Latest blog entries from Seattle teams across every league
During his time with the Seattle Kraken, Shane Wright never lived up to the expectations that come with being the fourth-overall pick. Now with a trade to the Nashville Predators, the 22-year-old has the opportunity to capitalize on a fresh start and redefine his career.
The Mariners announced that five players have cleared players and been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma. They are left-hander Josh Simpson, right-hander Troy Watson, as well as infielders Weston Wilson, Will Wilson and Patrick Wisdom. More to come.
After a dramatic 33-30 overtime comeback over the Dallas Cowboys, the Arizona Cardinals promote Gardner Minshew to starting quarterback, push rookie Carson Beck to backup, and drop Jacoby Brissett to third string—making him a possible trade candidate before the deadline. Minshew threw 17‑of‑23 for 188 yards and three TDs, including a game‑tying 13‑yard strike to Michael Wilson. The move aims to spark consistency as the Cardinals head into Week 9 against Seattle.
The Cardinals head coach wasted no time naming his starting QB this week.
The Seahawks make change to roster hours before MNF game vs. Bears.
The Arizona Cardinals announce Gardner Minshew as the Week 9 starter against Seattle, bumping Jacoby Brissett to third‑string. Minshew, who sparked a comeback win over Dallas after replacing Brissett in Week 8, now leads the offense, while rookie Carson Beck is named the backup. Analysts suggest Brissett could become a trade chip. Minshew, 30, is a former 2019 sixth‑round pick who has bounced from the Jaguars to the Eagles, Colts, Raiders and Chiefs before signing a one‑year deal with Arizona for 2026. He’s 73.9% complete for 188 yards and three TDs in his lone Cardinals appearance.
Set to have their full allotment of running backs available for the first time this season, the Seahawks will bring back Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet just in time for a massive Monday Night matchup vs. the Bears.
The Seattle Seahawks boost their backfield for Monday Night Football, activating first‑round running back Jadarian Price from IR—his first action since Sept. 27—while Zach Charbonnet makes his season debut. Alongside Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani, Seattle now has a full RB committee against the Chicago Bears. The offense also gets a lineman upgrade after trading for veteran guard Quenton Nelson, while Chicago adds defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. The moves set up a pivotal run‑and‑pass battle on Nov. 2.
The Seattle Seahawks promote practice‑squad players Montorie Foster Jr. and Bobby Hart ahead of Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. With offensive lineman Charles Cross sidelined, Hart becomes the swing tackle backup for Josh Jones and Abe Lucas. Foster, who spent the season’s early weeks on the active roster before being waived, returns after a standout preseason showing and seven special‑teams snaps in his lone regular‑season appearance. The moves come after the Seahawks’ impressive Week 7 win over the Kansas City Chiefs and aim to bolster depth for the primetime clash.
The Seattle Seahawks have activated rookie running back Jadrian Price from injured reserve, adding him back to the 53-man roster ahead of Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Price, who suffered a chest injury in Week 2 and was sidelined after 119 rushing yards on 28 carries, replaces undrafted rookie Robert Henry Jr, who was waived. He returns to a revamped backfield that now includes Zach Charbonnet, fresh from an ACL recovery, and a newly acquired All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson bolstering the offensive line. Seattle hopes the duo will revive a struggling run game under new OC Brian Fleury as they seek offensive balance.
The Chicago Bears promote tight end Stephen Carlson from the practice squad for Monday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. The move, announced at 3 p.m. CT, adds depth after Cole Kmet’s season‑ending knee injury landed him on IR. Carlson, a 29‑year‑old fourth‑year Bear who entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Browns in 2019, has 6 catches for 62 yards and a TD in 28 games. He will revert to the practice squad after the game, his first elevation of the season.
The Seattle Seahawks are set to activate rookie RB Jadarian Price from injured reserve for Monday Night Football Week 8 against the Chicago Bears, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports. Seattle simultaneously waives RB Robert Henry Jr. and promotes WR Montorie Foster Jr. and OT Bobby Hart from the practice squad. The 23‑year‑old first‑round pick (32nd overall, 2026) missed his freshman season with a torn Achilles but earned first‑team All‑American honors as a kick returner in 2025. In his rookie year he’s logged 28 carries for 119 yards and four receptions for 21 yards.
The Seattle Mariners add depth ahead of free‑agency day, claiming right‑hander Isaac Mattson from the Pittsburgh Pirates and outfielder Grant McCray from the San Francisco Giants. Mattson, a 31‑year‑old reliever with a 93‑96 mph fastball and solid secondary slider and changeup, brings a much‑needed upgrade to Seattle’s middle‑relief corps. McCray, a 25‑year‑old with elite speed, a strong arm and a 12% barrel rate, offers versatile defensive coverage but has struggled with contact, striking out 40% of his swings. Both retain minor‑league options through 2027, giving the Mariners flexibility as they trim the 40‑man roster.
The Chicago Bears (5-2) travel to Lumen Field for a Monday Night Football showdown with the Seattle Seahawks (4-3) on Nov. 2, 2026. Kickoff is at 7:15 p.m. CT (8:15 p.m. ET) and the game airs nationally on ESPN, with a local broadcast on Chicago’s WCIU and an alternate Peyton & Eli Manning telecast on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. CT. Stream it via the ESPN app, ESPN+ or NFL+. The Seahawks are three-point home favorites (Seahawks -170, Bears +142) and the over/under is 46.5. Key notes: Bears’ defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is debut‑eligible, while Seattle’s defense leads the league in yards allowed but deals with several injuries, including left tackle Charles Cross.

The Seattle Mariners have claimed right‑hander Isaac Mattson off outright waivers from Pittsburgh, adding a 31‑year‑old reliever who posted a strong 2.45 ERA and 12 holds in 2025 before slipping to a 5.35 ERA in 2026. Over three seasons with the Pirates, Mattson compiled a 3.83 ERA and 20 holds in 91 2/3 innings, throwing a 94.2 mph fastball, slider and changeup. He also recorded a 1.33 ERA in Triple‑A Indianapolis this year. With the Mariners’ 40‑man roster now over the limit, they must cut four players before the deadline, and Mattson enters his final minor‑league option year in 2027.
Former Seattle Seahawks running back Dan Doornink, who helped the team to a 13-7 Wild Card win over the Raiders in 1984 and amassed 1,836 rushing yards in seven seasons, dies at 70. After retiring in 1986, he earned a medical degree from the University of Washington and spent three decades as an internal‑medicine physician in Yakima, earning the nickname “Dr. Dan.” The Seahawks announced his passing on October 31, noting his dual legacy in football and community health. Doornink’s death follows a battle with two rare autoimmune diseases.
The Seahawks bolster their line by trading for All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson, giving up a 2027 third‑round and a 2028 fifth‑round pick as they chase another Super Bowl. With the trade deadline looming, three players could be moved: RB Emanuel Wilson, who leads Seattle with 403 yards and three TDs but may become expendable now that Zach Charbonnet and rookie Jadarian Price are healthy; edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., a one‑year, $5 million signing who has seen just 81 snaps and could fetch a low‑round pick; and a third unnamed candidate hinted at in the article. The piece weighs each player’s value against the team’s new depth and upcoming needs.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson says he trusts quarterback Caleb Williams to handle the NFL’s $35,823 cleat controversy without hurting the team. Williams, 18, keeps wearing Caddix shoes with the logo exposed despite two fines—$11,941 after the Atlanta game and $23,882 after beating New England—and an appeal on the first. The league allows non‑partner shoes if the branding is covered, but Williams refuses for principle. No suspension or team penalty has been announced ahead of Monday night’s clash with Seattle, leaving his footwear choice the story to watch.
After winning the AL West and reaching the ALCS in 2025, the Seattle Mariners stumbled to a third‑place finish in 2026, prompting president Jerry Dipoto to explore trade options to revamp a lacking offense. ESPN’s Buster Olney reports the club is ‘poking around’ to leverage its surplus starting pitchers—still intact despite trading Luis Castillo—to acquire batting talent before a likely December 1 lockout. Key lineup concerns include the possible free‑agency loss of Randy Arozarena, a down year from Cal Raleigh, and sub‑par production from Julio Rodríguez, making a roster shake‑up imminent.
Colin Cowherd warns Steelers owner Omar Khan that the team’s costly acquisition of DK Metcalf is “washed,” urging a trade after Metcald’s underwhelming performance. The former Seahawks star has failed to meet expectations, recording over 100 receiving yards in only two of 15 games in 2025 and continuing to struggle in 2026. Cowherd’s blunt criticism highlights the growing frustration over what many see as a wasted draft capital and salary‑cap space.
Roush has to replace Cole Kmet, Odunze has to end his touchdown drought, and Jaylon Johnson has to look like a shutdown corner again. Three Bears who must step up in Seattle.
Monday Night Football pits NFC powerhouse Chicago Bears against defending champion Seattle Seahawks in a playoff‑implicated showdown. The Bears, fresh off a 30‑24 win over New England, sit 5‑2 and could rise to 6‑2 with a victory, while a loss drops them to 5‑3. Key storyline: defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons makes his debut after a Thursday trade, bringing league‑leading pressure stats. Seattle returns running backs Jadarian Price and Zach Charbonnet and adds guard Quenton Nelson, but its defense remains elite, allowing just 17.9 points per game. Analysts predict a close game, with scores ranging from 31‑27 to 17‑10 in favor of Chicago.
Seattle’s 2026 offensive line overhaul continues as the Seahawks trade promising O‑linemen for star talent. After a dominant ground game that topped 150 yards at Lumen and a strong return from injury by Anthony Bradford, the team added Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to solidify the run. Yet the push for perfection forced the loss of Bryce Cabeldue to the Raiders and veteran guard Christian Haynes, who now dons a Dolphins jersey. Former players like Matt Hasselbeck and Ray Roberts weigh in, praising Nelson’s impact and questioning the fit of the departed linemen. With upcoming matchups against the 49ers and Rams, Seattle aims to turn “good” into “great.”
Here's how we're handling the Seahawks' backfield in fantasy football for Week 8.
