News
Misses consecutive sessions
Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 6:44 PM
Okada (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: 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.
Remains limited Monday
Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 4:06 PM
Emmanwori (ankle) again was limited at Monday's practice, but coach Mike Macdonald said he "did the most work he has yet," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: 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).
Zach Charbonnet
Zach Charbonnet Progressing in rehab
Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 3:53 PM
Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Charbonnet (knee) looks "awesome" in his rehab from a torn ACL, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: 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.
Full practice on Sunday
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 7:27 PM
Neal (quadriceps) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Neal had been dealing with a quadriceps injury but should be all set to go for Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots. The cornerback is set to be one of the primary depth options behind Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe, but he may be called upon to play some safety since Ty Okada's (hamstring) game-day status is in question.
DNP with new injury
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 7:24 PM
Okada (hamstring) did not participate in Sunday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Okada's absence due to injury does not bode well for the strong safety's chances to suit up in Wednesday's NFL opener against the Patriots. With Bud Clark on IR, D'Anthony Bell may get an elevation to the active roster from the practice squad to start or support one of the other defensive backs for Week 1.
Emanuel Wilson
Emanuel Wilson Full practice Sunday
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 6:54 PM
Wilson (hamstring) practiced fully Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson has been a distant third on the RB depth chart behind first-round rookie Jadarian Price and George Holani since the offseason program, and a hamstring injury that was first reported after preseason Week 1 didn't allow Wilson to make any headway for backfield reps to begin the campaign. Now that his health isn't a question, it remains to be seen if Wilson will be a part of the running game during Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots.
Tory Horton
Tory Horton Dealing with hamstring injury
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 6:50 PM
Horton was limited at Sunday's practice due to a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Mike Macdonald relayed on 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.
Limited Sunday
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 6:43 PM
Emmanwori (ankle) was a limited practice participant Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Emmanwori underwent right ankle surgery just before the start of training camp in late July, and while he passed a physical and was activated from the active/PUP list on Aug. 11, his status remained murky just days before a Week 1 matchup with the Patriots. At the beginning of Sunday's session, he was spotted warming up with a helmet at his side, per Corbin K. Smith of SI.com, and Emmanwori eventually mixed into some drills. How Emmanwori fares in practice Monday and Tuesday likely will determine if he's made available for Wednesday's season opener.
Iffy for Week 1
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 9:27 PM
There is uncertainty whether Emmanwori (ankle) will be cleared to play against the Patriots on Wednesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Emmanwori underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery in July, and although he was removed from the PUP list Aug. 11, it's still unclear whether he'll suit up for Seattle's regular-season opener in a Super Bowl LX rematch. The 2025 second-rounder played a key role on the Seahawks' defense last year, and if he's unable to play, then Julian Neal (leg), Avery Smith and Nehemiah Pritchett would all be in line for an elevated workload against New England.
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price In line for Week 1 role
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 5:46 PM
Price didn't play in the preseason, but he's still expected to have a large workload once the regular season kicks off, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks used the 32nd overall pick in the 2026 Draft on Price, seemingly with the intention for him to be in the mix for the No. 1 RB role during Zach Charbonnet's recovery from a January ACL tear. Price handled first-team reps during the offseason program and also at the start of training camp, but he then tended to lower-body soreness, which sidelined him for a week and spurred the team to keep him in street clothes during exhibition season. With a Week 1 matchup with the Patriots just around the corner Wednesday, Price seems primed for lead-runner status, while George Holani will serve as a receiver and in pass-blocking situations. Meanwhile, Emanuel Wilson has been contained to work on the side at recent practices due to a hamstring injury, so it's unclear if he'll be able to contribute in the season opener.
Montorie Foster Jr.
Montorie Foster Jr. One of five WRs to make team for Seahawks
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 2:08 PM
Foster is among the five wide receivers that made Seattle's initial 53-man roster, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foster earned his roster spot with a strong training camp that carried over into a productive preseason, which included a touchdown catch in Seattle's first preseason game. The 25-year-old wide receiver finished the previous season on Seattle's practice squad but has yet to appear in a regular-season game. Foster will likely be limited to a depth role barring injuries to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp or Tory Horton (undisclosed), the last of whom isn't believed to have a long-term injury.
Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed No preseason action
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 10:28 AM
Shaheed didn't see any action during the Seahawks' three-game preseason slate.
Analysis: Starters resting during the preseason has become customary for several teams around the league. Shaheed failed to gel with Sam Darnold after the wide receiver's midseason trade from the Saints, as he produced just 15 catches for 188 yards and no touchdowns across nine regular-season appearances with Seattle. However, the duo spent countless hours over the offseason working on their chemistry, and Shaheed was a standout player during training camp practices. He's locked in as the premier deep threat on the outside for the Seahawks this season and has generated steady buzz as a late-round fantasy pick and an ideal best-ball selection.
AJ Barner
AJ Barner Status quo in Seattle's TE room
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 10:23 AM
Barner sits atop a Seahawks tight end depth chart that's unchanged from last season heading into the 2026 regular season, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks won the Super Bowl last season with a tight end room consisting of Barner, Eric Saubert, Elijah Arroyo and Nick Kallerup, so it's understandable that the team decided not to rock the boat at the position. Arroyo is Barner's primary competition for pass-catching opportunities, as the 2025 second-round pick enjoyed a productive 2026 preseason after a lackluster rookie regular season in which Arroyo posted just 179 receiving yards. Barner led the position group with 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdown receptions on 68 targets during the 2025 regular season.
George Holani
George Holani Set to work as third-down back
Thu, Sep 3, 2026, 10:06 AM
Holani could get most of the opportunities on third down and in passing situations while Jadarian Price gets the majority of early-down work to begin the regular season, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.
Analysis: The Seahawks seem to trust Holani's receiving and pass-blocking abilities, which should allow the 26-year-old running back to earn a prominent role out of the gate, though the rookie first-round pick Price is the leading candidate to get most of the rushing opportunities. Zach Charbonnet (knee) could also earn a sizable role once healthy, but he'll miss at least the first four weeks of the season while on the reserve/PUP list and could be out well beyond then. Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) rounds out the running back depth chart.
Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold Idle for preseason action
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 6:57 PM
Darnold did not participate in any of the Seahawks' three preseason games.
Analysis: Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, AJ Barner and other Seahawks offensive starters observed all three preseason games from the sidelines, with the team seemingly not wanting to risk injury to its top contributors ahead of Week 1 against the Patriots. Darnold's pass catchers are mostly the same as those he threw to during last year's Super Bowl run, though the veteran signal caller is working under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury after Klint Kubiak accepted the Raiders' head coach position. Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker also bolted to Kansas City in free agency, and with Zach Charbonnet (knee) opening the season on the reserve/PUP list, Darnold's top options out of the backfield are rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price and George Holani. Darnold finished the 2025 regular season fifth and seventh in passing yards (4,048) and completion percentage (67.7), respectively, though his 14 interceptions were third-most behind Geno Smith (17) and Tua Tagovailoa (15).
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Not concerned about run game
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 9:31 AM
Smith-Njigba said Tuesday in his appearance on ESPN's "SportsCenter" that rookie running back Jadarian Price had "a great training camp" and will help relieve pressure on the passing game in 2026.
Analysis: After letting Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker walk in free agency, the Seahawks will be counting on Price -- the No. 32 overall pick in April's draft -- as well as George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) to lead the backfield while Zach Charbonnet (knee) is out for at least the first four games of the season. Walker's tough running combined with Charbonnet's skills on passing downs helped ensure that defenses couldn't devote more resources to shutting down Smith-Njigba, who blossomed into arguably the NFL's top wideout in 2025. After taking most of his snaps out of the slot in his first two seasons, Smith-Njigba thrived while transitioning into more of a perimeter role, compiling a massive 119-1,793-10 receiving line over 17 games on his way to winning Offensive Player of the Year honors. A league-high 32.6 percent target share played a part in Smith-Njigba achieving his lofty production, but even if supporting pass catchers such as Rashid Shaheed and AJ Barner are more involved in 2026, Smith-Njigba could avoid a major dip in production if the Seahawks lean more heavily on the passing game as a whole. The Seahawks ranked third in the NFL with a 49.7 percent run rate in 2025, and despite Smith-Njigba's early praise for Price, it would still be surprising if the rookie was trusted right away to handle the sort of workloads that Walker and Charbonnet previously shouldered.
