AJ Barner AJ Barner Nine targets in loss
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 11:00 PM
Barner caught 5-of-9 targets for 69 yards in the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: Barner saw an intense target share in Sunday's contest, picking up the slack for the Seahawks' offense. The Commanders' defense relentlessly prioritized Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the game developed, leaving Barner to see plenty of attention in a losing effort. |

Jason Myers Jason Myers Hits 57-yard field goal
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:09 PM
Myers made his only field-goal attempt, a 57 yarder, and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The veteran kicker remains perfect on the season, having now connected on all four field-goal tries and all nine extra-point attempts. The Seahawks are not doing much settling, but they are scoring, so Myers is getting enough chances to remain a strong fantasy play. |

Cooper Kupp Cooper Kupp Late touchdown in high-scoring battle
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 9:53 PM
Kupp caught four of five targets for 46 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Kupp was able to take advantage of the return of quarterback Sam Darnold in Week 3, connecting with Darnold for a seven-yard score with 2:55 left in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver doubled his season total in targets Sunday, and he has now caught eight of 10 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown over three games so far in his second season with Seattle. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price May be falling into committee
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 6:34 PM
Price carried the ball five times for 15 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The Seahawks' running game continues to struggle, and Price's inability to make a consistent impact is causing him to lose touches. After seeing double-digit carries in each of his first two NFL games, the rookie's six touches trailed both Emanuel Wilson (nine carries) and George Holani (three totes and five catches). The chest injury Price suffered in Week 2 may have played a role in that distribution, but he hadn't topped 60 scrimmage yards or found the end zone in either of the first two weeks. With Zach Charbonnet (knee) getting closer to his 2026 debut, time may be running out for Price to establish himself in the lead role before the backfield gets even more crowded. He'll try to get going in a Week 4 home tilt against the Chargers. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Another massive performance Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 6:25 PM
Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 14 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Having Sam Darnold back under center instead of Drew Lock did nothing to slow Smith-Njigba's momentum. The superstar wideout recorded his third straight game with more than 120 receiving yards while hauling in his fifth and sixth TDs of the season, catching a one-yard toss in the second quarter and an 11-yard strike in the fourth. Smith-Njigba will take an eye-popping 27-405-6 line on 36 targets into a Week 4 clash at home against the Chargers. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Tosses four TDs in return to lineup
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 6:21 PM
Darnold completed 31 of 45 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders. He added five yards on his only carry.
Analysis: Making his return from a Week 1 soft-tissue injury, Darnold put up big numbers against a shaky Washington defense as he connected for two scores with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and one each to Cooper Kupp and Eric Saubert. However, Darnold's two INTs both came in the second half and led directly to 14 points for the Commanders, including a 50-yard pick-six by third-string linebacker Kain Medrano that proved to be the game-winning score. Darnold will look to clean things up in a Week 4 home tilt against the Chargers. |

Returns to Sunday's game
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 1:41 PM
Emmanwori (hamstring) returned to Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Emmanwori exited the contest due to a hamstring injury. but he's returned in relatively short order. With Emmanwori back in the equation, Julian Neal, Maxen Hook and Nehemiah Pritchett will likely log fewer snaps the rest of the way. |

Questionable to return Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 1:19 PM
Emmanwori is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders due to a hamstring injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Emmanwori was expected to work in a larger role Sunday after having his snaps limited in Week 2 against the Cardinals in his first game back from offseason ankle injury. He's now working through a new issue, and while he's being evaluated by medical staff, the Seahawks will need to turn to the likes of Julian Neal, Maxen Hook and Nehemiah Pritchett to step into larger roles in the secondary, given that Ty Okada (hamstring) and Julian Love (calf) are both inactive. |

Montorie Foster Jr. Montorie Foster Jr. Inactive against Commanders
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:46 AM
Foster (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.
Analysis: Foster will be inactive for the second consecutive week. His next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 4 versus the Chargers. |

Jalen Milroe Jalen Milroe Emergency QB for Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:40 AM
Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Sam Darnold (glute) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Commanders, meaning Drew Lock will move back to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Despite being inactive for Week 3, Milroe could still see the field if both Darnold and Lock exit the game due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Won't play against Washington
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:36 AM
Pili (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Pili drew the questionable tag for Sunday after ending Week 3 prep with back-to-back limited practices. He has not progressed enough in the league's concussion protocol to play against Washington, and his next chance to take the field is Week 4 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 4. Rylie Mills and Mike Morris are both in line to see a slight bump in defensive snaps due to Pili's absence. |

Velus Jones Jr. Velus Jones Jr. Elevated to active roster
Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 4:11 PM
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Jones was elevated for the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Patriots, playing 17 snaps on special teams and none on offense. With Jadarian Price, Emanuel Wilson and George Holani all healthy and active, Jones will likely fulfill a similar role as a special teams ace in Sunday's game against the Commanders. |

Won't suit up Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:01 PM
Okada (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Okada has not practiced since suffering a hamstring issue in the lead-up to the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Patriots. AJ Finley will likely start at strong safety opposite Rodney Thomas at free safety, who is filling in for Julian Love (calf). With both starters out, coach Mike MacDonald will likely lean even more heavily on star slot cornerback Nick Emmanwori. |

Won't play Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 6:56 PM
Love (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Love had his calf tighten up on him during Thursday's practice, and the safety was unable to get back on the field for Friday's session. With Love ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, Rodney Thomas is set to start at free safety opposite AJ Finley at strong safety. Both defensive backs are filling in, leaving the back end of Seattle's defensive unit weaker for Week 3. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Remaining as RB2 for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 6:31 PM
Wilson will be the Seahawks' RB2 for Sunday's game against the Commanders after Jadarian Price (chest) was cleared to play, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson ended up logging 21 carries for 92 yards during the Seahawks' Week 2 win over the Cardinals, with most of those touches coming after Price left the game in the fourth quarter due to a chest injury. Price has been cleared to play against Washington, so Wilson and George Holani will provide backfield depth for Sunday's road tilt. |

George Holani George Holani Ready for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 6:05 PM
Holani (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Washington.
Analysis: The same can be said for No. 1 RB Jadarian Price, who capped Week 3 prep with a full practice Friday after being limited the previous two days due to a chest injury that he sustained this past Sunday in Arizona. Holani thus will be behind Price and likely even Emanuel Wilson in the Seahawks backfield this weekend, a role that so far has yielded 13 touches for 45 yards from scrimmage through two games to begin the campaign. |

Drew Lock Drew Lock Returning to No. 2 role
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 5:54 PM
Lock will return to a backup role for Sunday's game at Washington after coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Sam Darnold (glute) is "going to play," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: After Darnold suffered a right glute injury on Seattle's first possession of the season Week 1 against the Patriots, Lock directed the offense for the next seven-plus quarters, leading the team to two victories while completing 35 of 48 passes (73 percent) for 422 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushing twice for 13 yards. With Darnold back in action this weekend, though, Lock's time as the starter is over for now. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet May practice next week
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 3:50 PM
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Charbonnet (knee) returning to practice next week is potentially "on the table," Corbin Smith of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Charbonnet sits on the reserve/PUP list due to the left ACL tear he suffered in the divisional round on Jan. 17, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the season. However, new rules for players on reserve/PUP allow players to practice as soon as Week 3 with the potential to return Week 5. If Charbonnet gets back on the practice field during Week 4 prep, he conceivably could return to action the next week, though the Seahawks likely will take a cautious approach considering the severity of the aforementioned injury. |

Jadarian Price Jadarian Price Ready for Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 3:44 PM
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Price (shoulder) received "a ton of reps" in practice this week and will be "full go" Sunday in Washington, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Macdonald may be overstating how much work Price was able to handle in practice this week considering the rookie running back was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but a full practice Friday has him in the clear for Sunday's contest after he left the Seahawks' Week 2 win at Arizona due to a chest injury. Through the first two games of his career, Price has turned 26 touches into 118 yards from scrimmage, but he's still awaiting his initial end-zone visit. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Returning to action Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 3:35 PM
Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Darnold (glute) is "going to play" Sunday at Washington, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Darnold thus will miss only seven-plus quarters after initial reports indicated that he could be out up to one month due to the right glute injury he picked up in the Seahawks' Week 1 victory against the Patriots. Considering he logged a full practice Thursday, he'll supplant Drew Lock in the starting lineup this weekend, looking to build upon his one completion on two pass attempts for 13 yards so far this season. |
