Seahawks elevate both practice squad running backs for NFC Championship Game vs. Rams

Seahawks elevate both practice squad running backs for NFC Championship Game vs. Rams

The Seattle Seahawks need all the help they can get at running back with Zach Charbonnet out for the season, and they’re taking no chances in terms of available depth.

Having brought back George Holani from injured reserve, the Seahawks also elevated Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr to the game day roster for Sunday’s NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams. This gives the Seahawks four running backs available: Kenneth Walker III, Holani, Akers, and Jones. Holani, Akers, and Jones are also all kickoff return options.

While Akers and Jones maxed out their regular season practice squad elevations, those...

49ers irritant Deommodore Lenoir fined for headbutting Jaxon Smith-Njigba

49ers irritant Deommodore Lenoir fined for headbutting Jaxon Smith-Njigba

While the Seattle Seahawks were busy wrecking the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round, talkative 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was busy headbutting Jaxon Smith-Njigba. This happened in the third quarter of Seattle’s eventual 41-6 romp, and didn’t draw a flag, but cameras were rolling.

This was always going to lead to some sort of financial punishment for Lenoir, who’s been fined $20,944 for “use of the helmet.” Lenoir has developed a reputation for being an irritant with his trash-talking and constant mixing it up with opposition, and as recently as last season he got worked [in a skirmish...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.


It’s time for some Seahawks Reacts survey results!

Examining the Seahawks’ playoff history against division opponents

Examining the Seahawks’ playoff history against division opponents

The Seattle Seahawks are in the midst of some of the most intense periods of two of their most heated division rivalries. On Saturday, the Seahawks downed the San Francisco 49ers 41-6 in the Divisional Round, set to face the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game. Seattle split the regular season series against both San Francisco and Los Angeles, making for two exciting heavyweight tilts in this year’s postseason.

That’s not the only thing on the line against the Rams on Sunday, though—this is the biggest Seahawks game since 2014, being the first time the team has reached...

Seahawks NFC Championship Game game statuses: Charles Cross set to play

The Seattle Seahawks have announced their final injury report for the NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. Most notable is that starting left tackle, Charles Cross has received no game status and is therefore good to go.

The larger question will be who will back Cross up at left tackle. The second strong left tackle, Josh Jones is listed as questionable with knee and ankle injuries, while third string left tackle, Amari Kight is listed as doubtful with a knee injury. Other backup options for the Seahawks could include rookie offensive tackle, Mason Richman. Logan Brown is another...

Seahawks activate George Holani, Elijah Arroyo for NFC Championship Game

The Seattle Seahawks have a pair of injured reserve players back on the active roster in time for the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Running back George Holani and tight end Elijah Arroyo will be available for Sunday’s highly anticipated trilogy showdown. Holani will essentially replaced the injured Zach Charbonnet, who’s out for the year with an ACL tear suffered in the Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers. The second-year undrafted free agent has been on injured reserve since injuring his hamstring in the Week 12 win over the Tennessee Titans in late November.

Arroyo has...

Saturday the Seattle Seahawks will host the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field in the NFC Championship Game in an atmosphere that is likely to be the most electric most fans and players have experienced.

The contest between the two division rivals will not only decide the season series after the team split the two matchups during the regular season, the winner will likely be favored in Super Bowl LX.

With the stakes effectively as high as can be, there is little need for any extra motivation, but that isn’t going to stop the Seahawks from adding fuel to a...

Who should raise the Seahawks’ 12 Flag before the NFC Championship?

Who should raise the Seahawks’ 12 Flag before the NFC Championship?

The Seattle Seahawks’ tradition of raising the 12 Flag high above Lumen Field before home games has become more than a hype-creating event in recent years.

In the post Legion of Boom era, it’s turned into a way of celebrating the team’s past and connecting with the crowd. Look no further than last week’s flag raiser, Doug Baldwin, who brought the same fiery energy he played with, igniting the crazed Seahawks fans across the world before Rashid Shaheed had even given them something to cheer about.

In Seattle’s three previous appearances in the NFC Championship, the team’s late owner, Paul...

Where the 2025 Seahawks coaching staff was during Seattle’s last NFC Championship Game

For the fourth time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks are playing in the NFC Championship Game.

The last time the Seahawks were on the doorstep of a Super Bowl berth was the 2014 season, amidst the greatest run in franchise history. Seattle was defending its Super Bowl 48 championship from the year prior, once again boasting the league’s No. 1 defense in points allowed. This was the peak of the Legion of Boom era, with Pete Carroll overseeing a terrorizing unit that finished first in the NFC for the second straight year.
