Field Gulls

Charles could make a push for the final wide receiver roster spot if he shows his gunner ability in the preseason; his special teams contribution is a key factor in the tight receiver depth chart decision.

Kallerup is projected to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster as one of four tight ends kept; the source notes it seems too risky to let go of a solid blocking tight end like Kallerup given the NFL's heavy personnel set trend and Fleury's tight end usage.

Saubert is projected to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster as one of four tight ends kept; the source notes it seems too risky to let go of a solid blocking tight end like Saubert given the NFL's heavy personnel set trend and Fleury's tight end usage.

Arroyo is projected to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster as one of four tight ends kept, reflecting OC Brian Fleury's heavy use of the tight end position and the NFL's trend toward heavy personnel sets.

Barner is projected to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster as one of four tight ends kept, reflecting OC Brian Fleury's heavy use of the tight end position and the NFL's trend toward heavy personnel sets.

Ouzts' injury is described as a tough one; if he remains out for much longer, he may enter roster bubble territory. He is currently projected to make the roster, but his status depends on injury clarity and the Seahawks' continued use of the fullback position under OC Brian Fleury.

Jones is an intriguing name to watch due to his flexibility to play wide receiver and in the return game; the source projects him to be cut but expects he should survive waivers and make it to the practice squad.

Wilson is projected as a lock to make the Seahawks' 53-man roster at running back alongside Price and Holani.

Positive injury news has emerged for Charbonnet, though the source projects he will land on PUP rather than the active roster to avoid rushing his return and wasting a roster spot on an already difficult roster to cut down.

Milroe's preseason performance will be the biggest thing to monitor for the Seahawks' QB room; he could play well enough to become a trade target for other teams, though strong play might also convince Seattle to keep him on the roster.

Ranked #17 overall and WR3 by Bleacher Report in the 'All-Pro Ability' tier. The source notes that JSN comes in as the highest ranked Seahawk on B/R's list, to nobody's surprise. JSN's 2025 campaign won him the offensive player of the year award and set franchise records: 1,793 yards and 119 receptions; fastest Seahawk receiver to 1,000 yards (in just nine games); most 100-yard games in a season in franchise history (nine); broke the single-season receiving yard record by nearly 500 yards; and broke his own record for most receptions in a season. The source emphasizes that the craziest thing about all of that is that it won't be surprising to see him break all of those again in 2026, calling him a walking hall-of-famer.

Ranked #111 overall and QB15 by Bleacher Report in the 'High-quality starter' tier. The source notes that ranking quarterbacks is always a dangerous task, and that there have been offseason rankings showing Darnold all over the place, with B/R placing him as the 15th best quarterback as a safe way out.

Ranked #231 overall and TE19 by Bleacher Report in the 'Critical Roster Piece' tier. The source expresses strong criticism, stating that Barner being the 19th best tight end is 'criminally under ranked' and notes that the Seahawks being regularly underrated in rankings comes up a lot.

Ranked #271 overall and WR36 by Bleacher Report in the 'Critical Roster Piece' tier. The source calls Shaheed a tough one to rank considering his 2025 campaign was full of splashy plays mostly on special teams, but notes he should be in for a better offensive campaign in 2026 now that he has a full offseason with Sam Darnold.

Ranked #320 overall and WR43 by Bleacher Report. The source notes that Kupp coming in as the 43rd best receiver would place him as a WR3 on a team, but importantly, word out of training camp is that he is in for a potentially big 2026 campaign.

Ranked #481 overall and FB4 by Bleacher Report in the 'Reliable Contributor' tier. The source hopes Ouzts can get healthy so he can get himself higher on the list next season.

Ranked #770 overall and TE63 by Bleacher Report. The source finds it eye-opening that Arroyo is ranked this high considering his low stats from 2025, but notes that word out of training camp is that he is in for an impressive 2026 campaign.

Ranked #786 overall and RB50 by Bleacher Report. The source expresses interest in how much Charbonnet will contribute after returning from injury, and personally believes that if given the opportunity to be a sole starting running back rather than in a committee, he would be ranked much higher on many lists.

Ranked #835 overall and WR116 by Bleacher Report. The source is pleased to see Horton getting recognition despite an injury-plagued second half of 2025, and believes based on his rookie campaign that he should be ranked higher than tight end Elijah Arroyo.

Ranked #890 overall and RB64 by Bleacher Report. The source calls it a fun ranking and notes it will be interesting to see how Wilson plays into the running back snap count this season.

Ranked #937 overall and FB7 by Bleacher Report. The source finds it fascinating that Russell got ranked, noting that B/R's reasoning had nothing to do with his special teams ability, and speculates whether the recent Robbie Ouzts injury could open an opportunity for Russell to play more offensive snaps.

Kyle Shanahan denied that Ricky Pearsall's PCL injury was a factor in bringing Deebo Samuel back to the 49ers, indicating the signing was made on independent merits rather than as a direct response to injury at the receiver position.

Robbie Ouzts remains sidelined, and his status is being discussed by Seahawks coaches Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury as a factor impacting the team's plans at the fullback position. His absence creates uncertainty about the fullback role for the 2026 season.

Montorie Foster Jr. is highlighted as the Seahawks' biggest camp surprise, relishing a second chance with the team. The headline emphasizes his versatility with the quote 'I Can Do Everything,' suggesting he is emerging as a notable contributor in the 2026 preseason.

According to Mike Sando's annual quarterback tiers list, Sam Darnold is ranked only 14th among NFL quarterbacks; in Jeremy Fowler's poll of scouts, executives, and coaches, he received only an honorable mention. The source's headline suggests Darnold is not being given enough respect in quarterback rankings, implying his market valuation is too low relative to his actual ability.

Lampe practiced and had some nice reps, and is being considered as a candidate for the fullback role in Brian Fleury's offense.

Russell is likely too small for a fullback role in Brian Fleury's offense, though he is being considered as a candidate for that position.

Ouzts was seen on the sideline but there was no update on his status. The source notes that a fullback will likely be part of Brian Fleury's offense, and Ouzts is one of the candidates for that role.

Holani had at least one explosive run during the practice session, contributing to the running game's overall explosiveness.

Henderson caught a lovely back-shoulder throw from Jalen Milroe against Michael Dansby during 1-on-1 work, demonstrating his receiving ability.

Foster continues his excellent camp, catching a long, lofted 45+ yard touchdown from Jalen Milroe during 1-on-1 work with the third-team offense.

Milroe got the 1-on-1 work and had highlights playing with the third-team offense, including a long, lofted 45+ yard touchdown to Montorie Foster Jr and a 25-yard scramble showcasing his speed. During 1-on-1 battles, Milroe had most (if not all) of the passing responsibilities, throwing to Elijah Arroyo near the goal line and a lovely back-shoulder throw to Emmanuel Henderson Jr against Michael Dansby. The source notes that slowly but surely, Milroe is developing.
