Game-winning catch Saubert wasn't targeted in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams. He caught a two-point conversion in overtime.

Impact Saubert's first look was on the last play of the game, when he caught the two-point conversion to seal a crucial win over the Seahawks' division rival. This was a memorable moment, but it has been a slow season for the veteran tight end, as he has been targeted just twice over nine games.

One target in win Saubert caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.

Impact Saubert handled a 36 percent snap share even though rookie TE Elijah Arroyo (knee) is on injured reserve. With just two catches through eight games, it's clear that Saubert is considered a blocking tight end in the Seahawks' system.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Week 15 Saubert (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Saubert was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the veteran tight end has been cleared to return Sunday from a six-game absence due to a calf injury. With Elijah Arroyo (knee) on injured reserve, Saubert and Nick Kallerup will serve as the backup tight ends behind AJ Barner for Sunday's game.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Potential Week 15 return Saubert (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Saubert has been sidelined since Week 9 and has been practicing all week. It remains to be seen if he'll be active for a Week 15 matchup against the Colts, as he will officially head into Sunday questionable. Saubert will primarily serve as a blocker and on special teams, if active.

Inks new deal The Seahawks signed Saubert (calf) to a one-year contract extension, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact Saubert joined Seattle on a one-year contract in March after spending the previous campaign with the division-rival 49ers. The veteran tight end has never figured into a significant role as a pass-catcher during his 10-year career, and he's now on his ninth team in Seattle. He's been well regarded for his value as a blocker, and that's been the basis of his role with the Seahawks, tallying one catch over seven appearances this season. Saubert has been dealing with a calf injury that's kept him on IR over the last six games, and he was designated to return to practice Wednesday.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Saubert (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Saubert was placed on injured reserve after suffering a calf injury in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans. The tight end has been working his way back and was able to log enough practice sessions in some capacity to be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup. If Saubert can suit up, he will likely slot in as the No. 2 tight end behind 2024 fourth-round pick AJ Barner.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited session Saubert (calf) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Saubert last suited up in Week 7 but was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. He returned to the field by logging a limited session, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be activated for Seattle's Week 15 matchup against the Colts.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Practice window opens The Seahawks announced Wednesday that Saubert (calf) has been designated for return from IR, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Saubert has missed Seattle's last six games due to a lingering calf injury, but he's now ready to resume practicing and will have a 21-day window wherein he can ramp up his activity level without counting against the active roster. The Seahawks can activate him from IR at any point in that span, health permitting. Once ready to return, Saubert will stand to contribute as a depth option at tight end.

Lands on injured reserve Saubert (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Saubert was unable to practice all week due to his calf injury, and his movement to the injured reserve gives Nick Kallerup at least four weeks of opportunities for more offensive snaps at tight end behind AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo. According to Boyle, a main reason for the move to the injured reserve is making space on the active roster for additions such as safety Jerrick Reed II.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact A calf injury prevented Saubert from practicing all week, and his absence for Week 9 gives Nick Kallerup the opportunity for more offensive snaps at tight end behind AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo. Saubert will aim to return in Week 10 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Sits out of practice again Saubert (calf) did not participate in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The tight end also missed Wednesday's session. Saubert has one catch for 12 yards in seven games this season, though he has contributed as a blocker. Nick Kallerup could step forward into that role if Saubert can't go this Sunday night against the Commanders.

OCTOBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Seattle The Seahawks signed Saubert on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact As expected, Saubert is back with the Seahawks after he was released in a procedural move Wednesday. Saubert has just one catch for 12 yards across seven appearances this season but has been a big asset as a blocker.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting released Seattle released Saubert on Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Henderson, the move is believed to be purely procedural, and the Seahawks are expected to sign Saubert again soon. Through seven games so far this season, he's drawn just one target over 145 offensive snaps.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No targets once again Saubert wasn't targeted in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Impact Saubert has been targeted just once through seven games this season. He has consistently played at least 25 percent of the offensive snaps in each game, so he's still a reliable run blocker.
