SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 6-5 · 1ST IN NFC WEST
6-5 · 1ST IN NFC WEST
Dre'Mont Jones - Returns to field Jones (hamstring) returned to practice Monday Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.
Impact Jones was sidelined for over two weeks with the injury, first missing practice July 27. The Ohio State product is expected to move to the outside permanently in 2024, but his return to practice is expected to give the Seahawks a chance to better evaluate how he fits into the defense in his expected role.

Zach Charbonnet - Dealing with tightness Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Charbonnet (undisclosed) did not practice due to tightness, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Charbonnet's availability for Saturday's exhibition game against the Titans could be impacted by his current issue with tightness, but it doesn't sound like the second-year running back is dealing with anything that should sideline him long. Kenny McIntosh will get a chance to step into the No. 2 role behind Kenneth Walker if Charbonnet has to miss practice for any amount of time.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Lockett - Managing leg injury Coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Lockett is dealing with a leg injury, but that the issue isn't too serious, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lockett's leg injury may impact his availability for Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, but it doesn't appear that the issue is severe. If Lockett misses any time, second-year pro Jaxon Smith-Njigba will have a clear path to monopolizing the No. 2 wide receiver role behind DK Metcalf.

Drake Thomas - Comes off PUP list Seattle activated Thomas (knee) from its active/PUP list Monday after he passed a physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Thomas finally appears to be fully recovered from the knee injury he sustained during Week 9 of last season. Now he'll have an outside chance to earn a spot on the Seahawks' final 53-man roster for the 2024 season.

Seahawks hoping addition of Connor Williams at center will solidify offensive line

Geno Smith - Not expected to suit up vs. Titans Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Seattle's starters, Smith included, aren't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle...
Impact Macdonald looks set to hold the Seahawks' starting units out of a second straight exhibition matchup, as Smith also didn't suit up Aug. 10 against the Chargers. Instead, Macdonald stressed that the starters will get plenty of reps during joint practices with Tennessee, which will be fully padded. Smith dealt with hip and knee injuries earlier in training camp but has been a full participant at practice as of late.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Two catches in preseason opener Smith-Njigba brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Seahawks' 16-3 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.
Impact The second-year wideout operated as the de facto No. 1 receiver for spot starter Sam Howell with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf both held out. Both of Smith-Njigba's catches came on the Seahawks' third possession, and looking ahead to the 2024 regular season, the 2023 first-round pick could make a serious push to overtake Lockett for No. 2 receiver duties after posting a solid 63-628-4 line across 17 regular-season games as a rookie.
AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Charbonnet - Two touches in preseason opener Charbonnet rushed twice for six yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 16-3 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.
Impact Charbonnet drew the start with Kenneth Walker sitting out and was featured on the opening possession, logging a one-yard gain on the Seahawks' first play from scrimmage before drawing a target and recording a five-yard run on consecutive plays later in the drive. Charbonnet appears set to fill a complementary role alongside Walker once again to open the season, one that afforded him 141 touches across 454 snaps from scrimmage over 16 regular-season games in his rookie 2023 campaign.

Sam Howell directs 2 scoring drives as Seahawks beat Chargers 16-3 to spoil Jim Harbaugh's debut

Sam Howell - Plenty of time in preseason opener Howell completed 16 of 27 passes for 130 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and rushed four times for 17 yards in the Seahawks' 16-3 preseason win over the Chargers on S...
Impact Howell drew the start with Geno Smith a healthy scratch, and the offseason arrival played until just the halfway point of the third quarter. The 2022 fifth-round pick of the Commanders led two first-half touchdown drives and also spearheaded a 14-play, 84-yard march on his last possession that ended on downs at the Chargers' two-yard line. It was a relatively solid in-game Seahawks debut for Howell, who seems to have a clear advantage over journeyman PJ Walker for the No. 2 quarterback job heading into Seattle's second preseason game next Saturday night at Tennessee.

Matt Gotel - Reverts to IR Gotel reverted to the Seahawks' injured reserve Saturday after clearing waivers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Gotel was waived/injured by the Seahawks on Friday due to a high-ankle sprain. The 25-year-old defensive tackle will now be forced to sit out for all of 2024 unless he reaches an injury settlement with Seattle.
AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Fant - To resume practicing next week Fant (foot) likely will return to practice next week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Fant made an early exit from Tuesday's session due to a foot injury, which presumably will keep him out for Saturday's preseason game at the Chargers. With Fant sidelined this weekend, Pharaoh Brown, Tyler Mabry and Brady Russell are next up for TE reps in the Seahawks offense.

Geno Smith - Unlikely to play Saturday Smith isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason contest at the Chargers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Smith has tended to hip and knee injuries during training camp, so it's no surprise that coach Mike Macdonald will delay what may be just a cameo for the first-team offense during exhibition season. In two campaigns as the Seahawks' starting quarterback, he's averaged 247.1 passing yards per game while accruing a 50:20 TD:INT across 32 regular-season contests.
AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE
Marcus Simms - Shifts to injured reserve Simms (undisclosed) reverted to the Seahawks' injured reserve Thursday after clearing waivers, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact Simms caught on with the Seahawks in July after playing in the UFL with the Michigan Panthers. The 26-year-old wide receiver was let go by Seattle on Wednesday with an unspecified injury designation, and since he was unclaimed off waivers, he will now be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

Joshua Onujiogu - Shifts to IR Onujiogu (undisclosed) reverted to Seattle's injured reserve Wednesday after going unclaimed on waivers, per the NFL's transaction log.
Impact It's unclear what injury Onujiogu is dealing with at the moment, but he'll be forced to miss the entire 2024 season after reverting to IR, unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Seahawks.
