The undrafted wide receiver was a preseason standout who made the Seahawks' 53-man roster but was a healthy scratch in the team's first six games; he was waived to make room for Anthony Bradford's return ahead of Week 7 against Kansas City, but now returns to the practice squad to boost Seattle's wide receiver depth following injuries to Rashid Shaheed and Velus Jones Jr.NegativeDepth ChartOct 24, 2026
Wide receiver waived by the Seahawks in a corresponding move to Bradford's activation. Foster had been a healthy scratch since Week 2 after appearing in Week 1 on special teams only, indicating minimal role and limited offensive involvement. Despite being a notable 'Hard Knocks' feel-good story, he did not secure a roster spot.NegativeDepth ChartOct 24, 2026
Waived to make roster space for Anthony Bradford's activation from injured reserve; move removes receiver from Seahawks depth chart.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr won the roster spot over Cody White after standing out in training camp and 'Hard Knocks,' but has not played in the last two games and hasn't given the Seahawks anything on special teams. His failure to contribute on kick or punt coverage duties has left the team without reserve wide receivers on special teams coverage.NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026
Despite being a Hard Knocks standout and preseason standout, Foster has been a healthy scratch for two games and has played only seven special teams snaps (three punts, four kickoffs) through Week 3, limiting his contribution to the Seahawks' struggling kick coverage unit.NegativeRoleSep 11, 2026

Foster is highlighted by Coach Macdonald in a pre-game meeting showing highlights from the final preseason matchup. He makes the 53-man roster and calls his parents with the good news, crediting his father for being 'so delusional' and helping him believe in the process. Foster is described as one of the stars of the Hard Knocks episode.PositiveDepth ChartAug 31, 2026
Separated himself from Ricky White III and Emmanuel Henderson Jr. throughout camp and preseason at Seattle's bottom-end WR depth chart, securing a roster spot while Cody White was released. Foster's clear separation from competing receivers during evaluation period indicates he won the depth chart battle and will retain his position on the Seahawks active roster.PositiveDepth ChartAug 31, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr., a high-school substitute teacher and real estate agent from Ohio, made the Seahawks' 53-man roster despite late uncertainty about his roster status.PositiveRoleAug 31, 2026
Foster made the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster as the fifth wide receiver after an impressive training camp and preseason with splash plays on offense and special teams work; he can provide route tree depth in limited snaps and replaces special teams value, representing a notable achievement for an undrafted player who was a substitute teacher in Ohio.PositiveDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr.'s roster chances are strengthened with the waiver of Emmanuel Henderson Jr., as the Seahawks' wide receiver depth chart becomes clearer following the emergence of Foster Jr. during the preseason evaluation period.NegativeDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
Foster Jr. was identified as an 11th-hour addition in the Seahawks' 53-man roster projection, suggesting he was a late-stage roster consideration competing for a final spot on the team heading into the regular season.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Foster is projected to make the initial 53-man roster as the fifth wide receiver, but the source cautions 'Foster may not be on the regular season roster the whole year,' suggesting his roster spot is contingent and the WR5 role could be rotational.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
The source expresses uncertainty about whether Montorie Foster Jr has secured a roster spot, noting that every team has their own version of Foster and that fans worry annually about cut players being claimed elsewhere, but this is a recurring roster dynamic.PositiveDepth ChartAug 28, 2026
Wideout Montorie Foster Jr. is the lone preseason standout who has unexpectedly performed at a level where the Seahawks would be foolish to cut him, making him a lock for the 53-man roster and providing context for why Milroe's roster spot remains vulnerable despite the team's need for depth.PositiveRoleAug 28, 2026
Foster should have an inside track to a roster spot and is the best actual wide receiver among the bubble group competing for a fifth or sixth receiver slot; the source cautions against assuming his spot is secured but views him as the leading candidate.PositiveDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Foster is projected to make the 53-man roster at wide receiver, with the source crediting the Jake Bobo injury as a key factor that changed the equation in his favor. Despite pre-snap penalty issues, the source believes Foster has done enough to secure his roster spot.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Foster worked extensively again with five special teams reps including gunner duties and a punt return with Emmanuel Henderson; he nearly caught a diving touchdown in the first half and caught a pass from Jalen Milroe on a 2nd and 20 play. With Jake Bobo's season over, Foster has the inside track to claim the WR5 spot based on his strong preseason performance.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
The wide receiver continued to impress, providing a key block on Jacardia Wright's 69-yard touchdown and later catching a 24-yard gain from Jalen Milroe in the second half.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Foster might be making the Seahawks roster. He narrowly missed out on a diving grab touchdown (one of Lock's only two incomplete passes), had a 24-yard catch in the second half, plus a special teams tackle. The source notes that if Foster is playing special teams, that helps his roster case, though he did have a procedural penalty. Foster had tough odds without Jake Bobo, but Bobo isn't playing this season so that changes the equation.PositiveDepth ChartAug 24, 2026
Bobo's season-ending injury creates a real opportunity for Montorie Foster Jr, one of Seattle's younger receivers, to step forward and compete for a roster spot and depth chart position in the wide receiver room.PositiveBreakoutAug 23, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr has been one of the bright stories throughout camp and preseason. With Jake Bobo out due to knee injury and Tory Horton remaining out, Foster has a clearer path to a potential WR6 role if Cody White bumps up to WR5 to replace Bobo. He had a generally good game versus Dallas, though a procedure penalty and drop in the fourth quarter were not ideal. The source is interested to see if Foster plays any special teams snaps after none last Saturday.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026
Young receiver positioned to compete for 53-man roster spot with injuries to Bobo and Horton creating opportunity in a suddenly thin wide receiver room.PositiveRoleAug 21, 2026
With Tory Horton unavailable and Jake Bobo likely out for the season, Montorie Foster Jr has an opportunity to stake his claim for a roster spot on the Seahawks at a critical midway point of preseason when the wide receiver depth is stretched.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026
Sustained a heat-related injury/cramps during Friday's joint practice with the Tennessee Titans; however, the source indicates this is not a serious concern and there is nothing to worry about on that front.PositiveBreakoutAug 21, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr. has evolved from a feel-good story into a legitimate threat to earn a spot on the Seahawks 53-man roster; he has been turning heads since the start of training camp and became one of the stars of HBO's Hard Knocks, positioning himself as a genuine roster contender entering the joint practice vs. Tennessee.NegativeBreakoutAug 19, 2026
Underdog story fighting for roster spot after being injured and missing most of his first year, then working as substitute teacher and real estate agent, then joining practice squad and Super Bowl team. Made strong impression on teammates and coaches. Sam Darnold praised him as valuable receiving target for Drew Lock and Milroe, expressing how impressed he is with Foster. Grey Zabel was blown away by Foster's moves in training. Caught the only Seahawks touchdown in preseason game versus Cowboys on first drive. Received coaching from player/coach Cooper Kupp on how to improve craft and avoid repeating mistakes. Had overall good game despite some troubles and mistakes.PositiveBreakoutAug 18, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr. has demonstrated significant player development and progress in less than a year with the Seahawks, earning recognition in preseason evaluation coverage for his improvement trajectory.NegativeUsageAug 17, 2026
Foster caught the TD pass from Drew Lock on Seattle's only scoring drive of the preseason opener, but also had a deep ball overthrown by Lock later in the game, showing both connection and accuracy concerns with the backup QB.NegativeDepth ChartAug 17, 2026
Foster played the entire preseason game and led all receivers with 41 snaps, scoring Seattle's only touchdown and leading the team in receptions and yards. However, the source notes he had zero special teams reps, which is ominous for his 53-man roster chances. The source states: 'There is zero chance any WR6 on the squad can get in without playing some special teams,' and retracts its earlier projection of Foster making the team unless his special teams involvement changes.PositiveBreakoutAug 17, 2026
Receiver Montorie Foster Jr. was Seattle's leading receiver with a touchdown in the Seahawks' preseason opener loss to Dallas; the second-year receiver is making a strong case for a roster spot with his continued strong summer performance.PositiveDepth ChartAug 16, 2026
Foster is projected to make the 53-man roster as the sixth wide receiver; the source notes this is not a spur-of-the-moment decision from the preseason game but rather reflects a strong summer, with the most telling aspect being his second-team run over Ricky White III in the Cowboys game.PositiveBreakoutAug 16, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr. was among Seattle's standouts in the preseason opener and scored a touchdown, demonstrating strong performance in the Seahawks' Week 1 game against Dallas.PositiveBreakoutAug 16, 2026
Foster may at least be WR7 on the depth chart after a strong preseason debut. He caught a touchdown on the opening drive, had a nice block on a George Holani run, and was a step away from a big play to start the second half if not for a Drew Lock overthrow. He finished with a team-high five catches for 36 yards and the lone TD, though he did have a bad drop in the fourth quarter. The bad news is WR7 probably doesn't exist on a 53-man roster, but if Foster clears waivers he might be an immediate practice squad re-sign.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026
Caught a touchdown pass from Drew Lock on a great throw-and-catch in the back of the end zone on the Seahawks' opening drive; saw the ball late but still pulled it in for the first touchdown of the night, showing receiving ability in the red zone.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026

Second-year wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. is emerging as a legitimate breakout candidate after strong training camp performance. The source notes 'We've heard the hype surrounding second-year wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr., but man, it could be real,' citing his 'unbelievable grab in the back of the end zone' during practice, positioning him as an early series star candidate.PositiveBreakoutAug 10, 2026
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.PositiveRoleAug 9, 2026
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.PositiveRoleAug 8, 2026
Foster has justified Seattle keeping him on a futures contract after spending all of last year on the practice squad. The source notes he may have a harder road to the active roster but will likely be back on the practice squad again this season, indicating he is competing for a roster spot.NegativeRoleAug 6, 2026
Foster had an inauspicious start to camp by muffing a punt in return drills but showed some bright moments working with the third-team offense and Jalen Milroe; he is competing for the sixth wide receiver spot.PositiveRoleJul 30, 2026
Montorie Foster Jr. went from undrafted free agent to unlikely Super Bowl champion with the Seahawks, receiving a call from the team in December and earning a roster spot on the defending champions.NegativeInjuryJul 26, 2026
