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

Young left Seattle's Week 7 win over Houston due to a hip injury, but it's since been reclassified as a quad issue. 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 Sunday night's matchup with the Commanders.

Okuayinonu (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Okuayinonu missed Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury he picked up in Week 8 against the Texans, so his return to practice Thursday is a positive sign. He would avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants if he were to log a full practice Friday. Okuayinonu has logged 19 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, over his last six games, and he has seen an increased role on defense after Nick Bosa sustained a season-ending torn ACL against the Cardinals in Week 3.

Beebe (ankle) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Beebe was able to open the week with a full practice after he was limited all week prior to the team's Week 8 loss to the Broncos. The offensive lineman was designated to return from injured reserve Oct. 22, and he appears to be tracking towards making his regular-season debut Monday night against the Cardinals.

Landry logged two tackles (none solo) in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

Landry entered Sunday's game with a questionable tag due to an ankle injury. Between that and the blowout game script, Landry seemingly had his playing time limited as he matched a season low with a 70.0 percent snap rate. Landry has three or fewer tackles in three consecutive contests.

Smith (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Smith opened the week as less than 100 percent Thursday, but he'll have two more chances to up his participation to full at practice before Monday night's matchup with the Cardinals. The offensive lineman has been dealing with a knee injury for a series of weeks, but he has been able to play through it without missing any action.

Bobo (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

The wide receiver did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, so the Achilles issue appears to be new. Bobo's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday night's matchup with the Commanders. Three of Seattle's five wide receivers, Bobo, Cooper Kupp (hamstring) and Dareke Young (hip), are all questionable at the moment, leaving Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tory Horton as the only healthy wideouts on the roster.

Winters (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Winters was labeled as day-to-day due to a knee injury he sustained against the Texans in Week 8. He's opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and his participation in Friday's session will determine whether he enters Sunday's game against the Giants with an injury designation. Winters tallied 11 tackles against Houston in Week 8, which was as many as he accumulated from Weeks 5 through 7.

Chaisson recorded one tackle (none solo) in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

Chaisson is pacing for his best season in terms of rushing the passer, though he was quiet in Sunday's win. The Patriots logged only 1.0 sacks as a team, so Chaisson will look to get back on track in Week 9 against the Falcons.

Ojulari (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

The Cardinals opened Ojulari's 21-day practice window Thursday, and he was limited in his first practice of the season. The 2023 second-rounder tallied 40 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games during his rookie year, but he was sidelined for his entire sophomore campaign after tearing the ACL, MCL and lateral meniscus in his left knee in August 2024, and a scope that he underwent in June revealed complications to the same knee that caused a setback during his rehab, per Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. Ojulari will be in line to suit up for the Cardinals once he's been activated from IR, but he'll likely have to log full practices before Arizona makes that move.

Elliss logged three tackles (none solo) in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Browns.

Elliss had seen his playing time slip in recent weeks due to the return of Jahlani Tavai. He was on the field for 74 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's blowout win -- matching his season high -- though he didn't deliver a particularly promising line.
