SEATTLE SEAHAWKS NEWS

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Single-digit yardage in win Smith-Njigba brought in three of six targets for nine yards in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Smith-Njigba was held to the second-lowest yardage total of his career by a Falcons defense that has been doing a good job keeping plays in front of it all season. The profoundly disappointing showing followed a relatively encouraging stretch of games for the second-year pro, who'd posted a 32-291-1 line on 47 targets in his previous five games. Given the atypical nature of his numbers Sunday, Smith-Njigba shapes up as a prime candidate for a bounce-back performance against the Bills at home in Week 8, especially if DK Metcalf is limited or sidelined by the knee injury that forced his exit from Sunday's game.

Tyler Lockett - Four grabs in Week 7 win Lockett secured four of six targets for 45 yards in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Lockett tied for the team lead in receptions and for second in targets, but it was a quiet afternoon for the veteran wideout overall. Lockett has been a steady yet similarly unremarkable performer through his first seven games, and he's topped out at five receptions and 75 yards in his last six games. Lockett could be in line for a bigger role in a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills, given the matchup and the fact DK Metcalf exited Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury of to-be-determined severity.

Kenneth Walker III - Strong showing despite illness Walker (illness) rushed 14 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 24 yards and another score in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Walker was a Saturday addition to the injury report due to the illness, but the third-year back didn't display any signs of attrition while helping the Seahawks to a win on his 24th birthday. Walker hit pay dirt twice in a game for the second time this season, recording scoring plays on a 20-yard run and 17-yard reception in the second and third quarters, respectively. The latter play showed off Walker's receiver-like skills, as he managed a picturesque fingertip grab. Walker should have plenty of time to get back to full health ahead of a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills.

Geno Smith - Pair of scoring passes in win Smith completed 18 of 28 passes for 207 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 15 yards...

Impact Smith put together an efficient game in enemy territory, helping secure a key victory for the Seahawks with a turnover-free performance that also featured his first multi-touchdown tally of the campaign. Smith connected with DK Metcalf (31 yards) and Kenneth Walker (17 yards) for the pair of scoring tosses, and he recorded completions to seven different players overall. Smith did see Metcalf get carted off with a knee injury in the fourth quarter, however, so it remains to be seen if he'll have his top target available for a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills.

DK Metcalf - Knee injury not 'too bad' Coach Mike Macdonald said Metcalf "banged his knee a little bit" during Sunday's 34-14 win in Atlanta, but the injury "doesn't look too bad," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official s...

Impact Metcalf exited this Week 7 matchup in the fourth quarter and eventually needed a cart to get to the locker room. Prior to his departure, he reeled in four of seven targets for 99 yards and one touchdown. Considering Macdonald's comments, Metcalf likely isn't in danger of missing any time, but Seattle likely will do its due diligence to ensure the health concern won't impact his availability moving forward.

Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf departs win at Atlanta with knee injury

DK Metcalf - Needs cart to go to locker room Metcalf (knee) was carted to the locker room during Sunday's contest at Atlanta, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact After the Seahawks deemed him questionable to return early in the fourth quarter, Metcalf was seen stretching out the knee in question before heading to the locker room on the cart. Without Metcalf's services, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett will headline the team's passing game, with Jake Bobo, Laviska Shenault and Dareke Young the other options at wide receiver.

DK Metcalf - Hurt knee Sunday Metcalf sustained a knee injury during Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Impact Prior to his exit early in the fourth quarter, Metcalf had hauled in four of seven targets for 99 yards, which was fueled by a 31-yard TD connection with QB Geno Smith. Looks will be up for grabs from Smith for the likes of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett, Jake Bobo, Laviska Shenault and Dareke Young for as long as Metcalf is sidelined.

Trevis Gipson - Scratched for second straight week Gipson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gipson was active for the first five weeks of the season while operating primarily on special teams. However, even with Seattle's linebacker corps dealing with several injuries, he has now been a healthy scratch for consecutive games.

Kenneth Walker III - Active against Atlanta Walker (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker appeared on the injury report Saturday with an undisclosed illness, but he will be on the field for Sunday's matchup. He has been Seattle's lead back this season, though it's unclear if his health will interfere with his usage against Atlanta. Walker will also look to get back to his early-season form, as he's managed only 51 yards on 19 carries combined across the last two games.

Kenneth Walker III - Added to injury report with illness Walker was added to Saturday's injury report with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.

Impact It's reassuring in the sense the Seahawks didn't call up any running back from the practice squad, but obviously fantasy managers need to monitor Walker's status given the sudden addition to the injury report. Should the dynamic 23-year-old miss time, Zach Charbonnet would immediately step in as the primary running back.

OCTOBER 19

Jerrick Reed II - Won't play vs. Atlanta Reed (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Colin Gunther of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Reed opened the season on the reserve/PUP list while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL he suffered in November of 2023. His 21-day practice window opened Monday, and while he was able to finish the week strong with a full practice session Friday, he will not be active for Sunday's game. Given his progression, it wouldn't be surprising if Reed was able to suit up for Week 8 against Buffalo on Oct. 27.

Stone Forsythe - Out for Week 7 Forsythe (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Abraham Lucas (knee, PUP) still out, Forsythe has started all six games at right tackle this season. Veteran George Fant figures to be next in line at the position this Sunday.

Rayshawn Jenkins - Expected to return this season Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Jenkins (hand) is expected to play again this season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact The 30-year-old underwent hand surgery on Oct. 11 and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but Macdonald's comments Friday indicate that Jenkins will likely return at some point this season. The veteran safety will be forced to miss Seattle's next four games after going on IR, with his earlier possible returning coming in Week 12 against the Cardinals. Expect K'Von Wallace to continue serving as the Seahawks' top strong safety until Jenkins returns.
