Team news: Seattle Seahawks | Page 1

Dolphins WRs Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle (knee) are both questionable for Sunday vs. Cleveland.

Related Players: Malik Washington, River Cracraft, Jonnu Smith

Waddle feels like the more likely candidate to miss, but it's been reported that Tyreek has been playing through ailments through most of the season. Consider Hill a WR2 if he suits up.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) was limited in practice today and is now questionable for Sunday vs. San Francisco.

WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful.

We're assuming Hill will be fine by kickoff, but it's definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on. He's currently projected as a WR2, with Jonnu Smith possibly absorbing even more work with Waddle unlikely to see the field.

Seahawks with about as clean of an injury report as there could be with only three players declared out, no one else given a game designation. That means Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet are all good to go.

Looks like we're back to the typical RB rotation in Seattle, but we would bet that Charbonnet gets more run than the early season. Consider Walker and Charbs respective RB2 and RB3s.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle and Dee Eskridge are both DOUBTFUL.

Smith has basically been operating as the No. 2 pass-catcher for the Dolphins over the past couple of months, so this could end up pushing him into double-digit target rate, making him a top-5 option (if he wasn't already). Tyreek stays in the WR2 range, while the other ancillary options can be ignored.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith, who left Sunday night’s game versus Green Bay with a knee injury, was listed as a full participant in today’s practice.

Things are looking for Geno ahead of Week 16, which is a boon to the entire offense. We'll keep an eye on his status leading up to the weekend.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith suffered a knee injury in the second half of Sunday night's 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers and did not return.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters after the loss that it appeared Smith's knee was structurally OK, but the extent of the injury was unclear. Smith will undergo further evaluation on Monday.

"I'll tell you this, this guy's probably the toughest player I've been around," Macdonald said of Smith. "(It was) severe enough for him not to come back in the game. We'll do all the tests tomorrow and kind of figure it out as we go. Right now, structurally it looks like it's OK. We'll get him imaged and all that stuff."

The story said Smith wanted to go back in but couldn't and would eventually give way to Howell. The Seahawks host the Vikings in Week 16 in a later Sunday game. Owners will need to monitor Smith this week. It's not great news that it was severe enough that he couldn't go back in the game, so his status for Week 16 is very much in doubt. Howell was just 5 for 14 for 24 yards and an INT. He was also sacked four times in his limited play.

Sam Darnold has played well enough to leave the Vikings more open-minded about their 2025 plans than many realize, according to sources familiar with the Vikings' thinking. They have not ruled out offering him a contract for next season, despite widespread assumptions they will let him sign elsewhere in free agency and hand the job to J.J. McCarthy, who has spent his rookie season recovering from a torn meniscus in his right knee.

The story added the Vikings have also prepared to move on from Darnold, especially if he receives a more lucrative offer from another QB-needy team. Darnold agreed to wear a modified camera on his helmet during practices and walk-throughs to help McCarthy during his recovery process, the story said. McCarthy uses the video to simulate practice reps via virtual reality. The Vikings also signed Jones, who was released by the Giants, to their practice squad last month, a move widely viewed as an early look at a potential candidate to replace Darnold next season as the veteran alongside McCarthy.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
