdown -- a 16-yard reception where he was wide open -- essentially put the game away for the Seahawks in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks trusted the second-year tight end with blocking and pass-catching duties all season, and he finished with 58 receptions for 586 yards and seven touchdowns across 20 games, including the postseason. He should be the leader for the No. 1 tight-end role in 2026 despite the addition of Elijah Arroyo -- a second-round pick in 2025. |

George Holani George Holani Three touches in Super Bowl
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 8:36 AM
Holani rushed twice for six yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 29-13 Super Bowl win over the Patriots.
Analysis: As expected, Kenneth Walker dominated the backfield, racking up 161 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches, but Holani was effective in his limited action. The second-year back out of Boise State finished the season with 27 carries for 83 yards (3.1 YPC) and a touchdown and six receptions for 49 yards through 13 games, including the postseason. With Rashid Shaheed on board, Holani's return duties evaporated in the second half, so he'll likely need to battle for a roster spot in 2026 regardless of the status of Zach Charbonnet (torn ACL). |

Rashid Shaheed Rashid Shaheed Pair of grabs in SB LX victory
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 10:44 PM
Shaheed brought in two of five targets for 27 yards, rushed once for minus-5 yards, returned one kickoff for 20 yards and ran back two punts for 16 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedy Shaheed played his usual multi-faceted role, and he was just inches shy of a much bigger night as Christian Gonzalez managed to knock away a deep pass intended for him down the middle early in the second quarter. Shaheed did manage to contribute gains of 16 and 11 yards on the two catches he recorded, and he made solid complementary contributions on special teams. The fourth-year pro played a relatively modest role in Seattle's air attack after coming over via trade from the Saints midway through the campaign, and it remains to be seen if the Seahawks will be interested in a reunion with the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent. |

Cooper Kupp Cooper Kupp Paces pass catchers in SB LX win
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 10:30 PM
Kupp brought in six of 12 targets for 61 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Analysis: Kupp was the surprise leader for the Seahawks in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with his totals in both the first and third category also serving as game-high figures. The veteran wideout saw an elevated role partly due to the heavy defensive attention Jaxon Smith-Njigba received from Patriots shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez, as well as the fact Smith-Njigba exited the game for a spell in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion. Kupp ultimately played a key part in securing his second career Super Bowl win, and he's likely to continue in a complementary role in 2026 as he enters the second year of his three-year deal with Seattle. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Modest numbers in SB win
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 10:23 PM
Smith-Njigba brought in four of 10 targets for 27 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Analysis: The star receiver couldn't put together anything resembling the typical caliber of performance that earned him the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award earlier in the week, as Christian Gonzalez's blanket coverage served to frequently short-circuit the often prolific Sam Darnold-Smith-Njigba connection. Smith-Njigba also exited the game for a spell in the second half to be evaluated for a concussion, but he was able to return shortly thereafter. Smith-Njigba did have a couple of particularly close calls that could have made his night much different, as Gonzalez made an excellent diving breakup of a would-be touchdown pass to the talented wideout and Darnold also missed him running free deep late in the first quarter. Despite the quiet finish to the Super Bowl run, Smith-Njigba will head into the 2026 season as an upper-echelon fantasy asset that will be snapped up in the very early stages of the first round of drafts next summer. |

Kenneth Walker Kenneth Walker MVP effort in SB LX win
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 9:42 PM
Walker rushed 27 times for 135 yards and brought in two of four targets for 26 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Analysis: Walker and the rest of the Seahawks' offense started the game off in relative modest fashion, but the star running back kickstarted his night in earnest when he ripped off 30- and 29-yard runs during Seattle's first possession of the second quarter. Walker would subsequently find fairly consistent running room against a typically stingy Patriots front seven, recording another four runs of seven or more yards. Walker also had a 49-yard touchdown run just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter that was nullified by an offensive holding penalty, but he handled his workhorse role, which also saw him record a 20-yard reception, with aplomb. Walker's exploits earned him the Super Bowl MVP and capped off an impressive three-game postseason run, one that saw him also record a 116-yard, three-touchdown effort in the divisional-round win over the 49ers and supplement his production on the ground with 104 receiving yards on nine receptions over the trio of contests. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Serviceable performance in SB win
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 9:34 PM
Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added two rushes for five yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Analysis: Both quarterbacks were under pressure early and often from the talented opposing defenses, but for three-plus quarters, Darnold handled the adversity slightly more effectively than the much younger Drake Maye. Darnold managed to take just one sack while throwing the ball away in the nick of time on several occasions, and he was able to string together enough positive plays through the air to keep the chains moving when Kenneth Walker wasn't knifing through New England's front. Darnold relied most on Cooper Kupp and AJ Barner, with the former helping to make up for the blanket coverage on Jaxon Smith-Njigba and his brief second-half absence to be evaluated for a concussion. Barner was also on the receiving end of Darnold's one touchdown pass, which came from 16 yards out early in the fourth quarter. Just as important, the veteran signal-caller managed to close out a turnover-free postseason, after having committed 20 in 17 regular-season contests during his 2025 Seahawks debut campaign. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Clears concussion evaluation
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:44 PM
Smith-Njigba (head) returned in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but has cleared to return and was back on the field for the Seahawks early in the fourth quarter. He caught three passes on nine targets for 24 yards prior to his exit. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Possible concussion
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 8:19 PM
Smith-Njigba is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba was evaluated by medical staff after his helmet bounced off the turf, and he's gone to the locker room to undergo further testing to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, AJ Barner and Kenneth Walker will step into larger roles in the passing game for as long as Smith-Njigba is out of the game. |

Robbie Ouzts Robbie Ouzts Won't suit up for Super Bowl
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 4:15 PM
Ouzts (neck) is inactive for Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Ouzts was limited in all three practices this past week due to a lingering neck injury, but he has not been cleared by the medical staff to play in Sunday's Super Bowl. Brady Russell will be the Seahawks' fullback in Ouzts' absence. |

Jalen Milroe Jalen Milroe Emergency QB3 for Super Bowl
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 4:14 PM
Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback for Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: As the emergency third quarterback, Milroe is not allowed to play in Super Bowl LX unless both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Velus Jones Velus Jones Elevated for Santa Clara
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 4:17 PM
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was elevated for the NFC Championship Game against the Rams, but ended up inactive on game day as the Seahawks chose Cam Akers to be the No. 3 running back behind Kenneth Walker and George Holani. A similar fate is likely in store for Jones this Sunday as the Seahawks take on the Patriots in Super Bowl LX. |

Cam Akers Cam Akers Elevated for Super Bowl LX
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 4:08 PM
The Seahawks elevated Akers from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Akers will be elevated for a second consecutive playoff game. The running back saw just one offensive snap in the NFC Championship Game victory over the Rams, being elevated as a depth piece due to the absence of Zach Charbonnet (ACL). The 26-year-old will likely see similarly minimal usage in Super Bowl LX against the Patriots this Sunday, as George Holani will be the relief back behind Kenneth Walker. |
