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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Velus Jones Velus Jones Elevated for third straight
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 6:34 PM
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: This marks Jones' third consecutive elevation. He's worked almost exclusively on special teams, though he did earn four carries in Seattle's blowout win in Week 14. |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo Sidelined until postseason
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 6:20 PM
Arroyo (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Arroyo suffered a knee injury in Week 14 and had already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. He'll now be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, but he will have a chance to return during the postseason. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Potential Week 15 return
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 6:14 PM
Saubert (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Saubert has been sidelined since Week 9 and has been practicing all week. It remains to be seen if he'll be active for a Week 15 matchup against the Colts, as he will officially head into Sunday questionable. Saubert will primarily serve as a blocker and on special teams, if active. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Inks new deal
Sat, Dec 13, 2025, 3:05 PM
The Seahawks signed Saubert (calf) to a one-year contract extension Saturday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Analysis: Saubert joined Seattle on a one-year contract in March after spending the previous campaign with the division-rival 49ers. The veteran tight end has never figured into a significant role as a pass catcher during his 10-year career, and he's now on his ninth team in Seattle. He's been well regarded for his value as a blocker, and that's been the basis of his role with the Seahawks, as he's tallyed just one catch over seven appearances this season. Saubert has been dealing with a calf injury that's kept him on IR over the last six games, and he was designated to return to practice Wednesday. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 3:48 PM
Saubert (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Saubert was placed on injured reserve after suffering a calf injury in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans. The tight end has been working his way back and was able to log enough practice sessions in some capacity to be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. If Saubert can suit up, he will likely slot in as the No. 2 tight end behind 2024 fourth-round pick AJ Barner. |

Tory Horton Tory Horton Likely to miss time beyond minimum
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 3:48 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Horton (shin) recently underwent tests that should shine some light on his timeline to return, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Horton is eligible to return from injured reserve for Week 16, but Macdonald's comments sounded an awful lot like the coach-speak version of saying the rookie won't be ready soon. "It's still a process right now," said Macdonald. "We got some tests going on, not as we speak, but in the last day or two, and that'll be indicative of how fast we can accelerate everything." |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo Ruled out to face Colts
Fri, Dec 12, 2025, 3:10 PM
Arroyo (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Indianapolis, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Arroyo will miss at least one game due to the knee injury he suffered Week 14 against Atlanta. With the rookie second-round pick sidelined, Nick Kallerup will stand to operate as the No. 2 tight end behind AJ Barner. |
|
Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo No practice again
Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 7:06 PM
Arroyo (knee) did not practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: It's not a good sign after the tight end suffered the injury in Seattle's win over Atlanta last week. The Seahawks have one more practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts. Arroyo has 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on the year. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Logs limited session
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 10:32 PM
Saubert (calf) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Saubert last suited up in Week 7 but was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. He returned to the field by logging a limited session, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be activated for Seattle's Week 15 matchup against the Colts. |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo No practice to begin week
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 10:22 PM
Arroyo (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Arroyo suffered the knee injury in Sunday's blowout win over Atlanta, and head coach Mike McDonald has since expressed skepticism that Arroyo would be able to play in Week 15 against the Colts. His inability to suit up at all Wednesday isn't a promising start, but he'll have two additional days to increase his participation. |

Eric Saubert Eric Saubert Practice window opens
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 3:27 PM
The Seahawks announced Wednesday that Saubert (calf) has been designated for return from IR, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Saubert has missed Seattle's last six games due to a lingering calf injury, but he's now ready to resume practicing and will have a 21-day window wherein he can ramp up his activity level without counting against the active roster. The Seahawks can activate him from IR at any point in that span, health permitting. Once ready to return, Saubert will stand to contribute as a depth option at tight end. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner Targeted four times win
Wed, Dec 10, 2025, 5:23 AM
Barner caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Barner continued to operate as the Seahawks No. 1 tight end Sunday, but he was unable to have a major impact in the passing attack. The 23-year-old, while getting consistent targets each week, has been unable to find the end zone since Week 5, limiting his fantasy upside. Barner will have his next opportunity to take a step forward and improve upon his recent weeks' limited production when the Seahawks host the Colts in Week 15. |

Velus Jones Velus Jones Goes back to practice squad
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 8:44 PM
Jones reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Jones was elevated from the practice squad each of the past two weeks. He logged six of 62 offensive snaps Sunday against Tampa Bay and carried four times for 32 yards while also recording 16 snaps on special teams. Jones' offensive work Sunday came entirely in garbage time with the Seahawks holding a big lead, and he doesn't figure to be a big part of the offense in future games for which he's active unless there are injuries ahead of him in the RB pecking order. |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo Status for Week 15 uncertain
Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 8:01 PM
Arroyo (knee) may be forced to miss Sunday's contest against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Arroyo was forced out of the team's 37-9 win over the Falcons in Week 14 due to a knee injury, and head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that "this week's probably in jeopardy," for the tight end. If Arroyo is sidelined for Week 15, Nick Kallerup would stand to operate as the team's No. 2 tight end against Indianapolis. |
