Overview
- Jake Bobo suffered a right‑knee injury and was carted off during a joint practice in Nashville on Friday, leaving the Seahawks with an immediate availability loss.
- The team placed Bobo on season‑ending injured reserve on Saturday, a move that officially rules him out for the 2026 season.
- Seattle used Bobo’s open roster spot to sign wide receiver Julian Hicks, a quick transaction to add depth ahead of final roster cuts.
- Bobo’s two‑year, $5.5 million offer sheet that Seattle matched this spring included $4.5 million guaranteed, so the club now faces a lost on-field return for a significant financial commitment.
- His absence widens opportunities for players such as Montorie Foster Jr. and Cody White to earn game roles, but the Seahawks’ preseason depth has been further strained by other recent injuries including rookie safety Bud Clark.
