Robbie Ouzts - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Healthy scratch Week 15 Ouzts (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Ouzts missed four games earlier in the season due to an ankle injury, but he will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game. Brady Russell will be the lone fullback on the active roster for Week 15.

Green light to play Week 12 Ouzts (elbow/personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact Outzts was a full participant in Friday's practice after missing the first two sessions of the week due to a personal matter and elbow injury. The rookie fifth-rounder has ultimately been cleared to play Sunday, and the converted fullback will continue to give the Seahawks a blocking presence out of the backfield.

Questionable to play Tennessee Ouzts (elbow/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ouzts was listed as a DNP for the first two practices of the week due to both an elbow injury and for personal reasons, and while he's listed as questionable for Sunday's game, he did return for Friday's practice as a full participant. Ouzts was a tight end during his collegiate career at Alabama, but he has carved out regular playing time in the Seahawks' offense after being converted to fullback during the offseason.

Activated Saturday Ouzts was activated from the injured reserve list Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The rookie fifth-round fullback was a full participant in practice all week and is set to make his return for the Week 9 Sunday night matchup against the Commanders. Ouzts played 60 offensive snaps through the first three weeks of the season before succumbing to an ankle injury that landed him a spot on the injured reserve. His return to the lineup makes for a positive addition to the Seahawks' run game.

Set to return Week 9 Ouzts (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The rookie fifth-round fullback was a full participant in practice all week, and head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Ouzts will play Sunday night, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Ouzts will need to be activated from injured reserve before being cleared to play Week 9, but he's set to return from a four-game absence due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Saints.

Practices in full again Ouzts (ankle) was a full participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact The fullback was also a full participant in Wednesday's session, two days on from being designated to return from injured reserve. Ouzts is on track to play this Sunday against the Commanders after missing Seattle's last four games. The rookie started two of the Seahawks' first three contests and could provide a blocking boost to Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet upon his return.

Designated to return from IR The Seahawks designated Ouzts (ankle) to return from injured reserve Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Ouzts missed the Seahawks' last four games due to an ankle injury that he sustained in Week 3 against the Saints. He has progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice, and the rookie fifth-rounder's practice participation this week will determine whether he will be activated off IR and cleared to play against the Commanders on Sunday. Ouzts' return would boost the Seahawks' backfield blocking and impact the effectiveness of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the rushing attack.

Impact Ouzts was placed on injured reserve in late September after he sustained an ankle injury during the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Saints. Seattle is on a bye for Week 8, which gives him additional time to recover and return to practice, which would put him in position to be activated off IR ahead of Week 9. Ouzts played tight end during his collegiate career at Alabama, but the Seahawks selected him in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the intent of converting him to a full-time fullback.

Suffers ankle injury Week 3 Head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Ouzts injured his ankle during the Seahawks' 44-13 win over the Saints on Sunday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when the rookie fifth-rounder suffered the injury, but with the Seahawks on short rest, it puts him in greater jeopardy of missing Thursday's NFC West clash against the Cardinals in Arizona. Ouzsts' practice participation over the coming days will be worth monitoring, and if he's not cleared to play Thursday, Brady Russell would step in as the Seahawks' top fullback.

Runs with first-team offense Ouzts worked with the first-team offense during the Seahawks' first day of training camp Wednesday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

Impact Fullback is a dying breed in the NFL, but as Bell reported, offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak used one on 25 percent of the Saints' plays last season. The Seahawks affirmed their commitment to the position by selecting Ouzts in the fifth round and immediately converting him from tight end to fullback where he started with Kenneth Walker on Thursday. Ouzts is currently competing with third-year pro Brady Russell for the starting job.

Being converted to fullback The Seahawks are planning to convert Ouzts, who they selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, from tight end to fullback, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Ouzts played a versatile role during his four years in college at Alabama, and as a tight end he worked primarily as a blocker. That should help the rookie with his conversion to a fullback in the NFL, and Henderson notes that the decision is part of a plan by new OC Klint Kubiak to deploy a more physical run game. Ouzts will likely compete for reps in fullback packages with Brady Russell, who is also making a change from tight end to fullback for the coming campaign.
