Signs tender with Seattle Russell signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Russell was initially tendered by Seattle early March, and his return for a third season with the Seahawks now becomes official. Throughout his first two years with the team Russell cemented himself as a consistent contributor on special teams, though he's yet to record his first catch or emerge as more than a reserve option on offense.

Staying with Seahawks Seattle tendered Russell on Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Russell was a regular fixture on Seattle's special teams unit in 2024, leading the team in special teams tackles (10) despite missing the last four games of the season due to a nagging foot injury. He figures to play a similar role in 2025.

MARCH 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Done for 2024 The Seahawks placed Russell (foot) on injured reserve Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Russell missed Seattle's last three games due to a foot injury, and his placement on injured reserve will rule him out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams. The 26-year-old tight end mostly played on special teams this season and failed to record a catch across 11 games.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Russell (foot) has been ruled out for Seattle's matchup versus the Bears on Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russell will miss his third straight game and fifth total of the season as he continues to battle a foot injury. The Seahawks will continue to rely on Noah Fant, Pharaoh Brown and AJ Barner as their top options at tight end.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice The Seahawks listed Russell (foot) as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russell has sat out the Seahawks' last two games and hasn't practiced in any fashion thus far during Week 17 prep. The reserve tight end looks to be trending toward another absence Thursday, when the Seahawks face the Bears in Chicago.

DECEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Sunday Russell (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The Colorado product is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday due to a foot injury. Russell has played just 33 offensive snaps over 11 appearances this season, so his absence won't significantly alter Seattle's offensive game plan. Expect the Seahawks' tight end room to consist of Noah Fant, AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown in Week 16.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 15 Russell (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Noah Fant, A.J. Barner and Pharaoh Brown will handle tight end duties for Seattle versus Green Bay. Russell has played just 33 offensive snaps this season, but he hasn't been targeted in the pass game.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Able to suit up Week 13 Russell (foot) is not among Seattle's inactives for Sunday's contest against the Jets.

Impact Russell logged an LP/DNP/FP practice progression this week and came into Sunday deemed questionable to play. He'll ultimately be able to suit up, though it's likely Russell's work will come mostly on special teams, as usual, especially with three healthy tight ends ahead of him on the depth chart. Russell has logged only 31 offensive snaps versus 190 special teams snaps over nine contests on the campaign.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 13 Russell (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Russell went from limited Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, but he managed to practice Friday without restrictions. Given his rocky practice participation this week, Russell's status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Seahawks announce their inactives approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Downgrades to DNP on Thursday Russell (foot) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Russell has been sidelined for the Seahawks' last two regular-season games due to a foot injury. He returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, but he wasn't able to participate in Thursday's session. He'll have to practice Friday in order to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Jets.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open week Russell (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Russell missed the Seahawks' last two games due to a foot injury. Wednesday was his first practice since the injury, and he'll have two more chances this week to increase his participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. Russell has mostly played on special teams and has not registered a target across nine regular-season games.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 12 Russell (foot) is out for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Seahawks' No. 4 tight end, Russell has played a total of 32 offensive snaps this season, seeing another 193 on special teams. He hasn't been targeted on offense.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP to open week Russell (foot) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russell was unable to play in Week 11 against the 49ers due to a foot injury, which appears to still be bothering him as he was unable to practice Wednesday. The 26-year-old tight end will have an opportunity to return to practice Thursday and Friday to give himself a shot at suiting up against Arizona on Sunday. Russell has mostly served on special teams and has not registered a target over nine regular-season games this year.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Russell (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Following Seattle's Week 10 bye, Russell logged back-to-back DNPs due to a foot issue, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined in Week 11. With both Russell and Noah Fant (groin) ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup, expect AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown to serve as the Seahawks' top two tight ends

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Week 3 Russell (shoulder) practiced in full Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with Miami, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Russell sat out Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder issue before logging a limited session Thursday. The tight end was able to return to full practice participation Friday and thus doesn't have an injury designation heading into the weekend. Though he seems set to suit up Sunday, Russell isn't likely to be a major factor in Seattle's offense since he has logged just 10 offensive snaps through two weeks. Most of his work (50 snaps) has come on special teams.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited Thursday Russell (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Russell opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday. His participation in Friday's session will provide a better indication of his status for Week 3 against the Dolphins. Russell has primarily operated on special teams over the first two games of the regular season, and while he is listed as the Seahawks' fourth tight end on the depth chart, he could see more action Sunday if Noah Fant (toe) and/or Pharaoh Brown (foot) cannot play.
