Robbie Ouzts Robbie Ouzts Dealing with lingering issue
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 7:00 PM
Ouzts remains sidelined with an undisclosed issue, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: The fullback has not seen the practice field lately, and Seattle coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Monday that the team would "try to find some more information," per Crabtree. Ouzts missed the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl last season due to a neck injury, but he did return for OTAs in May. The 2025 fifth-round pick played on 203 offensive snaps across 12 regular-season games as a rookie. |

Nursing leg injury
Sun, Aug 2, 2026, 12:46 PM
Pili missed a third consecutive training camp practice Sunday due to a lower-leg injury, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Dealing with leg injury
Sun, Aug 2, 2026, 12:24 PM
Neal has missed four consecutive training camp practices due to a leg injury, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price First up for first-team reps
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 8:59 AM
Price got the opening first-team backfield reps during Seattle's first full-team scrimmage Thursday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Price continues on an upward trajectory after starting training camp as the second RB behind George Holani. Holani remains involved enough to keep this from being a settled depth chart, but Price's draft capital and early camp usage keep him trending toward Seattle's most fantasy-relevant back while Zach Charbonnet (ACL) works his way back to full health. Once Price, Charbonnet and Holani are on the field together, however, the Seahawks' backfield may be difficult to prognosticate. |

Back at practice
Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 6:38 PM
Eastern (undisclosed) passed his physical and was taken off the Seahawks' active/PUP list Thursday.
Analysis: Less than two weeks after Seattle sent Eastern to its PUP list with an unspecified injury, he's already back in action. He'll be competing with the likes of 2025 fifth-rounder Rylie Mills and undrafted rookie free agent Uso Seumalo for a spot on the defensive-line depth chart in 2026. |

Kyre Duplessis Kyre Duplessis Signs with Seattle
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 7:16 PM
The Seahawks signed Duplessis on Wednesday, Ari Horton of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks invited Duplessis to a tryout Wednesday and signed him on the same day, with the Delaware product taking the spot vacated by Kenny McIntosh, who was waived by Seattle on Monday. Duplessis logged 60 catches for 824 yards and five touchdowns across 13 games in his final collegiate season, but he's considered a long shot to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. |

Rashid Shaheed Rashid Shaheed Expanded role ahead
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 4:05 PM
Shaheed is preparing for a larger offensive role in his first full season with the Seahawks after getting a full offseason and training camp to build chemistry with Sam Darnold, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Shaheed remained a big-play and return-game weapon after joining Seattle midseason in 2025, but his receiving role was limited as he adjusted on the fly to a new team and offense. That should change now that he's had an offseason to build familiarity with new OC Brian Fleury and improve his timing with with Darnold, giving him a clearer path to downfield targets alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Shaheed's week-to-week fantasy value may remain volatile, but he boasts an obvious ceiling if Seattle follows through on finding more ways to get him the ball. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Nursing leg injury
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 6:22 PM
Bobo did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice due to a leg injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Per Bell, Bobo picked up the injury during Monday's session and was forced to leave early. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but getting back on the practice field is crucial for the fourth-year wideout, who is competing against Tory Horton and rookie sixth-rounder Emmanuel Henderson for the WR4 job behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp. Bobo split his snaps evenly between offense and special teams last year and finished the regular season with two catches (on as many targets) for 20 yards across 11 games. He also caught a 17-yard touchdown pass during the NFC Championship Game against the Rams. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Eying another step forward
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 9:38 AM
Smith-Njigba said he wants to show "different levels" and become an "upgraded version" of himself in 2026 after leading the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards last season, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba enters camp as Seattle's clear offensive centerpiece after an Offensive Player of the Year season and Super Bowl run, but his surroundings have shifted. With former OC Klint Kubiak gone and first-time play caller Brian Fleury taking over, the offense could look notably different despite the return of quarterback Sam Darnold. Smith-Njigba is coming off a season that proves his elite fantasy ceiling beyond a doubt, but it remains to be seen whether Fleury can effectively move him around the formation and create mismatches the way Kubiak did. |

Kenny McIntosh Kenny McIntosh Likely to be cut
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 8:17 PM
The Seahawks are expected to waive McIntosh, who is continuing to recover from a torn ACL, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: McIntosh saw action in all 17 of Seattle's regular-season games in 2024 but tore his ACL during training camp last July and spent the entire campaign on IR. He was placed on the active/PUP list last Wednesday and hasn't yet been able to practice during training camp. It appears Seattle will ultimately elect to part ways with McIntosh, who had been expected to compete for depth reps in the team's backfield in 2026. |

George Holani George Holani Alternating with first team
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 1:51 PM
Holani and rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price have split first-team reps during the early days of training camp, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Holani was often the first RB up for first-team reps during OTAs, and at this stage he and Price appear to have cemented themselves atop the depth chart, with Zach Charbonnet (ACL) on the active/PUP list and Emanuel Wilson seemingly in a depth role. Seahawks coaches have reportedly stressed Price growing as a pass catcher, but unless the rookie is able to make rapid improvements throughout camp, Holani could be the favorite for third-down reps come Week 1. The early-season workload split beyond that point seems like it will come down to a true competition between Price and Holani, though once Charbonnet is cleared to return Seattle could end up deploying all three to some extent. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Splitting first-team reps
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 12:24 PM
Price is sharing first-team backfield work with George Holani early in Seahawks training camp, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Price appears to be focusing on improvements in the passing game to begin his NFL career. Despite Price's first-round draft capital and superior burst, Holani has earned enough trust over his years with Seattle to manufacture a real competition for opportunities in the receiving game. With Zach Charbonnet (ACL) still working his way back from knee surgery and having begun camp on the active/PUP list, Price has a clear path to a significant role Week 1 if he can separate from Holani during camp. Emanuel Wilson, meanwhile, appears to be trending toward a depth role. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner On field at camp
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 9:28 AM
Barner (undisclosed) is participating in the start of Seattle's training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 reports.
Analysis: Barner's availability to open camp is a positive early sign after he missed offseason workouts due to a pair of undisclosed surgeries. The 2024 fourth-rounder is looking to defend his role as the Seahawks' clear top tight end in a room that also includes second-year option Elijah Arroyo. Barner started all 17 regular-season games in 2025, totaling 52 catches (on 68 targets) for 519 yards and six touchdowns. |

Tory Horton Tory Horton Back for camp
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 9:00 AM
Horton (shin/groin) was back on the field for Seattle's first training-camp practice Sunday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Horton's return is a notable step after he was held out of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills during offseason team activities. Though his promising rookie year was cut short, he flashed touchdown upside on limited volume with five receiving scores and a punt-return touchdown across just eight regular-season games. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed still give Seattle a crowded receiver room, but Horton now has a full camp to push for a rotational role and maintain deep-league relevance. |

Uncertainty about Week 1 status
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 5:42 PM
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald responded "I don't know" Saturday when asked about Emmanwori's (ankle) potential availability for Week 1 of the regular season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: An earlier report by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com indicated that Emmanwori would likely be ready to go by the regular-season opener, but there's reason to be at least a little less optimistic about that scenario following Macdonald's comments. Per Bell, Macdonald also confirmed that the surgery Emmanwori underwent recently was tied to the sprained ankle he suffered four days before Super Bowl LX. While the standout defensive back doesn't currently have a definitive timeline to return to the field, Macdonald indicated that Emmanwori isn't dealing with a serious, long-term issue. |

Nick Vannett Nick Vannett Rejoining Seattle
Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 3:29 PM
The Seahawks signed Vannett to a contract Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Vannett most recently spent time with the Vikings and Rams during the 2025 regular season and also played in Los Angeles' NFC wild-card win over the Panthers. While the veteran tight end was primarily deployed on special teams, he did log a total of 55 snaps from scrimmage across 10 regular-season games between his two stops. In his return to the team that selected him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Vannett is expected to fill a similar role as a depth option at tight end. |

Has surgery on ankle
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 7:50 PM
Emmanwori is expected to be ready for Week 1 after undergoing surgery on his right ankle ahead of training camp, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's anticipated that Emmanwori will miss some time during camp as he recovers from the procedure, but at this point, it seems like it won't keep him out of any regular-season game action. Until he can get back onto the practice field, free agent acquisition Noah Igbinoghene could see some work in the secondary with the first team. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet Placed on PUP list
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 11:54 AM
The Seahawks have placed Charbonnet (knee) on the physically unable to perform list ahead of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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. |

Kenny McIntosh Kenny McIntosh Placed on PUP list
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 3:24 PM
The Seahawks placed McIntosh (ACL) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: McIntosh is continuing to recover from a left ACL tear suffered last July, and it appears the issue will cause him to miss at least the early portion of training camp. Once he's healthy enough to practice, though, McIntosh will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point during camp. If he were to need more time to recover late when rosters are reduced to 53 players in late August, though, McIntosh would have to miss at least four regular-season games on the reserve/PUP list. |

Designated for PUP list
Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 3:19 PM
The Seahawks placed Broden (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Broden appears to still be working his way back from the undisclosed issue that caused him to end last season on the practice squad injured list. Once healthy enough to practice, he'll be eligible to be activated from the PUP list at any point during training camp. |
