Dareke Young - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Limited in practice Young (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Young returned to practice for the first time since landing on injured reserve early last month. The team designated the 26-year-old to return earlier in the day but will still need to officially activate him before he can play again. Once healthy, Young should resume his role as a depth receiver and kick returner.

Practice window opens Young (quadriceps) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Young has not played since the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans due to a quadriceps injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Seattle has 21 days to add the Lenoir-Rhyne product to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Once fully healthy, Young is likely to play a depth role in the Seahawks' receiving corps.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Young (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Young injured his quad in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans, and even with a Week 8 bye was unable to suit up for the Week 9 showdown with the Commanders. Now placed on injured reserve, Young will be required to miss at least the next four games with Week 14 against the Falcons constituting his earliest possible return date. In the absence of Young, an already injured wide receiver corps will likely see more snaps from elevated receivers Cody White and Ricky White.

Ruled out Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The kick returner and wide receiver will miss a second consecutive week due to injury. Young was unable to practice in any capacity this week, so George Holani will likely be returning kicks again against the Cardinals. The Seahawks new trade acquisition Rashid Shaheed may also get a share of kick return action, with Shaheed being listed as the lead punt returner for the team.

Misses another practice Young (quadriceps) sat out of practice Thursday after being estimated as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The kick returner and wide receiver suffered the injury in Week 7 and could not return for Week 9 even after Seattle's bye. If Young can't play Sunday against the Cardinals, George Holani might be next in line to return kicks.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Wednesday's practice Young (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Young originally suffered the injury in Week 7 against Houston but remained out in Week 9 even after the team's bye. Per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, coach Mike Macdonald stated the team is still trying to pin down an exact diagnosis, though Young looks to be in danger of missing his second straight game.

Out for Week 9 Young (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Young injured his hip during the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans. He wasn't able to practice despite the extra rest courtesy of the Week 8 bye, so the 2022 seventh-rounder will miss his second game of the regular season. Young and Jake Bobo (Achilles) have both been ruled out for Week 9 and Cooper Kupp (heel/hamstring) is listed as questionable, so the Seahawks will likely elevate at least one wide receiver from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game in Washington. Ricky White, Cody White, Courtney Jackson and Tyrone Broden are the four wide receivers on the Seahawks' practice squad.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice again Young (hip) sat out of practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Young left Seattle's Week 7 win over Houston with the hip injury and did not return. At the moment, even after the Seahawks' bye, he appears likely to miss the team's Week 9 game as well. George Holani should serve as Seattle's kick returner if Young has to miss the matchup with the Commanders.
