Seahawks | Nick Emmanwori to avoid IR Fri Sep 12, 07:16 PM
Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) will not be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of his ankle injury, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Cody White (Seahawks) was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Friday, Sept. 12.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. S Julian Love (groin) was limited in practice on Friday but is expected to play. LB Ernest Jones (shoulder), LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee), DL Jarran Reed (back), and WR Dareke Young (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
Footballguys view: Aaron Rodgers will likely get to dodge Witherspoon, and Riq Woolen, the Seahawks other long/fast/physical corner, had some major lapses last week. The Seahawks second round pick, Emmanwori, was seen as a potential x-factor who could make splash plays early in the season, so Pittsburgh is lucky to avoid him too. If the pass rush doesn't get home, the Steelers could have some success throwing downfield against the Seahawks. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold dropped back to pass 26 times in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he used play-action just two times. That's a 7.7 percent play-action rate, which was the lowest among all 33 NFL quarterbacks in Week 1. The two times Darnold used play-action, he hit WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 21-yard completion, and he had a 5-yard scramble which led to a first down.
Footballguys view: It would make sense if the Seahawks ran more play-action fakes for Darnold to attack down the field. It's a Klint Kubiak offense, so that should mean tons of play-action passing. Darnold can work in Kubiak's offense, but things were a bit off in Week 1. Let's see if they can clean it up for Week 2 against the Steelers. Fantasy GMs aren't starting Darnold unless they're in start-2 QB leagues (and he's a low-end no2 QB). |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III played just 21 of the team's 52 offensive snaps in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, while RB Zach Charbonnet was on the field for 30 of the 52 snaps. 'We're not tallying reps as the game goes on,' head coach Mike Macdonald said Tuesday, Sept. 9, 'but a lot of it's based on how the game's going and what plays guys run better and things like that.'
Link to storySeattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, and head coach Mike Macondald said the team may consider placing Emmanwori on the Reserve/Injured list.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks LB Ernest Jones logged a tackle for loss among his eight stops and recorded an interception among his two passes defended in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks S Julian Love recorded a team-high 10 tackles, including eight solo stops, and a sack in a 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker rushed 10 times for 20 yards and caught three passes for four yards in a 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet rushed 12 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.
Footballguys view: So the question is, who is the Seahawks' No. 1 running back? Kenneth Walker III got the start, but Charbonnet got most of the work. He out-snapped Walker 29- 20. Walker had 13 touches for 24 yards. As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes, there are reasonable arguments toward this backfield going in either running back's direction. Walker is coming back from injury and could both play better and more once he's healthier. Charbonnet played better this week, which could earn him more playing time going forward. It's something we'll watch closely heading into Seattle's Week 2 tilt with the Steelers. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 28. Head coach Mike Macdonald said the team hopes Horton will be a full participant at some point next week.
Footballguys view: Horton is set to open the season as the #3 receiver if he is healthy enough to play. #4 receiver Jake Bobo is in concussion protocol. It's possible that Dareke Young or Cody White will see snaps at wide receiver in the season opener against the 49ers. |
Free-agent WR Courtney Jackson was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28. The team also released RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad.
Footballguys view: Jackson was impressive for the Broncos this summer in training camp and the preseason. He's a speedy receiver with the ability to be a return man as well. In crazy deep dynasty formats we'll keep an eye on him. |
Free-agent WR Tyrone Broden, RB Damien Martinez, RB Anthony Tyus III, WR Ricky White III and RB Jacardia Wright signed with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Seattle Seahawks WR Ricky White III was waived Tuesday, Aug. 26, according to a source.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Footballguys view: According to Tacoma News Tribune staffer Gregg Bell, the Seahawks tried trading MVS but there were no suitors. The Seahawks signed Valdes-Scantling in March after his brief stint with the Saints, where he had several big plays under current Seahawks coordinator Klint Kubiak. His abilities as a deep threat (despite his notoriously inconsistent hands) were the reason for bringing him on board, especially after the Seahawks traded away DK Metcalf. As SBNation's Mookie Alexander noted, the emergence of fifth-round rookie Tory Horton, who eventually took first-team offensive reps late in camp and in preseason, was a factor here. |

Seattle Seahawks LBs Tyrice Knight (knee) and Uchenna Nwosu (knee) could be ready for the regular season opener. Nwosu is 'on the progression,' head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday, Aug. 25. Knight might be restricted to the number of snaps he plays on defense, but he also is a possibility for the Week 1 opener.

Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (ankle) was doing conditioning drills at practice Monday, Aug. 25, and it is the first time he's been on the field in two weeks. Coach Mike Macdonald 'projected' Horton to be available to practice fully next week. 'Tory...hasn't practiced full. Ramping up to next week,' Macdonald said. 'Projected to practice full sometime next week. So, we'll play it by ear going into the (regular-season opener).'
Link to storySeattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe will likely see snaps during certain situations early in the regular season. 'We're going to have plays in game plans for (Jalen), and he's going to rep those with the 1s,' head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday, Aug. 25.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Jake Bobo (head) is going through the concussion protocol, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.

Seattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe completed 13 of his 24 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown and rushed seven times for 31 yards during the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Saturday, Aug. 23. He was also sacked five times and lost three fumbles.
Footballguys view: Milroe is a long term project and he looked like one in this game. While he's still worth a stash in superflex dynasty leagues, it's harder to picture him getting on the field this season - even if the Seahawks year goes south - after watching this painful performance. |
There is no timetable for the return of Seattle Seahawks OG Christian Haynes (pectoral), according to head coach Mike Macdonald. However, his pectoral injury is not as serious as it initially appeared.

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet is going to have a significant role in the offense, in the opinion of beat writer Brady Henderson. RB Kenneth Walker III's ongoing availability issues and the way Charbonnet continues to impress the organization suggests that Seattle's backfield could be more of a timeshare than a typical starter-backup arrangement.
Footballguys view: Walker was limited during the offseason program because of an ankle injury and has been sidelined for much of camp with a sore foot. Charbonnet can play on all three downs and excel as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Walker is RB16 right now and Charbonnet is RB38 in current ADP. Expect Walker's ADP to fall back and Charbonnet to come up a bit. |
