Seahawks | Cam Akers, Velus Jones Jr. activated Sat Jan 24, 04:17 PM
Seattle Seahawks RBs Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr. were elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Jan. 24, ahead of the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: That duo, along with George Holani, who was activated from injured reserve this week, will provide depth behind starter Kenneth Walker III after Zach Charbonnet suffered a season-ending knee injury in last weekend's win over the 49ers. |

Seahawks | Jaxon Smith-Njigba set to play Fri Jan 23, 05:32 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Smith-Njigba's limited participation on Wednesday appears to be nothing more than preferential treatment ahead of a big conference championship game. The Year 2 receiver has broken out in a major way this year and should serve as the Seahawks' primary weapon in a home game against the Rams. |

Seahawks | Cooper Kupp limited Friday Fri Jan 23, 05:27 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (non-injury) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: All signs point to this limited participation being nothing more than some veteran rest. Kupp caught all five of his targets for 60 yards last week, stepping up when the lights are the brightest. He should work as the secondary option in the passing game behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba this week in a revenge game against the Rams. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
| Footballguys view: Darnold played through this injury last week, and there's no expectation he won't again this week. He'll have a tough matchup against a strong Rams' defense, but his upside always keeps him on the radar as a player to watch. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, Jan. 23.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet suffered a significant knee injury last week. He hopes to make a quick recovery, but it's expected he might not be ready for the start of the season. In Charbonnet's absence through the playoffs, Kenneth III will have no competition for meaningful touches. George Holani will likely be active, but the Seahawks should lean heavily on Walker. This offseason, the Seahawks will likely be shaken up, as Walker is a pending free agent. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: There's little doubt that Darnold is going to play in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams. The divisional rivals know each other well and split the season series. So long as Darnold takes care of the ball, Seattle can advance to the Super Bowl. |

Seahawks | Kenneth Walker III could run wild Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III faces the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and in two meetings with the Rams in the regular season, Walker rushed for 167 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries and caught six passes for 108 yards.
| Footballguys view: Walker is a key player for the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. We'll see what the Rams have in store to stop the powerful runner. Without Zach Charbonnet, Walker is going to get a heavy workload on Sunday. |
Seahawks | AJ Barner a secret weapon Thu Jan 22, 12:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner faces the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and Barner recorded 14 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown in the two meetings with the Rams in the regular season.
| Footballguys view: Barner is more accurately described as a not-so-secret weapon. The Rams are going to be ready for the Seahawks aerial attack, and that means they'll have a plan for Barner. |

Seahawks | Sam Darnold to be day-to-day this week Tue Jan 20, 12:04 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) will be day-to-day this week, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. 'Balancing making sure we get enough reps at the proper tempo, with the proper looks, you know, and getting Sam the reps he needs,' Macdonald said Monday, Jan. 19.
| Footballguys view: Darnold, who played through an oblique injury suffered in last Thursday's practice, Macdonald said there were no setbacks. "To my knowledge, he's good," Macdonald said. "He didn't make it worse or anything, but I'm sure he's sore. This is something that we're going to have to navigate the rest of the week." Macdonald said there was almost no doubt that Darnold would play, even on the day the injury happened, both because of the way he responded to the setback and because of the toughness he has shown the team this season. We'll be monitoring Darnold's progress all week. Stay tuned. |

Seahawks | Kenneth Walker III matches franchise record Tue Jan 20, 12:03 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III matched a franchise record with three rushing touchdowns, 116 rushing yards and 19 carries in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: That was the Walker that fantasy investors who landed him last summer expected all season. With Zach Charbonnet suffering a torn ACL against the 49ers, Walker will have ample opportunity against the Rams this week. Walker is currently the only healthy running back on the 53-man roster, but the Seahawks also have veteran backs Velus Jones Jr and Cam Akers on the practice squad. Additionally, George Holani, who has been on injured reserve since late November due to a hamstring injury, could be a candidate to return. However, he has not yet be designated to return to practice. |
Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed in rare club Tue Jan 20, 12:02 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed had a 95-yard kickoff return for touchdown to open the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers to open the game.
| Footballguys view: It was just the third postseason kickoff return for touchdown in franchise history, and only the 28th kickoff return for touchdown in a playoff game in NFL history. |
Seahawks | Cam Akers, Velus Jones Jr. could see larger roles Mon Jan 19, 10:32 PM

'I think we'll just let this play out this week,' Macdonald said, as the team scrambles to find a replacement for RB Zach Charbonnet (knee).

Link to story Seahawks | Torn ACL for Zach Charbonnet Mon Jan 19, 01:03 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a significant knee injury during the Divisional Round playoff game and will need to undergo surgery, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
| Footballguys view: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the injury is a torn ACL. That makes sense. While Macdonald didn't reveal the exact nature of the injury, he said Charbonnet would face "a long road back," potentially hinting at the running back missing time next season. Throughout the regular season, Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker combined to give the Seahawks a fearsome rushing attack. The team ranked 10th in the NFL with 2,096 rushing yards in 2025. Walker led the way with 1,027 yards, but Charbonnet was the hammer, scoring 12 of the team's 19 rushing scores. |

Seahawks | Seattle cruises to NFC title game Sat Jan 17, 10:35 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 12 of his 17 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown in a 41-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round. RB Kenneth Walker III rushed 19 times for 106 yards and three touchdowns and caught three passes for 29 yards. WR Cooper Kupp caught five passes for a team-high 60 yards, and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had three grabs for 19 yards and a score. WR Rashid Shaheed gained 27 yards on two carries, and he returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. TE AJ Barner was not targeted, but he did have a two-yard carry. LB Ernest Jones IV had six tackles and an interception, and DL Leonard Williams and DL DeMarcus Lawrence both recorded a sack.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks scored on the first play of the game when Rashid Shaheed return the kickoff for a score, and they were up 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. It just got worse from there for the 49ers. The Seahawks pass offense didn't have to break a sweat, so it wasn't a big statistical game for Sam Darnold, but Ken Walker dominated a banged up 49ers defense and Darnold didn't show ill effects from the oblique injury he suffered during the practice last week. The Seahawks will host the NFC title game next week. |

'He's a possibility about coming back for this game.'
