Seahawks' Dareke Young: Career year in 2025
Young caught two of three targets for 48 yards and tallied 322 kick-return yards across nine regular-season games in 2025.
The fourth-year pro from Lenoir-Rhyne set career highs in receiving yards and kick-return yards while tying his best reception total, all while appearing in just nine regular-season contests. Young also operated as one of the Seahawks' top special teamers, logging 156 snaps and tallying nine total tackles during the regular season. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Young could draw interest from teams seeking special-teams help ahead of next season.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Key special-teams play
Young recovered a fumble and made a tackle in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.
Young played just one offensive snap as the team's No. 5 wide receiver, but he made a massive play on special teams, recovering a muffed punt in the third quarter. Seahawks WR Jake Bobo caught a 17-yard touchdown pass on the next play. Young has been an outstanding gunner on special teams this season and will look to make a similar impact in the Super Bowl versus the Patriots.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: No targets in blowout win
Young wasn't targeted in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.
Young worked as the No. 5 wide receiver and logged just 11 offensive snaps. He has received just two targets this season, so his work will be most noticeable on special teams in the NFC Championship Game.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Targeted once in win
Young didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.
Young logged 11 offensive snaps -- his largest total since Week 3 -- because Rashid Shaheed (concussion) and Cody White (groin) exited the game early and didn't return. The Seahawks face a crucial test in Week 18 with the No. 1 seed on the line against the 49ers, and Young could have a slightly increased role once again if Shaheed and White can't go.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: No offensive reps
Young didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.
Young missed the last seven games with a quadriceps injury, and his role in Week 16 was limited, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick is the No. 5 wide receiver in the rotation and won't be a dependable option down the stretch.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Activated for Thursday's game
Young (quadriceps) has been activated from injured reserve and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's home game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young has been a full participant at practice throughout Seattle's preparations for Thursday Night Football, so it's unsurprising to see him activated in time to face off against Los Angeles. After having missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, Young will now resume handling a depth role in the team's wide-receiver corps.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Poised to return Thursday
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Young was a full participant in practice for the duration of the Seahawks' Week 16 prep. His lack of an injury designation indicates that he'll play in Thursday's NFC West tilt, but he'll have to be activated from injured reserve first. Young has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury that he sustained in Week 7 against the Texans.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Opens week with full practice
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The Seahawks held a walkthrough to open Week 16 prep, but Young has been a full practice participant since his 21-day practice window opened in early December. The 2022 seventh-rounder has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, but he has a chance to return Thursday against the Rams if he's activated from IR.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Will not play Sunday
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.
Young will miss his seventh straight game due to a quadriceps injury that landed him on injured reserve in early November. He was a full participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but it appears the fourth-year pro will need at least another week before being activated off IR. Young will have another opportunity to return for Seattle's Week 16 matchup against the Rams on Thursday, Dec. 18.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Won't return Week 14
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Young will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in early November. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a full practice participant during Week 14 prep, but the 2022 seventh-rounder is not quite ready to be activated from IR. Given his ability to practice in full, Young has a good chance to be available for the Seahawks' Week 15 clash against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Full participant in practice
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Young returned to practice for the first time since landing on injured reserve early last month. The team designated the 26-year-old to return earlier in the day but will still need to officially activate him before he can play again. Once healthy, Young should resume his role as a depth receiver and kick returner.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Practice window opens
Young (quadriceps) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young has not played since the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans due to a quadriceps injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Seattle has 21 days to add the Lenoir-Rhyne product to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Once fully healthy, Young is likely to play a depth role in the Seahawks' receiving corps.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Placed on injured reserve
Young (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young injured his quad in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans, and even with a Week 8 bye, he was unable to suit up for the Week 9 showdown with the Commanders. Now placed on injured reserve, Young will be required to miss at least the next four games, with Week 14 against the Falcons constituting his earliest possible return date. In the absence of Young, an already injured wide receiver corps will likely see more snaps given to elevated receivers Cody White and Ricky White.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Ruled out
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
The kick returner and wide receiver will miss a second consecutive week due to injury. Young was unable to practice in any capacity this week, so George Holani will likely be returning kicks again against the Cardinals. The Seahawks new trade acquisition Rashid Shaheed may also get a share of kick return action, with Shaheed being listed as the lead punt returner for the team.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Misses another practice
Young (quadriceps) sat out of practice Thursday after being estimated as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The kick returner and wide receiver suffered the injury in Week 7 and could not return for Week 9, even after Seattle's bye. If Young can't play Sunday against the Cardinals, George Holani might be next in line to return kicks.
