Seahawks | QB Darnold has 'unusual muscle strain' Thu Sep 10, 08:55 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold suffered an "unusual muscle strain," and Tom Pelissero reports injured reserve is not being considered at this time.
| Footballguys view: Drew Lock is set to start in Week 2 against the Cardinals. At least, he's most likely to start, as there is zero timetable for Darnold. If no IR is being considered, then Darnold could be back within the month. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold expected to miss Week 2 Thu Sep 10, 01:56 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who suffered a hip injury against the New England Patriots Wednesday night, is expected to miss next week's game, but he should be back sooner rather than later, sources say.
| Footballguys view: With 17 days from Wednesday until their Week 3 game against the Washington Commanders, Darnold gets a schedule break as well. Drew Lock should be added in superflex/start-2QB leagues. He will be the starter for the Seahawks while Darnold is out. If things progress as expected, Darnold will be back after only missing a game or two. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold avoided a fracture; will have an MRI on his injured hip Thu Sep 10, 01:22 AM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who injured his hip in the second series of Wednesday night's win over the Patriots, received positive news following a CT scan, and coach Mike Macdonald said doctors ruled out a fracture.
| Footballguys view: Darnold will have an MRI Thursday for more info, but the belief after an X-Ray and CT scan is that Darnold avoided a major injury. We'll follow up after the MRI, but given the lack of clarity on the injury, Macdonald said he didn't know what Darnold's status would be for Seattle's Week 2 matchup against Arizona. Drew Lock took over for Darnold and played well, hitting 16 of 22 for 187 passing yards and 1 TD pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. |

Seahawks | Emmanwori, Horton Questionable vs. Patriots Tue Sep 8, 04:38 PM
The Seahawks list S Nick Emmanwori and WR Tory Horton as questionable for Wednesday vs the Patriots. S Ty Okada is out.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks have been saying very little about Emmanwori's recovery from ankle surgery performed in July. He's been listed as a limited participant in practice and will be a game-time decision Wednesday night. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet is on an aggressive timetable Tue Sep 8, 12:42 AM
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald says RB Zach Charbonnet looks "awesome" in everything he's doing while rehabbing from reconstructive knee surgery in February. Macdonald went on to say Charbonnet looks "dang good."
| Footballguys view: How soon could Charbonnet return? Macdonald wasn't specific, but revealed the RB is on "an aggressive timetable." That doesn't mean Charbonnet is headed back to the lineup soon. Seattle placed him on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, guaranteeing that he will miss at least the first four games of the regular season. That makes Seattle's Week 5 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on October 11 the first game for which Charbonnet could potentially be available. To be clear, Macdonald did not say October 11 is Charbonnet's target. So it's a situation we'll continue to monitor. |

Seahawks | Emmanwori limited coming off ankle surgery Mon Sep 7, 01:10 AM
The Seahawks have been saying very little about safety Nick Emmanwori's recovery from offseason ankle surgery that happened in July. On Sunday, they were required to say one specific thing -- whether and to what extent he practiced. On the first official injury report of the season, Emmanwori was listed as a limited participant due to the ankle.
| Footballguys view: Not practicing on Sunday was safety Ty Okada (hamstring). Limited were guard Anthony Bradford (knee), receiver Tory Horton (hamstring), and tackle Josh Jones (quadriceps). Full participants were tight end A.J. Barner (oblique), cornerback Julian Neal (quadricep), and running back Emmanuel Wilson (hamstring). We'll be watching for more in advance of Wednesday's game against the Patriots. |
Seahawks | Arroyo, Shaheed to have larger roles in new offense Sun Sep 6, 06:18 PM
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com expects to see "a lot of two tight ends on the field" for the Seahawks under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. He said both AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo will be "major" parts of the offense. Fowler also said that he expects Rashid Shaheed to be "more of a complete receiver" in the offense this year, and that he should get more targets this season.
| Footballguys view: Fowler indicated that perhaps Jaxon Smith-Njigba's astronomical 36% target share could go down with Shaheed getting "more of that", and defenses will certainly be trying to force Sam Darnold to look to someone other than Smith-Njigba early in the season. Arroyo has made a lot of strides in his second offseason after the team took him in the second round last year, and he could also help take some heat off of Darnold with his vertical speed and athleticism in the middle of the field while providing a heavier personnel set to benefit the running game, which will be led in Week 1 by rookie Jadarian Price, who Fowler says will be a big factor but won't get 20 carries a game because Seattle likes to use two or three backs. |

Seahawks | TE Barner to do more than expected? Thu Sep 3, 06:17 PM
Andrew Destin, from The Athletic, reports Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner will likely see an uptick in production, as should backup TE Elijah Arroyo this year.
| Footballguys view: As the article notes, new Seahawks OC Brian Fleury worked as the TE coach with the 49ers for four seasons, and the position could be featured more than some think. Barner had multiple offseason surgeries, but he's healthy now and ready to build on his 2025 career-best numbers of 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns. He's a low-end TE2 in non-PPR formats, but the upside is there for Barner to work into more of a high-end TE2 this season. |

Seahawks | How will RB touches be split between Price and Holani? Thu Sep 3, 06:05 PM
Andrew Destin, from The Athletic, suggests the Seattle Seahawks will feature rookie RB Jadarian Price on early downs while RB George Holani plays the third-down, short-yardage and goal-line roles.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are trying to navigate this early-season split for the Seahawks running backs. Zach Charbonnet (PUP, knee) will return later this year from injury, but to begin the season we'll see both Price and Holani featured in different ways. We see Price and Holani as RB3/flex plays with their current roles. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price ready to lead Seahawks' backfield Mon Aug 31, 12:53 PM
Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seattle Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return.
| Footballguys view: Price is the clear-cut No. 1 running back in Seattle, and backing him up will be George Holani, who gained just 73 yards on 22 carries last season, and Emanuel Wilson, a career backup in Green Bay who signed with the Seahawks this offseason. As ProFootballTalk.com suggested, the good news for the Seahawks is that Price got rave reviews in the offseason, with head coach Mike Macdonald saying he was ready for a big workload and quarterback Sam Darnold calling Price a special player. |

Seahawks | George Holani to be mixed in Mon Aug 31, 11:03 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani will be mixed in with RB Jadarian Price in the running game and on third down.
| Footballguys view: Rookie Jadarian Price is ready to lead the Seahawks' backfield while it waits for Zach Charbonnet to return. But ESPN.com's Brady Henderson believes the team will include a heavy dose of Holani, whose receiving and pass-blocking skills seem perfectly suited for third-down work. With a RB64 ADP and 17th-round price, Holani is essentially a free square play. |
Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet to miss start of season Mon Aug 31, 12:24 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list Sunday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet began training camp on the PUP while working his way back from ACL surgery. All indications are that his rehab has gone well, but he was hurt in the divisional round of the playoffs in January and didn't have surgery until late in February. He won't be eligible to play until the Seahawks host the 49ers in Week 5, but a change to the PUP rules this year means he can begin practicing as early as Week 3. Jadarian Price and George Holani will be the team's top two backs until Charbonnet is ready to contribute. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) may be able to avoid the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list if the team believes he will be able to play in a game before Week 5, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Brady Henderson.
| Footballguys view: Any player on the PUP list must miss the first four weeks of the regular season. It sounds like Charbonnet might be ready to get on the field before then. Now, whether or not he's 100 percent healthy at the time is a different story. The Seahawks open the season with Jadarian Price and George Holani as their top backs. |

Seattle Seahawks CBs Noah Igbinoghene and Nehemiah Pritchett are expected to alternate at nickelback in the first half of the preseason game against the Tennessee Titans Sunday, Aug. 23. Defensive coordinator Aden Durde and defensive backs coach Karl Scott are searching for a frontrunner at the third cornerback spot, which has essentially been a starting position in head coach Mike Macdonald's five- and six-defensive backs nickel and dime packages in the base defense across the past two seasons.

Seahawks | Jadarian Price won't play in preseason Sun Aug 23, 02:41 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (leg) will not play in the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 23, against the Tennessee titans, and he is not expected to play in the final preseason game Friday, Aug. 28, against the Kansas City Chiefs, either. He has been limited in practice lately due to what has been termed by head coach Mike Macdonald as 'upper leg soreness'. The coach added, 'He's ramping back. It's not responsible to give him a thousand carries after being down for a minute.'
| Footballguys view: Price has gotten enough endorsements from the coaching staff to expect him to be a lead back for Week 1. It's not clear when Zach Charbonnet will be back from his postseason ACL tear, but the first half of the season in play. Until then, Price will probably be more valuable than Charbonnet or Ken Walker III were when they split the work in the Seahawks backfield last year. |
Seahawks | George Holani works with starters Sat Aug 22, 03:49 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani worked with the first-team offense during practice Friday, Aug. 21, since RB Jadarian Price (undisclosed) is still recovering from soreness.
| Footballguys view: The News Tribune's Gregg Bell reports that Price did not practice on Friday due to "lower-body soreness." The Seahawks play against the Titans on Sunday, and Holani should get the starter's workload. Holani, Emanuel Wilson and Velus Jones will get more work if Price is out of action for their second preseason game. |

Seahawks | Tory Horton to miss time Sat Aug 22, 11:43 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (undisclosed) will be miss some time because of an undisclosed injury, according to head coach Mike MacDonald.
| Footballguys view: MacDonald was asked further about the injury and simply replied, "Sorry, I just don't want to tell you." This might be related to the shin injury that bothered Horton a year ago, or it might be a new situation. Until we get more information about the injury, we'll just take a wait-and-see approach with Horton. When the team traded for Rashid Shaheed last year, it dinged the dynasty value of Horton as he's a similarly skilled player. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price returns to full participation in practice Tue Aug 18, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (upper leg soreness) has reportedly returned to practice on Monday and will still be ramped up for 'unlimited work', according to HC Mike Macdonald on Tuesday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Price had missed the previous five full practices. The 32nd pick in this year's NFL draft from Notre Dame looked as smooth and decisive on his cuts and running with the ball as he did in the first weeks of his first pro training camp, before the injury. Then, Price was coming into the starting offense in scrimmages after third-year veteran George Holani. That was reversed Monday. It was another indication that Price will be the lead back as Seattle drafted him to be on Sept. 9, when the Seahawks host the New England Patriots. |

| Footballguys view: Price's leg issue isn't serious, but the team said he would be only be out a matter of days more than a week ago. George Holani started and got extensive work in the first half, and he should be on your late round target watch list until we see Price return to practice. |
