The Seattle Seahawks have a different kind of roster in 2025. Instead of fleet wide receivers, the team kept guys who could block as well as catch. That is probably because Seattle is going to run the ball a lot more.
To do so, though, Seattle needs to stay healthy, both along the offensive line, at tight end, and at wide receiver. That is why the original injury reports for Seattle were a bit scary. The physical receivers the Seahawks kept on the active 53-man roster (Jake Bobo, Dareke Young, and Cody White) were all listed as being limited in practice.
While 12s want all the receivers to be healthy, of course, if only Tory Horton, Cooper Kupp, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were fully healthy entering Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers would be a terrible thing. Only Kupp has proven to be an efficient blocker in the league.
How healthy are the Seattle Seahawks entering Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers?
Here is the bad news, Bobo, who was in concussion protocol due to an injury he suffered in preseason Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, is out. He won't be cleared by Sunday, but at least the issue isn't a long-term one (we hope).
Dareke Young (hamstring) is also out. This leaves the Seahawks with Kupp, JSN, White, and Horton. In other words, two of the three receivers that were kept because of their blocking acumen are out. We might end up seeing a lot of JSN and Kupp and less Horton because he's a rookie who isn't used to the physicality of the NFL.
Edge rusher Uchenna Nwoso is also unsurprisingly out after missing most of the training camp and preseason after coming back from offseason knee surgery. Maybe he will be back before Week 4, but Nwosu missing Week 2 would not be shocking either.
No other players received an injury designation, which means that while Bobo, Nwosu, and Young are out, everyone else is good to play. That is seemingly a good thing. The hope, of course, is that no one else will get hurt in Week 1 versus the San Francisco 49ers (not to jinx anything).
