INJURIES

Full practice Thursday Barner (knee/shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Barner followed up Wednesday's limited session with all activity one day later, clearing him to continue serving as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end. In such a role, he's put together a respectable 37-359-4 line on 46 targets in 12 games to date.

Tending to pair of injuries Barner was limited at practice Wednesday due to knee and shoulder injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Barner paces Seattle's group of tight ends most weeks, clearing an 80 percent snap share eight times in 12 games this season. The results have been more tepid in the box score, as evidenced by a 37-359-4 line on 46 targets on the campaign in an offense that is run-heavy and also has a clear top receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Barner will have two more chances to prove his health this week before Friday's practice report potentially includes a designation for Sunday's contest in Atlanta.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Leading receiver in run-heavy win Barner brought in four of five targets for 35 yards while taking his only carry for two yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Impact Barner finished Sunday's contest as Seattle's leading receiver with the team executing a run-heavy gameplan against Minnesota. The versatile tight end ran another successful variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," marking his ninth rushing attempt of the season. Barner has been a pleasant surprise for those in deeper formats with 37 receptions for 359 yards and five total touchdowns across 12 starts.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Limited impact in Week 12 Barner recorded two receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans.
Impact Barner was one of three players to earn four targets, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba dominated opportunity in the Seattle offense. Both of Barner's catches came on the Seahawks' first possession, and he did help the team get into field-goal range to tie the game at 3-3. He has at least three targets in seven of his last eight games, though he's also been held to 35 yards or less five times in that span.

Seahawks can build on strong defensive showing in loss to Stafford and the Rams

Sam Darnold’s four interceptions and the Seahawks’ failure to convert in the red zone overshadowed another strong performance by Seattle’s defense
NOVEMBER 18 • Associated Press
Far more involvement in Week 11 Barner corralled 10 of 11 targets for 70 yards while taking two carries for one yard in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Rams.
Impact Barner bounced back nicely from a zero-catch effort in Week 10 to post career-best marks in targets, receptions and yardage against the Rams. The sophomore tight end recorded two more carries on Seattle's variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," but only one attempt proved to be successful in the divisional loss. Barner's big game pushed him up to 31 receptions for 306 yards through 10 starts, surpassing his rookie year totals of 30 and 245 respectively.

NOVEMBER 11 • Associated Press
Rushes twice in divisional win Barner rushed twice for three yards but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Cardinals.
Impact The Seahawks threw the ball just 12 times, as they scored 38 points in the first half and benefited from two defensive touchdowns. Thus, Barner failed to secure a target for the first time this season while handling just 23 offensive snaps. He should return to his starting duties in Week 11 versus the Rams.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Active Sunday Barner (calf) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.
Impact Barner followed up back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 10 prep due to a calf injury with a full session Friday, but he still entered the weekend listed as questionable. Despite the designation, he'll be available to a Seahawks offense that'll be down two wide receivers in Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf). As a result, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak could lean more on the team's tight ends in the passing game Sunday.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Looking good for Sunday Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, but he seems likely to play after logging a full practice Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The quick return to full participation confirms that Barner's injury isn't serious, though the Seahawks weren't quite ready to remove him from their injury report. He hasn't missed a game this season and should fill his usual role as the No. 1 tight end, which has resulted in four receiving touchdowns and one rushing score despite averaging just 3.25 targets per game.
NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Listed as questionable Barner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Barner handled his normal workload during Sunday's win over the Commanders, including his first rushing TD of the season on his fourth QB sneak. He also has four receiving touchdowns, but he's averaging just 3.25 targets per game and now has the calf injury as a potential concern. Elijah Arroyo and Nick Kallerup will take on larger roles at tight end if Barner ends up on the inactive listed ahead of a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.
NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Remains limited at practice Barner (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Barner maintained his activity level from Wednesday's walkthrough, giving him just one more chance to prove his health this week before the Seahawks potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Elijah Arroyo (elbow, FP this week) and Nick Kallerup are the healthy tight ends on Seattle's active roster at the moment.
NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Tending to calf issue Barner was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Barner has earned at least an 80 percent snap share in six of eight games this season, but the cumulative results in the box score (21 catches for 236 yards on 26 targets) have been tepid aside from his penchant for getting in the end zone, which he's done four times. He'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in blowout win Barner caught three of four targets for 24 yards and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.
Impact Barner took a direct snap in the third quarter and rushed into the end zone to extend the Seahawks' lead to 38-7. The second-year pro continues to operate as the clear No. 1 tight end, as he played 43 of 51 offensive snaps (84 percent) and finished tied for second on the team in targets. Barner has scored five touchdowns through eight games, but he has averaged just 29.5 receiving yards per game.

NOVEMBER 3 • SEAHAWKS.COM
Held to one catch Barner caught one pass (three targets) for seven yards in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.
Impact There has been little room for targets this season behind lead wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but Barner has served as the top tight end with 18 catches for 212 yards (third on the team) and four touchdowns (tied for first). Barner continues to impress as a blocker and should maintain a high snap count as a result. He needs to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy purposes, though.
