Placed on IR
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 8:32 PM
Jean-Charles (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official website reports.
Analysis: Jean-Charles recorded one tackle in Saturday's 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys, but he is now set to miss the entirety of the 2026 season while recovering from an undisclosed injury. The cornerback will have to reach an injury settlement with the Seahawks in order to have a chance to play this year. |

Julian Hicks Julian Hicks Signs deal with Seattle
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 6:16 PM
Hicks and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Hicks has spent the entirety of the offseason as a free agent, but he has now found an opportunity before the end of the preseason. The wide receiver will look to make his preseason debut with Seattle on Sunday night against the Titans. |

Anthony Hankerson Anthony Hankerson Inks deal with Seattle
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 6:11 PM
Hankerson and the Seahawks agreed on a contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Hankerson was let go by the Dolphins on Aug. 10, and after clearing waivers, he has now found a new home with Seattle. The running back will have a chance to play in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Titans. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Full practice Monday
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 5:08 PM
Price (lower body) participated fully in Monday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Condotta did note that the practice was a non-contact session, but Price worked fully and saw reps with the first-team offense Monday, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, which puts the running back in a position to be available for Sunday's preseason game against the Titans. The Seahawks rested their key healthy skill players in this past Saturday's exhibition opener against the Cowboys. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) trending toward missing time out of the gate this season, Price is primed for a key role in a Seattle backfield that also includes George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring). The team's unofficial depth chart currently lists Holani ahead of Price (listed second) and Wilson (third), but even if Holani sees his share of touches come Week 1, Price -- the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft -- remains the upside play in fantasy terms, given that he also figures to earn a decent portion of the workload once the team's regular-season slate opens Wednesday, Sept. 9 versus the Patriots. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Primed to participate Monday
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 3:56 PM
Price (lower body) was present at the start of Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Since Price initially missed practice Aug. 8 due to lower-body soreness, the extent of his activity has been work in walkthroughs, and he ended up sitting out Saturday's preseason game versus the Cowboys. It's unclear how much the rookie first-round pick will be able to handle Monday, but his presence generally is a good sign that he's progressing well in his recovery. Fellow RB Zach Charbonnet remains on the active/PUP list due to the ACL tear that he suffered in January and is likely to move to the reserve version of that list to kick off the regular season, and Emanuel Wilson sat out Saturday's contest due to a hamstring issue. As a result, George Holani has been handling most of the first-team backfield reps of late, with Velus Jones, Jacardia Wright and newcomer Anthony Hankerson the other healthy options at the position. |

Montorie Foster Jr. Montorie Foster Jr. Shines in preseason opener
Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 9:03 PM
Foster caught five of seven targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys, building on what has been a strong performance in training camp, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Foster had a five-yard touchdown catch and almost added a 68-yard touchdown to his stat line Saturday, but Drew Lock overthrew an open Foster down the sideline in a game during which the Seahawks rested most of their starters. Foster's strong preseason debut could help him in his quest to secure a depth role in a Seattle wide receiver room that also includes Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton, Jake Bobo and Emmanuel Henderson. The 25-year-old Foster will look to keep building momentum in Seattle's second preseason game against the Titans on Aug. 23. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Sidelined by short-term hamstring injury
Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 7:49 PM
Wilson (hamstring) sat out Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Wilson is managing what is believed to be a short-term hamstring injury. Both Wilson and Jadarian Price (lower body) are expected to be available for the start of the regular season, which may not be the case for Zach Charbonnet (knee). Even is Charbonnet isn't ready to begin the season, Wilson appears likely to cede the majority of backfield opportunities to George Holani and Price. Wilson's next chance to see preseason action will be Aug. 23 at Tennessee. |

Rashid Shaheed Rashid Shaheed Rested in Week 1 of preseason
Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 7:42 PM
Shaheed didn't suit up for Saturday's 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Shaheed was among the numerous Seahawks starters that sat out the preseason opener. Montorie Foster took advantage of his expanded role with five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown Saturday. Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains the undisputed No. 1 wide receiver for the Seahawks, while Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton, Jake Bobo and possibly Foster or Emmanuel Henderson will compete for targets behind JSN. Shaheed is also projected to maintain his role as the primary return man on special teams. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner Not used in preseason opener
Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 7:36 PM
Barner was rested for Seattle's 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday.
Analysis: Most of Seattle's starters sat out Saturday's preseason opener, with Barner among them. Backup TEs Elijah Arroyo, Nick Vannet and Nick Kallerup each had one catch Saturday, and Eric Saubert is also competing for a roster spot at the position. Barner seems entrenched atop the depth chart on the heels of a sophomore regular season in which he caught 52 of 68 targets for 519 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions, though Arroyo was a second-round pick in 2025 and is hoping to earn a larger role in his second season, much like Barner did a year ago. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet Remains in recovery mode
Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 2:52 PM
Charbonnet (knee) remains on the active/PUP list as the Seahawks' second preseason contest (Aug. 23 versus the Titans) approaches.
Analysis: Since placing Charbonnet (who unsurprisingly was on Seattle's 'did not play' list in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys) on the PUP list July 22, the Seahawks haven't offered a concrete update on when the running back might return to practice. However, given that surgery to repair the torn ACL Charbonnet sustained during last season's playoffs didn't occur until Feb. 20, it's reasonable to expect Charbonnet will remain sidelined out of the gate once the team's regular-season slate commences. In that scenario, fellow RBs Jadarian Price (lower body), George Holani and Emanuel Wilson (hamstring) would be in line to see added opportunities early on this season. Seattle's unofficial depth chart currently lists Holani ahead of Price (listed second) and Wilson (third), and while Holani figures to see his share of touches come Week 1, Price - the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft - remains the upside play in fantasy terms and should also claim a decent portion of the workload, provided he can get (and stay) healthy before then. |

Jason Myers Jason Myers Misses field goal in preseason opener
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 10:53 PM
Myers missed his only field-goal attempt from 45 yards out and made his only extra-point try in the Seahawks' 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday.
Analysis: The veteran kicker's miss went wide right late in the first half at the end of a 15-play march. Myers is coming off a 2025 regular season where he recorded new career highs in made field goals (41) and field-goal attempts (48), and he also tied a career best with nine makes from 50-plus yards. Despite Saturday's miss, Myers is fully expected to serve as Seattle's placekicker again this season. |

George Holani George Holani Solid with double-digit touches
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 10:24 PM
Holani rushed 12 times for 42 yards in the Seahawks' 17-7 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday.
Analysis: Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price (lower body) did not suit up Saturday, paving the way for Holani's start. The third-year pro finished with team-high figures in rush attempts and rushing yardage, further cementing his status as a top complementary option behind Price and Zach Charbonnet (PUP-knee). Holani could play a key role early in the season given Charbonnet's projected lack of availability, so it remains to be seen how heavily he'll be utilized in a road preseason matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Aug. 23. |

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. |
