Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. made the initial 53-man roster, capturing an emotional moment on a video call with his parents at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center dock overlooking Lake Washington. The source highlighted Foster as a breakout figure from Hard Knocks early on, with his roster achievement serving as a perfect conclusion to his story arc on the series.PositiveRoleSep 1, 2026
Foster made the Seahawks' initial 53-man active roster as one of five receivers after an undrafted free agent journey marked by a hamstring injury in August 2025, a four-month absence from football, and a late-season call-up in December when Cody White was placed on injured reserve. General manager John Schneider said: 'It's hard to remember a player at the receiver position that has improved as quickly as he has.' Foster caught a TD against Dallas and led the Seahawks with seven receptions for 73 yards in three preseason games, also working as a kickoff and punt returner.PositiveBreakoutAug 30, 2026
Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. made the 53-man roster as a surprise, having been a preseason standout. He led the Seahawks in receiving during the preseason with seven receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown, earning his spot after not being expected to make the roster when camp began.NegativeDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Foster's roster status is uncertain; the biggest question is whether he did enough to get on the roster or if the Seahawks will take the risk that he would get through waivers, though the projection guesses he makes it.NegativeRoleAug 27, 2026
Wide receiver Montorie Foster Jr. has an opportunity to lock down a roster spot in the preseason finale against Kansas City, particularly with Jake Bobo now out. A strong performance could secure his place on the 53-man roster.PositiveRoleAug 26, 2026
Wide receiver could benefit from Jake Bobo's torn ACL injury. Foster nearly made a spectacular catch in the game against the Titans and drew praise from wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson for a key block on Jacardia Wright's 69-yard touchdown run. Jackson told Foster, 'This is how you go get a (expletive) job, Montorie. You put it on tape every time like that,' indicating the coaching staff values his effort and blocking ability.PositiveRoleAug 25, 2026
With Jake Bobo's knee injury opening a roster spot at wide receiver, Montorie Foster Jr. now has an opportunity to find his way onto the 53-man roster when cuts are made this weekend. Wide receiver was previously seen as a locked-in position before Bobo's injury.NegativeUsageAug 24, 2026
Star of the first preseason game against Dallas had one catch for 24 yards on three targets against Tennessee. Missed a diving catch in the end zone that would have been a 27-yard TD from Lock. Had a good block to spring Jacardia Wright on his 69-yard TD run and was credited with tackles after the first two kickoffs. Called for a false start for the second straight week; may still need to do more to prove worthy of a 53-man roster spot.PositiveUsageAug 24, 2026
Receiver Montorie Foster Jr. provided a key block for Jacardia Wright's 69-yard touchdown run in the first quarter against Tennessee. Foster Jr. also was targeted by Jalen Milroe in the second half, though that pass was intercepted by Tennessee linebacker Anthony Hill Jr.NegativeRoleAug 22, 2026
One of the two most obvious candidates to take a roster spot after Jake Bobo's season-ending knee injury; figures to get snaps Sunday to make his case.PositiveBreakoutAug 22, 2026
Second-year undrafted free agent out of Michigan State has been the surprise of camp, rising steadily up the depth chart by consistently making plays in practice; had team-high five receptions for 36 yards in last week's preseason opener. Appears to be a clear leader for the fifth receiver spot alongside Cody White, with unquestionable future on practice squad at minimum; could play too well for Seattle to get him through waivers, potentially forcing a decision between White and Foster or carrying six receivers.NegativeRoleAug 21, 2026
Second-year receiver who was not on the Seahawks' roster most of last season but was signed in December and re-signed in January; has been a surprise player in camp and would have a legitimate shot to make the 53-man roster with injuries to Bobo and Horton opening opportunities in the receiving rotation.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Foster is a backup receiver competing for roster spots in preseason after being released during last year's camp due to injury. His unique path includes substitute teaching and real estate sales before returning to football. The source notes he is working with veteran Cooper Kupp in his position group and is among fringe roster players pushing to make the 53-man group with under two weeks until cutdown day.PositiveUsageAug 19, 2026
With Tory Horton out, receiver Montorie Foster Jr. got work in the receiving rotation with both the first-team and second-team offense. He had a highlight play with a one-handed grab with his left hand in the end zone after getting just a step behind safety Bud Clark.PositiveRoleAug 18, 2026
Receiver Montorie Foster Jr. worked in the regular six-man receiving rotation with the starting offense on Monday, filling in for Tory Horton who did not practice due to undisclosed issues.PositiveUsageAug 16, 2026
Foster Jr. was the target of a well-placed throw from Drew Lock on third-and-goal at the 5 for a touchdown. He was also targeted on a deep route down the sideline on third down that was incomplete but might have gone for a TD, showing he's getting meaningful opportunities in the passing game.PositiveBreakoutAug 16, 2026
Foster has been a surprise player of training camp after being released last season due to hamstring injury and signing to the practice squad Dec. 30; caught a 5-yard TD on a tight-window dart from Lock under coverage, had a team-high five receptions for 36 yards, and nearly had a 68-yard touchdown when Lock overthrew him after Foster broke open with a double-move down the sideline; also dropped a pass and committed an offsides penalty, but the overall performance 'will further open some eyes.'PositiveBreakoutAug 10, 2026
Foster Jr., a rookie free agent a year ago who didn't arrive until Dec. 30, has maybe been the surprise player of camp; however, the Seahawks could gamble that he would pass through waivers and then re-sign him to the practice squad, as there are always a lot of receivers who suddenly hit the market at cutdown time.PositiveBreakoutAug 9, 2026
Second-year receiver Montorie Foster Jr., who joined the team on Dec. 30 after being waived during training camp due to a hamstring injury, has been a standout performer throughout the last week of camp and at Fan Fest. He beat rookie cornerback Andre Fuller for an easy TD in one-on-one work, made a big gain adjusting on a pass from Jalen Milroe, and caught another pass from Milroe to set up a TD for the No. 3 offense. Coach Macdonald noted Foster is doing great work for himself, and A.J. Finley called him electric, saying he makes a play almost every day.PositiveUsageJul 30, 2026
In practice, Foster has looked sharp and caught a clutch touchdown in one drill with teammates celebrating him, followed by a 30-yard reception. He is fully committed to all aspects of the team and has embraced mentoring undrafted rookies and practice squad players in his same draft year.PositiveRoleJul 30, 2026
Foster, an undrafted free agent signed to the practice squad before last season's playoffs, earned a Super Bowl ring despite minimal career earnings ($13,000) and a hamstring injury that led to his release during training camp. He has returned for the current season and is playing all three receiver positions in camp, feeling he is a 'level ahead' from last year after focusing on body care, hydration, and sleep management.PositiveRoleJul 30, 2026
Foster, an undrafted free agent signed after impressing at Seahawks rookie minicamp in May, was released Aug. 7 during training camp due to a hamstring tweak but was recalled to the practice squad before the playoffs. He earned a Super Bowl ring despite $13,000 in career earnings and is now in training camp playing all three receiver positions, feeling "a level ahead" from last year after focusing on body care, hydration, and sleep.
