Cody White Cody White No targets once again
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 9:15 PM
White wasn't targeted in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.
Analysis: White logged just six offensive snaps as the team's No. 4 wide receiver. The Seahawks frequently use two tight ends or a fullback, leaving little opportunity for White to get into the mix. He'll continue to have a limited role in Week 17 versus the Panthers. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Game-winning catch
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 9:13 PM
Saubert wasn't targeted in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams. He caught a two-point conversion in overtime.
Analysis: Saubert's first look was on the last play of the game, when he caught the two-point conversion to seal a crucial win over the Seahawks' division rival. This was a memorable moment, but it has been a slow season for the veteran tight end, as he has been targeted just twice over nine games. |

Rashid Shaheed Rashid Shaheed Turns momentum with return TD
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 10:29 AM
Shaheed didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win over the Rams, but he had a 31-yard run and a 58-yard punt return touchdown.
Analysis: Shaheed made the most of his limited touches. His punt return touchdown provided the first six of Seattle's 16 unanswered points in the final 8:03 of regulation, and Shaheed's 31-yard carry came on the team's next offensive play as the Seahawks found a way to get the speedster in space once again. The Seahawks employ a run-first approach on offense and Sam Darnold usually looks Jaxon Smith-Njigba's way when Seattle turns to the air, leaving limited opportunities for supporting players like Shaheed to contribute. That philosophy has led to a 12-3 record, so it's unlikely to change in Week 17 against the Panthers. |

Cooper Kupp Cooper Kupp Fumbles against former team
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 10:24 AM
Kupp caught three of four targets for 39 yards, lost a fumble and caught a two-point conversion in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win over the Rams.
Analysis: Kupp fumbled at the end of a 17-yard catch late in the first half, but he contributed to Seattle's comeback by securing the first of the Seahawks' three successful two-point conversions, all of which proved pivotal in the one-point win. The former Rams wide receiver continues to work as the distant second option among Seattle's wideouts behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as no other Seahawks wide receiver recorded a catch Thursday, though Rashid Shaheed contributed a punt return touchdown and a 31-yard run. Kupp will face the Panthers in Week 17. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Scratched for Week 16
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 6:20 PM
Bobo (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Bobo has served as a depth option at wide receiver for most of the season, but he has also been a healthy scratch at times. With Dareke Young set to return from a quad injury, Bobo will sit for one of Seattle's biggest games of the season. |

Jalen Milroe Jalen Milroe Remains emergency QB
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 6:16 PM
Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but designated as the emergency third quarterback for Thursday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Milroe has been inactive for every game since Week 6 and will continue in his typical role Thursday. Drew Lock will serve as the backup to Sam Darnold. |

Cam Akers Cam Akers Elevated for TNF
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 4:07 PM
The Seahawks have elevated Akers for Thursday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Akers, who is on his second stint with Seattle's practice squad this season, will be elevated for his first contest with the team. The veteran running back will handle the No. 3 backfilled role behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, and he could continue to do so until such time as George Holani (hamstring) is ready to come off IR. |

Cody White Cody White Full go in Tuesday's walkthrough
Tue, Dec 16, 2025, 8:34 PM
White (abdomen) was a full participant in Seattle's walkthrough Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: White appears to be healthy again after being limited during Monday's walkthrough due to an abdominal injury. The 27-year-old should continue to contribute on special teams while also seeing limited snaps on offense during Thursday's matchup versus the Rams. |

Cody White Cody White Nursing abdominal injury
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 9:23 PM
White (abdomen) was a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: White may have picked up the injury during the Seahawks' 18-16 win over the Colts on Sunday, when he did not record a target while playing nine snaps on offense. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Thursday's NFC West tilt against the Rams. |

Tory Horton Tory Horton Uncertain to return this season
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 5:24 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said "we'll see" when asked Monday whether Horton (shin/groin) will return from IR in 2025, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Horton is technically eligible to return to practice Week 16, but Macdonald said the rookie wideout has still "got some hurdles he's got to get over." Macdonald said "if he gets over them we can get him back," an indication that if Horton is able to get back on the field this year, it may not happen until the end of the regular season or playoffs. If Horton is able to return at some point, he'll stand to contribute behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed. |

Cody White Cody White No targets in win
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 8:10 AM
White wasn't targeted in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: QB Sam Darnold threw the ball 36 times in this game, but White couldn't get into the rotation while playing just nine offensive snaps. The 27-year-old wide receiver has caught three passes for 90 yards and a touchdown over eight games this season. |
|
Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Minimal usage
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 8:07 AM
Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Bobo handled just four offensive snaps as the Seahawks' No. 5 wide receiver. Through nine games this season, Bobo has just two receptions for 20 yards. |
|
Eric Saubert Eric Saubert One target in win
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 7:53 AM
Saubert caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Saubert handled a 36 percent snap share even though rookie TE Elijah Arroyo (knee) is on injured reserve. With just two catches through eight games, it's clear that Saubert is considered a blocking tight end in the Seahawks' system. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner Touchdown drought continues
Mon, Dec 15, 2025, 7:48 AM
Barner caught three of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Barner has been targeted 19 times over the last four weeks, turning in 12 receptions for 107 yards and no touchdowns. After starting the season with four touchdowns through the first five games, Barner has been kept out of the end zone for nine straight contests. The second-year tight end remains the Seahawks' clear No. 1 at the position however, especially with rookie Elijah Arroyo (knee) done for the rest of the regular season. |

Kenneth Walker Kenneth Walker Stymied again in Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 10:38 PM
Walker was held to 17 yards on nine carries while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Walker managed to sink even deeper than last week's sub-30 yard showing against the Falcons by setting a new low in rushing yards in Sunday's win over the Colts. Zach Charbonnet (8-31-0) didn't fare much better in a game that featured no touchdowns for Seattle. That said, Walker's recent struggles could lead to fewer opportunities in the closing weeks if he can't turn things around against the Rams on Thursday Night Football. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Struggles in red zone Sunday
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 9:22 PM
Darnold completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 271 yards while gaining five yards on four carries in Sunday's 18-16 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: Darnold struggled to get Seattle's offense over the hump in the opponent's red zone, resulting in a franchise-record six field goals being scored in Sunday's narrow victory. The 28-year-old didn't leave fantasy managers empty-handed after accruing his highest passing total since Week 11 against the Rams. Darnold will actually face the Rams again in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football. The Seahawks are hoping that their quarterback won't see any ghosts this time around after throwing four interceptions in a losing effort when the NFC West rivals met earlier this season. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Records ninth 100-yard game
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 7:27 PM
Smith-Njigba corralled seven of nine targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba recorded his ninth 100-plus yard game of the season as he continues to terrorize opposing defenses. The 23-year-old currently sits four receptions shy of hitting the 100-catch mark in consecutive seasons. Despite nearly matching last year's total, JSN has already outproduced his sophomore campaign by 411 yards and three touchdowns in three fewer appearances. Smith-Njigba will continue being the focal point of Seattle's offense in an NFC West showdown against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Cleared to play Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:29 PM
Saubert (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Saubert was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the veteran tight end has been cleared to return Sunday from a six-game absence due to a calf injury. With Elijah Arroyo (knee) on injured reserve, Saubert and Nick Kallerup will serve as the backup tight ends behind AJ Barner for Sunday's game. |
|
Robbie Ouzts Robbie Ouzts Healthy scratch Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:24 PM
Ouzts (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Ouzts missed four games earlier in the season due to an ankle injury, but he will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game. Brady Russell will be the lone fullback on the active roster for Week 15. |
|
Jalen Milroe Jalen Milroe Emergency QB for Week 15
Sun, Dec 14, 2025, 2:21 PM
Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Seahawks' emergency third quarterback against the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: As the emergency QB3, Milroe is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock were to leave the game due to illness, injury or ejection. Milroe hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since Week 5 against the Buccaneers. |
