Impact Collins managed a pair of limited sessions during Week 8 prep as he deals with a groin injury. He was able to gut it out this past Monday against the Saints, but his 40 percent share of the offensive snaps marked his fewest since he began his run of regular work out of the Seahawks backfield back in Week 4. Still, Collins earned 17 touches Monday versus seven combined for Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas in that contest. Assuming Collins is able to suit up this weekend, he again should take on the majority of the looks given to Seattle running backs.

Questionable to face Jags Collins (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Collins was a game-time decision with the same injury last week, ultimately taking 16 carries for 35 yards and one catch for nine yards in a 13-10 loss to the Saints on Monday night. The Seahawks then listed him as a limited practice participant Wednesday and a non-participant Thursday, leaving his status in question for a second straight week. The team did get Rashaad Penny back from IR, but he seemed to all but disappear from the offense Monday after the middle of the third quarter. Even so, Collins finished with only 39 percent snap share, down from 71 and 60 percent the previous two weeks, in part because passing-down specialist Travis Homer also got more work (21 percent). The matchup is far better this week, but it's still a messy backfield, especially with Collins listed as questionable heading into the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. An absence for Collins would have Penny, Homer and DeeJay Dallas as Seattle's backfield options against a weak Jacksonville defense.

No practice Thursday Collins (groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Collins emerged from Week 6 with a groin injury that contained him to one limited session (Saturday) during Week 7 preparations. He proceeded to suit up Monday against the Saints and received the bulk of the touches given to running backs (17 of 24). However, the offensive snaps were spread around liberally, with Collins earning 22 of 56, Rashaad Penny seeing 20 in his first action since Week 1, Travis Homer notching 12 and DeeJay Dallas tallying one. Because Collins experienced a downtick in participation from Wednesday's limited session, his status bears watching Friday to see if he enters the weekend with a designation.

Limited again at practice Collins (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Collins was something of a game-time call ahead of Monday's contest against the Saints, but he got the start and the first touch of the game for the Seahawks. In the end, Seattle spread around the snaps on offense among its running backs, with Collins getting 22 (of 56), Rashaad Penny earning 20, Travis Homer seeing 12 and DeeJay Dallas bringing up the rear with one. Collins continued to dominate the touches in Chris Carson's absence due to a neck injury, recording 17 versus seven combined for Penny, Homer and Dallas. Assuming Collins is healthier for a Week 8 matchup against the Jaguars, he appears to be the favorite for RB reps that matter for fantasy purposes.

Struggles in start Collins (groin) rushed 16 times for 35 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to the Saints.

Impact The Seahawks' backfield has been marred by injuries recently, and Collins was a game-time decision himself despite having the extra day of rest due to Monday Night Football. Perhaps the veteran back wasn't at 100 percent, considering how poorly he performed in a lackluster offensive effort from Seattle. While this performance doesn't inspire confidence, Collins is likely to receive another start -- assuming improved health -- in a favorable matchup against the Jaguars in Week 8 while Chris Carson (neck) remains on IR. That said, he may not get the lion's share of carries like he has been given the recent return of Rashaad Penny (six carries Monday).

OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Collins emerged from Week 6 -- his second game starting his place of Chris Carson (neck) -- with hip and glute injuries. However, on the first Week 7 practice report, he was listed as a non-participant due to a groin issue, which contained him to just one session on the field Saturday. Still, Collins seemingly did enough to be Seattle's lead runner for a third straight outing, but the team is welcoming back another body to the backfield in Rashaad Penny (calf), who was activated from IR earlier Monday. Behind Collins and Penny, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer are the Seahawks' other active running backs.

OCTOBER 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Collins (groin) is listed as active Monday against the Saints.

Impact Collins managed just one limited practice during Week 7 prep due to a groin injury, but there was an expectation from coach Pete Carroll that the running back would be available Monday following Saturday's session, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Indeed, Collins will be out there, but it remains to be seen if he'll retain his customary lead back status from the previous two games in place of Chris Carson (neck), as he handled 35 carries and recorded three catches over those two contests. Seattle activated Rashaad Penny (calf) from injured reserve Monday, and DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer both are active, so Carroll may opt to go with a committee approach out of the backfield if Collins is at all compromised. If not, though, Collins should be the No. 1 running back.

Will likely play Monday Coach Pete Carroll said Collins (groin) "looked good" Saturday and is ready to play Monday night against the Saints, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Collins didn't practice Thursday or Friday, but Carroll appears to believe the running back will be available Monday. With Chris Carson (neck) sidelined the last two weeks, Collins has run 35 times for 148 yards and one touchdown. However, Rashaad Penny (calf) is expected to return from injured reserve and be active for Monday's game, so his presence may cut into the workload that Collins had been receiving over the last two games. DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer also will draw some snaps away from Collins as change-of-pace backs, as they've done of late. The Seahawks will lean heavily on their running game with Russell Wilson (finger) out, but they may have a tough time moving the ball against the Saints' run defense, which has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game (79.0) to opposing offenses.

Questionable for Monday Collins (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Saints, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Collins didn't practice Thursday or Friday but coach Pete Carroll still seemed to hint the veteran back could be available for the primetime contest. While we'll probably have more information regarding Collins' status prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff Monday, Rashaad Penny (calf), who is expected to be activated, along with DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer all could mix in an offense that has lost a bit of luster with Russell Wilson (finger) sidelined.

Spectates for another practice Collins (groin) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll expressed optimism earlier in the week that Collins would be ready to go for Monday's game against the Saints, but the running back's second straight absence from practice doesn't bode well for his chances of avoiding the inactive list. Brady Henderson of ESPN.com suggests that Rashaad Penny (calf), who was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday, would be in line for a big role out of the Seattle backfield if Collins can't play Monday.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is hoping for a run of good health beginning this week

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Doesn't practice after all Collins (groin) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Earlier Thursday, coach Pete Carroll was optimistic about Collins participating in practice, telling Boyle, "He's going to practice today, so that's a good sign." The comment came on the heels of Collins looking "OK" during Thursday's walkthrough, but the running back apparently was unable to mix into any drills on the practice field, individual or otherwise. Fortunately for Collins, he'll have two more chances to do so before the Seahawks make a determination on his potential to play Monday against the Saints. Further down the RB depth chart, there's also optimism that Rashaad Penny (IR/calf) will return to practice soon, but when it comes to healthy bodies DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer are the only backs who can claim such status at the moment.

Impact After posting 98 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown this past Sunday at Pittsburgh in his second consecutive spot start for Chris Carson (neck), Collins came out of the 23-20 loss with hip and glute injuries. Still, Carroll noted at the time that Collins has a chance to not miss any time, and he'd do just that by beginning Week 7 prep with at least a limited showing on the practice field. Elsewhere in the backfield, the Seahawks are slated to have Rashaad Penny (calf) return to practice Thursday, which would open a 21-day window for the team to activate him from IR. As for the healthy bodies, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer could be Seattle's RBs on Monday against the Saints if Collins and Penny are unable to make the requisite progress in their recoveries.

Impact Carroll said that Collins has a shot to play Week 7 versus New Orleans on Monday night, but that his availability can't be guaranteed due to a handful of big hits he sustained Week 6. With Chris Carson (neck) on injured reserve, plenty of touches would be available to the next man up in Seattle's backfield if Collins ends up missing time. Currently, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas are operating behind Collins, but Carroll also said that he expects Rashaad Penny (calf) to resume practicing this week.
