Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Building rapport with new OC
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 8:37 PM
Darnold and the Seahawks' offense are adjusting to the scheme of new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Darnold enjoyed a productive 2025 season with Klint Kubiak as the offensive coordinator, with the duo playing a key part in the Seahawks' Super Bowl LX win. After Kubiak left for Las Vegas to be the head coach, Seattle brought in Fleury to take over as the offensive coordinator after four years as San Francisco's tight ends coach. Fleury has no experience playing calls, so he and Darnold have used the offseason to work toward full alignment on how to approach each game and series. The Seahawks also lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs in the offseason, but Darnold still has Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as well as Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp and tight end AJ Barner. Darnold and the offense will look to iron out the details in training camp and preseason games before starting their title defense in a Super Bowl rematch against the Patriots on Wednesday, Sept. 9. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Back in action
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 6:55 PM
Bobo (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Bobo missed two weeks with a hamstring issue but is now back in action. The wide receiver's return means Emmanuel Henderson and Cody White will likely be fighting for the final 53-man roster spot, assuming the Seahawks once again keep six wide receivers. Bobo should slot right back into his roles as a key special-teamer and depth option for the offense. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Expected back soon
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 9:28 PM
Price (lower body) didn't practice Saturday, but coach Mike Macdonald said the rookie running back should be back in a matter of days, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Price has missed the past two days of practice due to what Macdonald has called soreness in his lower body, but the head coach suggested Saturday that the issue is minor. That doesn't necessarily mean Price will play in the team's first preseason game next Saturday versus Dallas, but he's expected to be back at practice before then. Price is ticketed for a big role in Seattle's backfield as a rookie, and he could be the team's Week 1 starter at RB if Zach Charbonnet (knee) isn't ready to suit up. |

Clears waivers, reverts to IR
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 6:42 PM
Vaughn (undisclosed) reverted to injured reserve Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Vaughn signed with Seattle on Aug. 1, but he suffered an injury soon thereafter and was waived/injured Friday. Because he wasn't claimed off waivers, the linebacker has reverted to IR. Vaughn will therefore need to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Seattle. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Dealing with lower-body soreness
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 4:34 PM
Price didn't practice Friday due to "lower-body soreness," Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: In the early stages of training camp, Price has been handling first-team reps along with fellow RB George Holani. The breakdown of reps in the Seahawks backfield to start the season remains up in the air with Zach Charbonnet in recovery mode from his January ACL tear and Kenneth Walker now in Kansas City. The team invested a first-round pick in Price back in April, presumably with the expectation that he'd be the lead runner while Charbonnet is sidelined, but Holani and even free-agent pickup Emanuel Wilson also may be a part of game plans Week 1 and beyond. |

Suited up for camp
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 8:12 PM
Finley (knee) is participating at the Seahawks' training camp, Kevin Clark of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Finley spent the 2025 season on Seattle's injured reserve list with a knee injury, but he appears to be back at full strength for training camp. In four games with the Seahawks in 2024, he played 68 total snaps, 62 of which came on special teams. |

Brock Lampe Brock Lampe Signs with Seahawks
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 7:03 PM
Seattle signed Lampe on Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Lampe spent the 2025 season on New England's injured reserve list after going undrafted out of Northern Illinois, and now he'll compete for a roster spot on the team that beat those Patriots in the Super Bowl. At a minimum, he should be able to handle some of the practice reps vacated by 2025 fifth-rounder Robbie Ouzts as he tends to an undisclosed injury. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Dealing with hamstring issue
Thu, Aug 6, 2026, 6:45 PM
Bobo (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's training camp session due to injury, Gregg Bell of thenewstribune.com reports.
Analysis: Bobo has yet to practice this week. The wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury during last Monday's session. There is no update on the 28-year-old's recovery timeline, but his absence makes way for Emmanuel Henderson and Cody White to prove they're worthy of the active roster. |

TJ Harden TJ Harden Signs with Seahawks
Wed, Aug 5, 2026, 6:57 PM
Seattle signed Harden on Wednesday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Just a couple days after being cut by Cleveland, Harden is already getting another chance with a new squad. He's likely a long shot to make the 53-man roster, competing with names like Zach Charbonnet (knee), rookie first-rounder Jadarian Price, George Holani and free agent acquisition Emanuel Wilson. |

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. |
