Seahawks | Macdonald expects Jadarian Price return 'sooner-rather-than-later' after Week 7 Fri Oct 16, 12:58 PM
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price must miss at least one more game while on injured reserve, but head coach Mike Macdonald offered an encouraging update on Friday. "We should be looking at a sooner-rather-than-later return after this (upcoming) game," Macdonald said. Price went on IR with an aggravated chest injury on Oct. 3, and Seattle's next game is Week 7 against the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks haven't been able to get much going on the ground with a corps of Emanuel Wilson, George Holani, and Velus Jones Jr. Zach Charbonnet is back at practice, and Price could return soon. That one-two punch in the backfield could help the Seahawks get back on track as they suffer from their current Super Bowl hangover. Price, this year's first-round pick, looked good, despite some ball-security issues. He'll be the lightning to Charbonnet's thunder, and both should provide fantasy utility once healthy. |

Seahawks | Macdonald says 'No. No.' to considering QB change from Darnold Fri Oct 16, 12:44 PM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Friday that he is not considering a change at quarterback, answering "No. No." when asked on Seattle Sports radio. Macdonald said he knows the team has a starting-caliber backup in QB Drew Lock but believes they can find solutions with QB Sam Darnold as their starter.
| Footballguys view: Benching a Super Bowl-winning quarterback after four full games the following season would be unheard of. Darnold hasn't recaptured the magic we saw last year, and he looked especially bad Thursday night, throwing two awful interceptions late in the game. But asking whether he should be benched is just local radio looking for a story. Darnold should start next week against the Chiefs. If he loses a few more games, the team may have to make difficult decisions. But it's too early now to worry about a benching. |

Seahawks | Smith-Njigba catches 12 passes for 134 yards in loss to Broncos Thu Oct 15, 11:35 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 12 passes for 134 yards on 16 targets in Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was projected for 17.2 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 19.4.

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet ruled out for Thursday night at Denver Wed Oct 14, 06:12 PM
The Seahawks ruled out RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) for Thursday night's Week 6 game at Denver. The move was expected, as head coach Mike Macdonald said at the start of the week the team was not planning to play him. Everyone else on Seattle's 53-man roster except LBs Drake Thomas and Chazz Surratt is good to go.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is getting closer to a return, but it's a short week and Seattle is on the road. This week against the Broncos, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, and Robert Henry Jr. get a crack at running the ball. The Seahawks have yet to find much success on the ground this year. That changes when Charbonnet is healthy, but for this week on the road against the Broncos a three-headed RBBC is the play. |

Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba 'good to go' for Thursday at Denver Wed Oct 14, 06:00 PM
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba is good to go for Thursday's Week 6 game at the Broncos. RB Zach Charbonnet, LB Chazz Surratt and LB Drake Thomas are the only Seahawks ruled out, with everyone else, Smith-Njigba included, cleared to play.
| Footballguys view: There's no Pat Surtain II on the other side of the field, so Smith-Njigba could have a field day. The surface could be wet as it's expected to rain before the contest on Thursday night. Even with a wet track, Smith-Njigba is always a set-it-and-forget-it WR1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba was again listed as limited on Seattle's estimated practice report Tuesday. The Seahawks did not practice, so the report was an estimation, as it was Monday, when Smith-Njigba was limited with an ankle issue. Seattle plays the Broncos in Denver on Thursday night.

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet estimated limited, not expected to play Thursday vs. Broncos Mon Oct 12, 04:46 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was estimated as limited on Monday's injury report as he continues working back from a torn ACL suffered in the 2025 postseason. The Seahawks did not practice Monday and released an estimated report ahead of Thursday's Week 6 game at Denver. Head coach Mike Macdonald has said Charbonnet is not expected to play Thursday. The team is approaching two weeks since designating Charbonnet for return, and his practice window closes in about a week and a half.

Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba limited in Monday's practice Mon Oct 12, 04:45 PM
The Seahawks did not hold a practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos, but they estimated receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a limited participant because of an ankle injury.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba stayed in Sunday's loss to the 49ers after having his ankle heavily taped during the first half of the game. He had five catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, but he dropped a third-down pass when the Seahawks were trying to tie or win the game on their final possession. We'll be watching his progress through Thursday's game. |

Seahawks | Seahawks 'not planning' on activating Zach Charbonnet from PUP for Week 6 Sun Oct 11, 09:08 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) is not currently expected to be activated from the PUP list for Week 6, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Macdonald did not completely rule Charbonnet out for Thursday's game at the Broncos, but said that as of now the team is not planning on activating him. With Jadarian Price on IR, Emanuel Wilson is handling the lead role in Seattle's backfield. Wilson is the RB4 over the last two weeks, averaging 21.1 points per game. |

Seahawks | Smith-Njigba catches 5 passes for 102 yards, a touchdown in loss to 49ers Sun Oct 11, 07:46 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba ran 1 time for 16 yards and also caught 5 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was projected for 19.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.3.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba took himself out of the game in the first quarter after taking a hard fall following a catch. He appeared to roll his ankle on the play and returned to action with the ankle heavily wrapped. It didn't appear to slow him down as he surpassed 100 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games. But Smith-Njigba's status will be worth watching this week. The Seahawks have a short turnaround to a Thursday night game against the Broncos. |

Seahawks | George Holani active for Week 5 despite rib, knee injuries Sun Oct 11, 03:02 PM

Seahawks | George Holani questionable for Week 5 with knee, ribs injuries Fri Oct 9, 04:28 PM
Seahawks RB George Holani (knee, ribs) is questionable for Sunday's Week 5 game against the 49ers. Holani was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a ribs injury.
| Footballguys view: Running back injuries are piling up for the Seahawks, who are still without Zach Charbonnet and also down Jadarian Price. If Holani can't go, Velus Jones Jr. and Robert Henry Jr. are next on the depth chart. Jones is a converted wide receiver, and Henry is a rookie who has yet to log an NFL snap. If Holani can't suit up, expect Emanuel Wilson to handle most, if not all, of the touches against the 49ers. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet remains limited, won't play this week Wed Oct 7, 06:46 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) remained limited at practice on Wednesday. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Charbonnet won't play this week against the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet won't play this week, but there's a chance he'll play next week as the Seahawks play on Thursday Night Football against the Broncos in Week 6. He's limited at practice on Wednesday, so we'll see what the team decides about his Week 6 status early next week. Emanuel Wilson leads the Seattle rushing attack for one more week. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price's injury isn't seen as season-ending Tue Oct 6, 02:48 PM
Rookie Jadarian Price will miss at least three more games after he was placed on injured reserve Saturday with a chest injury. During his pregame radio interview on Seattle Sports 710-AM, Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Sunday that while it's not clear how long Price will be sidelined, the team doesn't "see it as a season-ending thing at all."
| Footballguys view: With Price going on IR Saturday, Emanuel Wilson is Seattle's lead back. George Holani, who plays extensively on third down, is RB2. Velus Jones Jr., just signed off the Seahawks' practice squad, is their RB3. Zach Charbonnet, who's on the physically unable to perform list, is also nearing a return from the ACL tear he suffered in last season's playoffs. |

Seahawks | Joe Mixon not signing with Seattle following physical Tue Oct 6, 02:47 PM
The Seahawks decided not to sign veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad after he underwent a physical, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Sources had told ESPN on Monday that the team planned to sign Mixon -- who did not play in 2025 due to a foot injury -- but that it was contingent on passing a physical. Mixon, 30, was released in March by the Houston Texans after spending the entire 2025 season on their non-football injury list. In 2024, he rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors in his first season with Houston. |

Seahawks | Joe Mixon signing with Seahawks after Monday workout Mon Oct 5, 06:10 PM
The Seahawks are signing Joe Mixon after Monday's workout, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: The two-time Pro Bowl running back hasn't played since Jan. 2025. But Mixon, who missed all of last season with a mysterious foot injury, ran for more than 1,000 yards in five of his first eight NFL seasons with the Bengals and the Texans. The Seahawks are in the market for another running back with rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still not ready to return following January ACL surgery. We'll be watching for more. |
Seahawks | Emanuel Wilson plays 60 percent of snaps, Holani 37 percent in win over Chargers Mon Oct 5, 02:30 PM
Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson played 60 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Chargers, with RB George Holani at 37 percent while rookie RB Jadarian Price was out.
| Footballguys view: Wilson turned his work into 21 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, plus three receptions for 39 yards and a receiving touchdown. While the Seahawks are visiting with free-agent RB Joe Mixon, with Price out at least three more weeks on IR, and Zach Charbonnet practicing but not activated, Wilson could have another solid role in Week 5 -- and perhaps beyond. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet (knee) won't play in Week 5 against the 49ers Mon Oct 5, 01:02 PM
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) won't play in Week 5 against the 49ers, head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet was designated to return from the physically unable to perform list last week and began practicing on Thursday. The team has until Oct. 22 to activate him. Meanwhile, FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that the Seahawks were planning to visit with free-agent RB Joe Mixon. Remember, Jadarian Price was placed on IR over the weekend. He's out at least four weeks. Emanuel Wilson worked as lead back against the Chargers and was effective in that role. Expect the former Packer to continue to get the bulk of the work until we get resolution on Charbonnet. |

Seahawks | Wilson runs for 81 yards, two TDs in win over Chargers Sun Oct 4, 07:47 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Emanuel Wilson ran 21 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and also caught 3 passes for 39 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He was projected for 9.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 25.5.
| Footballguys view: Wilson got the nod as the lead back after rookie Jadarian Price was placed on IR. With Price out for at least four games, FOX Sports' Jay Glazer said the team will have Joe Mixon in for a visit. The team also opened Zach Charbonnet's practice window on Oct. 1. They have 21 days to add him to the active roster. But until we see significant changes, Wilson will be of interest to fantasy managers. |

Seahawks | Rookie RB Jadarian Price to IR, out at least four weeks Sat Oct 3, 03:54 PM
The Seahawks are placing first-round pick RB Jadarian Price on injured reserve due to the chest injury he aggravated at practice this week. Price will now miss a minimum of four weeks. He had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
| Footballguys view: Price will miss at least the next four games, including matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs, making the return of Zach Charbonnet, who was designated to return to practice this week, even more meaningful. Charbonnet's status will be something to watch over the next two weeks. Taking Price's place on the roster is Velus Jones Jr., who was signed off the practice squad Saturday afternoon. |

Seahawks | Seahawks RB Jadarian Price will miss Sunday's game Fri Oct 2, 04:39 PM
The Seahawks will face the Chargers without rookie running back Jadarian Price.
| Footballguys view: Price appeared on track to play this week, but aggravated his chest/shoulder injury in practice and will not play. In his absence, George Holani and Emanuel Wilson should split the duties, both garnering RB3 rankings in Week 4. Zach Charbonnet returned to practice this week, and if Price misses extended time, his return could be a huge benefit. We'll wait for more news on Price's injury, but fantasy managers can replace Price in their lineups until then. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price DNP with chest injury Thursday, Charbonnet and Okada return Thu Oct 1, 07:16 PM
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price did not practice on Thursday because of a chest injury, a step back after he was limited on Wednesday. RB Zach Charbonnet returned to practice Thursday after being designated to return from the PUP list. S Ty Okada, who did not practice Wednesday, also returned on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Charbonnet back at practice, the team opened a 21-day window for him to return to the lineup (or get shut down for the year). We'll see if Price can play in Week 4, and this DNP on Thursday is not a great sign. Emanuel Wilson and George Holani would do more if Price can't play (and Charbonnet is not quite ready to return in Week 4). |

Seahawks | Macdonald: Seahawks still trust Jadarian Price; rookie must protect the ball Tue Sep 29, 01:30 AM
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that the team has not lost faith in starting RB Jadarian Price after the rookie first-round pick lost a fumble for the second week in a row on Sunday. Macdonald said Price must "take care of the ball."
| Footballguys view: When Price lost a fumble in a win over Arizona, the Seahawks went right back to him on the first play of their next drive. They didn't show the same patience after Price fumbled at the 11:06 mark of the first quarter of Sunday's loss in Washington. His next carry wasn't until the 12:49 mark of the third quarter, though he was targeted twice in that span. Price (five carries for 15 yards) played 19 of Seattle's 67 offensive snaps, while Emanuel Wilson (nine carries for 14 yards) and George Holani (eight touches for 58 yards) each played 24 snaps. |

Seahawks | Decision on Zach Charbonnet's return to practice coming Tue Sep 29, 01:29 AM
Head coach Mike Macdonald said the Seahawks will decide by Tuesday whether to open Zach Charbonnet's 21-day practice window this week.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet is on the physically unable to perform list after having ACL surgery in February. He has to spend at least one more game on the PUP list, but he has been eligible to begin practicing as of last week. We'll be watching for more. |

Seahawks | Darnold throws for 379 yards, four touchdowns in loss to Commanders Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 31 of 45 passes for 379 yards with 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 16.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.7.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders pass defense is still suspect, but Darnold's pick-six to Kain Medrano was the deciding play in the big upset. Darnold should be a low-end QB1 going forward with the Seahawks running game unable to get any push and first round-pick Jadarian Price stalling out in this game. |

Seahawks | Price held to 15 yards on 5 carries in loss to Commanders Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price ran 5 times for 15 yards, also caught 1 pass for 7 yards on 3 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 10.8 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 0.7.
| Footballguys view: Price was not in at the goal line and appeared to lose the trust of the coaches during this game. It's hard to imagine him getting goal line carries when Zach Charbonnet is back, and maybe even before Charbonnet is back. For now, Price is a what-the-heck flex, but the matchups against the Chargers next week is very good. |

Seahawks | Smith-Njigba catches 10 passes for 128 yards, two touchdowns in loss to Commanders Sun Sep 27, 07:00 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba completed 1 of 1 passes for 14 yards and also caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns on 14 targets in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders. He was projected for 18.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.4.
| Footballguys view: Just a routine day so far this season for a player who is going to test whether a wide receiver can win MVP over a quarterback as long as he stays healthy. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price practices fully Friday, 'ready to go' for Week 3 Fri Sep 25, 04:47 PM
Seahawks RB Jadarian Price, who was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, practiced fully on Friday and is playing in Sunday's game at the Commanders. "He's taken a ton of reps, I'm excited to see him go play," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "He's ready to go."
| Footballguys view: Price has looked ready for NFL action from the start of his career and can be relied on as an RB2 in this week's matchup against the Commanders. He's expected to split some touches with George Holani and Emanuel Wilson, as he has through the first couple of weeks. But Price's role and talent make him the preferred back in fantasy. It doesn't sound like there are any limitations on his workload, so treat him as you would without an injury designation. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold (glute) cleared to play Sunday against Commanders Fri Sep 25, 04:27 PM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) has been cleared to play against the Commanders on Sunday. Darnold had returned to full practice this week.
| Footballguys view: When Darnold exited Week 1's game and was taken via ambulance to a hospital, people assumed the worst. But after missing just a game, Darnold will be back out there on Sunday. Drew Lock filled in formidably for Darnold, helping the reigning Super Bowl champs get off to a 2-0 start. They'll get the Commanders this week, one of the league's worst pass defenses. The offense's low-volume nature keeps Darnold in the QB2 discussion, but his return is a boon for the Seahawks' other weapons. |

Seahawks | Macdonald says Darnold 'on a good track' to return from glute injury Thu Sep 24, 09:26 AM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who has missed most of the first two weeks with a glute injury, returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday. Per ESPN.com, head coach Mike Macdonald said, "I don't know what 'fully healthy' means. I think we'll make a decision at some point before Friday's over. I don't think we'd go into the weekend not knowing if he's going to play. But it's on a good track right now, assuming today goes well." In Darnold's absence, backup QB Drew Lock has completed 35 of 48 passes for 422 yards and four touchdowns, leading Seattle to a 2-0 start against the Patriots and Cardinals.
| Footballguys view: This is the week most thought Darnold would return to the lineup. Darnold was banged up early in Week 1, and Drew Lock has done a good job running the offense in his absence. The team is 2-0, and Darnold is looking to keep them on the winning track. If he plays in Week 3 against the Commanders, Darnold is an option for Fantasy GMs in start-2QB/Superflex leagues. |

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) will participate in practice on Wednesday, September 23, per head coach Mike Macdonald, according to NFL.com's Around The NFL. Darnold will ramp up his participation as the week progresses, and Macdonald expects to have a decision on his availability for Week 3 by Friday.
| Footballguys view: We'll likely see the Seahawks increase Darnold's workload in practice every day, with a decision coming by Friday at the latest. Drew Lock has done a fine job with Darnold out, but it always seemed like Darnold wouldn't be out for more than a week or two when he was first injured in Week 1. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks | Macdonald downplays Jadarian Price's shoulder injury Mon Sep 21, 03:16 PM
Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price left Sunday's win over the Cardinals with an injury, but it doesn't look like he is facing an extended absence from the lineup. Price was said to have a chest injury during the game, and head coach Mike Macdonald was asked about his status during an appearance on Seattle Sports on Monday. Macdonald said the injury is actually in the shoulder area, but that it isn't a source of major concern to the team. "Some technical term for somewhere up in your shoulder, but it's intact," Macdonald said. "Nothing serious, it seems like."
| Footballguys view: Price ran 13 times for 52 yards on Sunday. Emanuel Wilson led the Seahawks with 21 carries for 92 yards. If Price misses time, Wilson and George Holani will share the backfield. The Seahawks play the Commanders in Week 3. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price injures chest; X-rays negative Sun Sep 20, 08:47 PM
The Seattle Seahawks received encouraging news on rookie running back Jadarian Price after he left Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with a chest injury. Price exited during the fourth quarter of Seattle's NFC West matchup at State Farm Stadium. He was evaluated by the Seahawks' medical staff before head coach Mike Macdonald provided an update after the game. Macdonald said Price's X-rays came back negative, giving Seattle some initial relief after the rookie was forced to leave the game.
| Footballguys view: The first-round pick had played a meaningful role before leaving. Price finished with 13 carries for 52 yards and added one reception for eight yards against Arizona. Seattle has also used Emanuel Wilson and George Holani in the backfield. Any absence for Price could lead to a larger workload for both players, depending on his recovery. For now, the negative X-rays give the Seahawks a positive starting point following Price's exit. The team will continue to monitor the chest injury and determine when he is ready to return. |

Seahawks.com reports that WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns, including an 82-yard score on Seattle's second offensive play, in a 31-7 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Starting in place of injured QB Sam Darnold, QB Drew Lock completed 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 139.1 passer rating. RB Emanuel Wilson led Seattle's rushing attack with 21 carries for 91 yards, while RB Jadarian Price added 52 yards on 13 carries before exiting with a chest injury.

Seahawks | QB Sam Darnold ruled out for Week 2 Sat Sep 19, 02:15 AM
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) is listed as out on the Week 2 injury report. Darnold did not participate in Saturday's practice.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Darnold was always likely to miss Week 2, but there's been optimism since he sustained the injury that he could be back within a month. Reports indicate Darnold might also miss Week 3, but if he does, he shouldn't be out much longer than that. We'll see Drew Lock get the start for the Seahawks with Jalen Milroe as the No.2 quarterback. |

| Footballguys view: The team has Drew Lock as their starter while Darnold misses time. This is a short-term injury, and Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald does not anticipate putting the veteran quarterback on Injured Reserve. |
