  • Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Comes to life in fourth quarter

    Smith-Njigba brought in four of five targets for 79 yards in the Seahawks' 23-20 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for 11 yards.

    Smith-Njigba shockingly didn't make his first catch until 49 seconds remained in the third quarter, but he'd curiously logged three rush attempts by that point. The talented wideout's moonlighting came to an end down the stretch, however, as he contributed key receptions of 11, 36 and 22 yards in the fourth quarter. The latter catch positioned the Seahawks at the Cardinals' 40-yard line with 23 seconds remaining. Jason Myers would knock home a game-winning 52-yard field goal two plays later, and Smith-Njigba finished with a solid stat line after his night looked to be in danger of being a washout. Smith-Njigba has seen his reception and receiving yardage totals drop over that of the previous game in each of the last three contests, but he remains Sam Darnold's unquestioned No. 1 target heading into a Week 5 home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 5.

The kicker has now made multiple field goals in each of the team's first four games of the year. To this point in the season, Ryland has gone 8-for-10 on field-goal attempts, including 2-for-3 from 50-plus yards, while making all eight of his PATs.

  • Cardinals' Darius Robinson: Questionable to return Thursday

    Robinson (chest) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Seahawks.

    Robinson suffered a chest injury in the second half, placing some doubt on his ability to return. In his absence, Dante Stills and Jordan Burch stand to see an increase in workload on the defensive line.

  • Simi Fehoko WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Simi Fehoko: Has concussion

    Fehoko (concussion) is out for the rest of Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

  • Seahawks' DeMarcus Lawrence: Ruled out Thursday

    Lawrence (thigh) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's matchup with the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Though the the veteran was downgraded to out, his injury is not considered serious, per Rapoport. Lawrence exited in the first half after making one solo tackle. Lawrence played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps in each of Seattle's first three games, but Derick Hall, his backup, already has three tackles (two solo) Thursday night.
