Signs with Seattle's practice squad The Seahawks signed White to the practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

White spent the 2025 season on the practice squad, being elevated to the active roster for two regular-season games. The 24-year-old participated in 22 total snaps and will likely see a similar number of chances in 2026.

Waived by Seattle The Seahawks waived White on Sunday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Sticking with Seattle White signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact The wide receiver appeared in two regular-season games for Seattle in 2025, playing on 13 offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps. He did not record a catch. White was a seventh-round pick of the team in 2025.

Sent back to practice squad The Seahawks reverted White to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact White was elevated for the second straight week ahead of Sunday's win against Arizona. The rookie wideout logged six offensive snaps without getting any targets or touches and also played four snaps on special teams. Both Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf) missed Sunday's contest, and White's chances of getting elevated again this Sunday versus the Rams could depend on the health of those two players.

Elevated for Week 10 White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact White has now been elevated for a second consecutive week, meaning he has one more elevation before he will need to be signed to the active roster to suit up. The rookie seventh-round pick will have a better shot to contribute to the offense and special teams units behind wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cody White if Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and Tory Horton (groin/shin) are unable to go.

Back on practice squad The Seahawks reverted White to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Seattle elevated White from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's win over the Commanders. The rookie seventh-round pick logged seven offensive snaps and five snaps on special teams. White didn't see any targets in his first NFL regular-season action, and his likelihood of being elevated again moving forward likely depends upon the health of wideouts Cooper Kupp (hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps), all of whom missed Sunday's victory.

Elevated for Week 9 White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The undrafted free agent out of UNLV will get his first NFL opportunity Sunday night, replacing the injured Dareke Young and Jake Bobo in a substantial special teams capacity, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Heads to practice squad White signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact White was extremely productive at UNLV with 167 catches for 2,524 yards and 19 touchdowns across his final two seasons, but his 4.61 40-yard dash was a glaring weak spot for a 6-foot-1, 184-pound receiver. He struggled in preseason with just three receptions for 40 yards over three games, and he lost out to Dareke Young and Cody White for the final two wideout spots. White now has a chance to develop on the Seahawks' scout team.

Fails to make team White was waived Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact White was drafted by the Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft but won't be on the team's initial 53-man roster. The rookie out of UNLV is likely to stick around on the practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Three catches this preseason White caught one of two targets for six yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers.

Impact The rookie seventh-round pick has had an uneventful preseason with just three receptions for 40 yards through three games. Whtie has an intriguing prospect profile where he was highly productive at Michigan State and UNLV, but his 4.61 40-yard dash was a letdown. He's on the roster bubble ahead of Week 1.

Makes one catch Thursday White (undisclosed) caught his lone target for 14 yards in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie versus the Raiders.

Impact A rookie seventh-round pick, White missed practice time during the week with an undisclosed injury, but he returned to action in the fourth quarter of Thursday's exhibition game, catching a short pass from fellow rookie Jalen Milroe. With rookie fifth-round pick Tory Horton on track for a roster spot, White is competing with Dareke Young and Cody White for a depth role in this offense.

Doesn't practice Saturday White (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The type and severity of White's injury isn't clear, but he was held out of Saturday's practice and is in jeopardy of missing more in the coming week. The rookie seventh-rounder is competing for a depth spot on the Seahawks' 53-man roster, so participating in practice is crucial for him to make his case to survive cut-down day. White will aim to be available for Seattle's preseason opener against Las Vegas on Thursday.
