Heading to Vegas Young is in line to sign with the Raiders, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The wide receiver, who dealt with a quadriceps injury in 2025, caught two passes for 48 yards and no scores across nine regular-season games. Young saw action more often on special teams than offense.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Career year in 2025 Young caught two of three targets for 48 yards and tallied 322 kick-return yards across nine regular-season games in 2025.

Impact The fourth-year pro from Lenoir-Rhyne set career highs in receiving yards and kick-return yards while tying his best reception total, all while appearing in just nine regular-season contests. Young also operated as one of the Seahawks' top special-teamers, logging 156 snaps and tallying nine total tackles during the regular season. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Young could draw interest from teams seeking special-teams help ahead of next season.

Key special-teams play Young recovered a fumble and made a tackle in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.

Impact Young played just one offensive snap as the team's No. 5 wide receiver, but he made a massive play on special teams, recovering a muffed punt in the third quarter. Seahawks WR Jake Bobo caught a 17-yard touchdown pass on the next play. Young has been an outstanding gunner on special teams this season and will look to make a similar impact in the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.

No targets in blowout win Young wasn't targeted in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.

Impact Young worked as the No. 5 wide receiver and logged just 11 offensive snaps. He has received just two targets this season, so his work will be most noticeable on special teams in the NFC Championship Game.

Targeted once in win Young didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

Impact Young logged 11 offensive snaps -- his largest total since Week 3 -- because Rashid Shaheed (concussion) and Cody White (groin) exited the game early and didn't return. The Seahawks face a crucial test in Week 18 with the No. 1 seed on the line against the 49ers, and Young could have a slightly increased role once again if Shaheed and White can't go.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No offensive reps Young didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.

Impact Young missed the last seven games with a quadriceps injury, and his role in Week 16 was limited, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick is the No. 5 wide receiver in the rotation and won't be a dependable option down the stretch.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated for Thursday's game Young has been activated from injured reserve and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's home game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Young has been a full participant at practice throughout Seattle's preparations for Thursday Night Football, so it's unsurprising to see him activated in time to face off against Los Angeles. After having missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, Young will now resume handling a depth role in the team's wide receiver corps.

Poised to return Thursday Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma New...

Impact Young was a full participant in practice for the duration of the Seahawks' Week 16 prep. His lack of an injury designation indicates that he'll play in Thursday's NFC West tilt, but he'll have to be activated from injured reserve first. Young has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury that he sustained in Week 7 against the Texans.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Opens week with full practice Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The Seahawks held a walkthrough to open Week 16 prep, but Young has been a full practice participant since his 21-day practice window opened in early December. The 2022 seventh-rounder has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, but he has a chance to return Thursday against the Rams if he's activated from IR.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Sunday Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Young will miss his seventh straight game due to a quadriceps injury that landed him on injured reserve in early November. He was a full participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but it appears the fourth-year pro will need at least another week before being activated off IR. Young will have another opportunity to return for Seattle's Week 16 matchup against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 18.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another full practice Young (quadriceps) logged a full practice Wednesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Young hasn't suited up since Week 7 but returned to practice last week. He's practiced in full ever since, seemingly setting him up to be activated ahead of Seattle's Week 15 matchup against the Colts.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Week 14 Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Young will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in early November. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a full practice participant during Week 14 prep, but the 2022 seventh-rounder is not quite ready to be activated from IR. Given his ability to practice in full, Young has a good chance to be available for the Seahawks' Week 15 clash against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 14.
