Seahawks | Macdonald believes Lock's oblique strain is minor, Darnold ruled out vs. Raiders Mon Nov 9, 12:46 PM
Seahawks QB Drew Lock is dealing with an oblique strain that head coach Mike Macdonald believes is minor. Macdonald told Seattle Sports 710 ESPN on Monday that tests on Lock's oblique were "good" and the team believes he can start Week 10 against the Raiders, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Macdonald also ruled out QB Sam Darnold for Sunday's game in Las Vegas.
| Footballguys view: Remember, Lock was already working with tendinitis in his throwing elbow. We'll follow up as the week progresses. Jalen Milroe will be standing by if Lock and Darnold are both out. |

Seahawks QB Drew Lock suffered an oblique injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Sunday. Macdonald said it is "up in the air" whether Lock will be available next week against the Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Lock, who completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards, a touchdown, and no turnovers, had also been dealing with severe tendinitis in his throwing elbow. Nonetheless, Lock said he's confident he can play next week if needed. He was filling in for the injured QB Sam Darnold, who is also in danger of missing Seattle's Week 10 game against the Raiders. Darnold could attempt to return for next Sunday's game in Las Vegas, but the Seahawks also know that they have their bye the following week. Jalen Milroe will get the nod if both Darnold and Lock are out next week. |

Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner ran 3 times for 3 yards and a touchdown and also caught 2 passes for 7 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was projected for 5.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 14.0.
| Footballguys view: Per ESPN Research, Barner became only the sixth tight end in NFL history with a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown in the same game. Barner got his first score on a tush-push carry, which has been an unstoppable play for the Seahawks since they began using it last season. Seattle plays the Raiders in Week 10. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is also in jeopardy of missing Seattle's Week 10 game against the Raiders, sources told ESPN. Darnold has a quad injury and also suffered a cracked rib on the second snap of Monday's loss to the Bears. He was called 'week-to-week' but is not going on injured reserve.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock will start Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed on Friday, even though Lock has been dealing with a right elbow injury. Macdonald said Seattle managed Lock's throwing this week out of precaution because of the elbow. QB Sam Darnold (quad) will be out, and second-year QB Jalen Milroe will back up Lock.
| Footballguys view: Lock stepped in for Darnold earlier this season and led wins over the Patriots and Cardinals, throwing four touchdowns with no interceptions and completing 72.9% of his passes. The severe tendinitis Lock has could flare up at any time. Fantasy GMs in deeper leagues can stash Milroe just in case. |
Jalen Milroe player page
Seahawks QB Drew Lock has been battling severe tendinitis in his throwing elbow. Lock looked good in limited practice reps and will start Sunday against the Cardinals in place of the injured Sam Darnold. Lock is set for free agency in March.
| Footballguys view: Lock is battling through this injury, so he's not quite himself in Week 9. That being said, Lock knows how to feed Jaxon Smith-Njigba - and that's a great start for any quarterback with the Seahawks. Jalen Milroe backs up Lock in Week 9, so he's one play away from getting on the field. |

Seahawks DT Leonard Williams will miss Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a stinger, head coach Mike Macdonald announced on Friday. Seattle will also be without QB Sam Darnold (quad), WR Rashid Shaheed (knee), LT Charles Cross (ankle), DE Uchenna Nwosu (ankle) and DE Brandon Pili (back) for the Week 9 matchup.

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Shaheed did not participate in practice on Friday. He also missed Monday night's game against the Bears with the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed has been mostly a non-factor this year, and any beneficiary from his absence will likely be the same. Tory Horton should theoretically get some opportunities in Week 9, but this offense runs through Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the running backs, making all secondary receivers expendable in fantasy. |

Seahawks QB Drew Lock remained a limited participant in practice on Thursday with an elbow injury but is in line to start Sunday against the Cardinals. Lock has been listed as limited on every injury report since Week 6. Head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday that Lock is 'able to throw.'

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 9 against the Cardinals after injuring his quad at the end of Monday night's game against the Bears. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Darnold also suffered a cracked rib when he took a hit on the second snap of that game, which Seattle lost 34-17.
| Footballguys view: Darnold is out for at least Week 9, and Drew Lock is the starter for the Seahawks. He's dealing with an elbow problem, so Seattle may have to play Jalen Milroe if Lock aggravates the injury. Some think Darnold is going to miss more than one game with these injuries. |

Seahawks QB Drew Lock was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday with a right elbow injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald said QB Sam Darnold will be out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a quad injury he suffered late in Monday's game. Lock was the emergency QB for Monday night's game because of the elbow injury.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock is dealing with an elbow injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday. "He's able to throw. How much, we're working through that right now," Macdonald said. Lock is in line to start with QB Sam Darnold out with a quad injury.
| Footballguys view: Lock has been an emergency QB3 for the Seahawks over the last couple of weeks as he deals with this injury. Now, he's thrust into the starting lineup again with Darnold out for at least this week (and perhaps even Week 10). Jalen Milroe will get some work this week as well, but Macdonald had no issue calling Lock the starter on Wednesday. We've got Lock in the QB2 range. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is out for Week 9 against the Cardinals with a quad injury, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Wednesday. Macdonald called Darnold week-to-week, and he is not going on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: The Bears got after Darnold in Week 8, and now he's going to miss at least this week against the Cardinals. We'll see Drew Lock as the starter again, and he's a QB2 option in superflex leagues. |

Seahawks DT Leonard Williams (stinger) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: Williams left Monday night's loss to the Bears in the second half with the stinger. We'll be watching for more. |

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) has a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Tuesday.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 6 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Monday's 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 21.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.8.

Seahawks QB Drew Lock, Seattle's QB2, is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bears after being listed as questionable with a right elbow injury. For the second straight week, Lock will dress as the emergency third quarterback, meaning he can only play if both QB Sam Darnold and QB Jalen Milroe go down. Milroe serves as Darnold's backup.

The Seahawks activated rookie RB Jadarian Price from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Of course, Price's return further complicates an already-complicated backfield. Seattle also gets back RB Zach Charbonnet, who will make his 2026 season debut Monday night. You're likely taking your chances if you rely on either, but it's safe to assume those doing so aren't doing it by choice. |

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was a full participant in practice on Thursday. Charbonnet was ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was close to returning last week, but the team kept him out of action against the Chiefs. This week, Charbonnet is trending to play. Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price is also practicing. With the game against the Bears on Monday, Fantasy GMs won't have clarity until Saturday... and we're hoping things are a bit more clear at the time. |

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Thursday that he doesn't think WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) will practice that day. Shaheed was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chiefs after suffering the knee injury.
| Footballguys view: Early returns are positive about Shaheed's knee injury according to Macdonald. The Seahawks play on Monday night against the Bears, but we may not have clarity on Shaheed's status until Saturday. He's not been much of a factor this year on offense. |

Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price was designated for return to practice on Thursday, as head coach Mike Macdonald said would happen during his Monday press conference. Price, Seattle's first-round pick, has missed four games on injured reserve with a chest injury. Macdonald said it is possible that Price and RB Zach Charbonnet could play in Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears, but no definitive decision on their availability had been made early in the week.
| Footballguys view: Price could be back sooner rather than later as he's coming back from the chest injury that forced him out the minimum four games. With the return of Zach Charbonnet as well, the Seahawks could be using both backs in an RBBC. When both are active, we'll have Price in the flex range from a fantasy perspective. |

The Colts have agreed to trade eight-time Pro Bowl G Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks, a deal NFL Network's Ian Rapoport also reported on Tuesday. Nelson is on an expiring contract, and the Colts opted to get draft capital back now rather than risk losing him in free agency.
| Footballguys view: Seattle is poised to have five compensatory picks in 2027 and will also receive a third-round pick after executive Nolan Teasley became Minnesota's GM, flexibility that has allowed the team to be aggressive in the trade market. |
The Seahawks will open the 21-day practice window for rookie RB Jadarian Price this week, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday. Price has been on injured reserve with a chest injury. There was no word on his status for next Monday night's Week 8 game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: According to CBSSports.com, Seattle will likely make the transaction official Thursday, when the team will hold its first practice ahead of next Monday's game against the Bears. With the 21-day window, the team won't rush a decision on his return. Whenever he's activated, Price could be part of a backfield committee with Zach Charbonnet (knee) -- who appears to be trending toward making his 2026 debut versus Chicago -- and potentially Emanuel Wilson and George Holani. |

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the "early returns are positive" on WR Rashid Shaheed's knee injury, speaking on Seattle Sports radio. Shaheed left Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the injury and did not return.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed had to exit Sunday's win after the first half with the injury. Shaheed is averaging 11.5 yards per punt return and 27.3 yards per kick return so far this season. He's also caught 16 passes for 163 yards and taken four carries for 39 yards with a touchdown. Seattle does have an extra day to prepare, as the club will face the Bears on Monday night in Week 8. |

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet has been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 7 game against the Chiefs. Charbonnet, who is working back from a torn ACL, was activated from the PUP list on Thursday and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
| Footballguys view: Well, so much for the reports this morning that Charbonnet would play a meaningful role in Week 7. He's still less than nine months removed from surgery, but he's expected to return soon. While he's out, expect Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. to split the load. Wilson is the most valuable of the bunch, but all three have very risky floors. |
Zach Charbonnet player page
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was listed as a full participant in practice again on Thursday. It is a positive sign for his chances of making his 2026 debut in Sunday night's Week 7 game against the Chiefs. Charbonnet is returning from ACL surgery on his knee.

The Seahawks placed TE Elijah Arroyo on injured reserve on Thursday. Arroyo will undergo shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the 2026 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday. The second-year tight end hurt his shoulder in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos while trying to recover a Rashid Shaheed fumble, and he finishes the season with one catch for 17 yards.
| Footballguys view: Arroya has the natural talent to be a dangerous receiving weapon in this league, but he's oft-injured and now has another injury to come back from. AJ Barner, Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are the remaining tight ends on the 53-man roster, with Josiah Deguara recently joining the practice squad. |

The Seahawks activated RB Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform list on Thursday. Charbonnet had been on the PUP list recovering from a torn ACL and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since returning.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is going to make his 2026 regular season debut in Week 7 against the Chiefs (and former teammate Kenneth Walker). While Charbonnet may not yet get a full workload, we've got him as a flex play in Week 7. As Charbonnet gets his legs under him and back into football shape, he should move into the RB2 range as per usual. |

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is off the injury report this week after being listed last week with an ankle injury. He still played last Thursday night, catching 12 passes for 134 yards.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was listed as a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since he returned to practice on Oct. 1 following a torn ACL. He had been listed as limited on every injury report from then until Wednesday. Seattle must activate Charbonnet off the PUP list by Thursday, and head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday there was 'a chance' he returns this week.
| Footballguys view: Macdonald said there was a 'good chance' Charbonnet returns in Week 7. The Seahawks have struggled to run the ball this year, and Charbonnet's return is a welcome one for this offense. If Charbonnet plays against the Chiefs in Week 7, Fantasy GMs should be considering him as a flex play (at least). We'll know more about his playing status later in the week, and that could move him into the RB2 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet, who is on the PUP list while recovering from ACL surgery on his knee, must be activated by Thursday. Head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday there is "a chance" Charbonnet returns this week.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list after tearing the ACL in his left knee on his fifth carry in the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. He underwent surgery on Feb. 20. The Seahawks opened his 21-day return-to-practice window on Oct. 1, so he must return to the active roster this week to avoid finishing the season on PUP. Charbonnet ran for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns on 184 carries in the 2025 regular season, while sharing carries with Ken Walker III. We'll be watching this closely. |

The Seahawks will have to activate RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) off the PUP list by Thursday, which will be 21 days after he was designated to return to practice. Seattle only needs to move him from PUP to the 53-man roster by then and does not necessarily have to play him in Sunday night's game against the Chiefs. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday there is 'a chance' Charbonnet returns this week.
