Healthy inactive for Week 13
Young (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Analysis: Young suited up for four of Seattle's previous five games, but he didn't log more than five offensive snaps in any contest during that span. The third-year wideout has yet to record a catch this season and has just one target, which came in Week 1 against Denver. As was the case in his first two years with the club, Young has worked primarily on special teams in 2024.

Special-teams contributor
Young didn't record a target over six games during the 2023 season.
Analysis: Young battled an abdomen injury for most of the season, but he was active when he was healthy. Still, Young logged just six offensive snaps compared to 99 special-teams snaps. The 2022 seventh-round pick will be on the roster bubble in 2024.

Practices Wednesday
Young (abdomen) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young has missed the last three games after sustaining an abdomen injury in Week 10 against the Commanders. It was his only appearance of the year, as he spent the beginning of the year on IR with a groin injury. Young's full participation Wednesday is a good sign that the 2022 seventh-round pick is on track to return for Week 14 against the 49ers.

Young (abdomen) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Cowboys.

Unlikely to suit up Thursday
Young (abdomen) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young was reinstated from injured reserve Nov. 4 after missing the Seahawks' first nine games while he recovered from groin surgery, but since making his debut Week 10 against Washington, he hasn't played after suffering an abdominal injury during that contest. He closed Week 13 prep by being listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but he still looks set to remain sidelined for a third straight game Thursday.

Limited in practice
Young (abdomen) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Young managed to practice Tuesday after missing the past two games due to an abdomen injury. If the 24-year-old is able to play versus the Cowboys on Thursday, he can provide value on special teams.

Inactive Thursday
Young (abdomen) is listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: No surprise here, as Young was listed as doubtful heading into the evening. His absence will mark his second straight game missed. In his absence, Dee Eskridge could see some extra snaps as a depth receiver.

Doubtful versus 49ers
Young (abdomen) is doubtful for Seattle's matchup with the 49ers on Thursday, Colin Gunther of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Young is now likely to miss his second consecutive game due to an abdomen injury suffered during the team's Week 10 win over the Commanders. The 2022 seventh-round pick has already missed 10 games this season, and Dee Eskridge could see more playing time Thursday if Young can't play.

Young (abdomen) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Rams, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Young will miss his 10th game of the season in Week 11, this time due to an abdominal injury he sustained in Week 10 versus the Commanders. Dee Eskridge could see a couple extra snaps at receiver Sunday as a result of Young's absence.

Misses practice Thursday
Young (abdomen) did not practice Thursday after being a full participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver came down with the abdominal issue after last Sunday's win over the Commanders. Young spent the first eight games of the season on injured reserve with a groin injury. The second-year pro played two offensive snaps last week and was not targeted.

Young (abdomen) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Managing abdominal issue
Young is dealing with an abdominal issue following Sunday's 29-26 win over the Commanders, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Young missed the start of the year due to a groin injury that he sustained in training camp and wasn't targeted in his season debut Sunday. He's also dealing with another injury following the victory, and it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Removed from IR
The Seahawks activated Young (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Young was placed on IR on Sept. 4 after he sustained a groin injury during training camp and underwent surgery. He was able to get some full practice sessions in leading up to Sunday's game against the Commanders and is set to suit up for the contest. Young should provide depth at wide receiver behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Without injury designation
Young (groin) looks on track to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Washington, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Young logged consecutive full practices to close out the week. As a result, he looks on pace to make his season debut Sunday, assuming he avoids any setbacks prior to kickoff. Still, confirmation on that decision will likely be made Saturday via a Seattle roster move.

Gets go-ahead to practice
Seattle designated Young (groin) for return from its injured reserve list Wednesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks originally placed Young on their injured reserve list prior to Week 1, but it now finally seems he's nearing a return to action. Seattle's injury reports over the course of the week will give insight into whether he might be able to suit up Sunday versus Washington.

May not return as soon as eligible
General manager John Schneider said Monday he hopes to have Young (groin) return from IR "down the road" this season, Gregg Bell of the News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Young underwent a groin procedure a week and a half ago, but it sounds like he may not be able to return from IR at his first eligible date. The second-year pro will need to miss a minimum of four games, and with the Seahawks having a Week 5 bye, his earliest possible return date would be Week 6. Jake Bobo and Cody Thompson (shoulder) should handle expanded depth roles to open the season.

Goes to IR
Seattle placed Young (hip) on its injured reserve list Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young will now have to miss at least Seattle's first four games of the 2023 season. Considering the relatively thin state of the Seahawks' wide receiver depth chart beyond the starting duo of Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, Young's absence could well mean regular snaps for undrafted rookie Jake Bobo.

May need surgery
Head coach Pete Carroll noted Tuesday that Young (hip) is dealing with "an abductor thing" that may require surgery, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young has been dealing with a hip/abdomen injury since Aug. 6, causing him to miss the Seahawks' first preseason game. He was able to play in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys but failed to haul in any of his three targets. If Young is required to sit out for an extended period of time, that opens the door for undrafted rookie Jake Bobo to earn a depth spot on the final 53-man roster.

Catchless outing
Young (hip) didn't catch any of his three targets in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Young missed the first preseason game due to a hip injury. He struggled in this outing, dropping a pass on third down to end a drive in the first quarter. The 2022 seventh-round pick still has a good chance to make the final roster because Dee Eskridge is facing a six-game suspension, but the emergence of undrafted rookie Jake Bobo muddies the waters.

Considered day-to-day
Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that Young is considered day-to-day due to a hip/abdomen injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Young had a limited role for the Seahawks in 2022, securing both of his targets for 24 yards. It's unclear whether his injury in camp will prevent him from suiting up for Thursday's preseason opener against the Vikings.

Quiet 2022 campaign
Young finished the 2022 regular season with two catches (two targets) for 24 yards.
Analysis: The rookie seventh-round pick was effective enough on special teams to stay in the lineup even when he wasn't in the offensive game plan, but he finished with 105 offensive snaps over 13 games. He also caught his lone postseason target for an 11-yard gain. Young is a big-bodied receiver (6-3, 220) that ran a 4.47 40-yard dash, so he certainly has some upside. The former Division II receiver will need to make great strides during the offseason to secure an increased role in 2023.

Makes first NFL catches
Young caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams.
Analysis: Young ranked fourth among the team's wide receivers with a 24 percent snap share, and he caught his first two NFL passes in the process. The seventh-round rookie is a standout athlete that will remain active because of his role on special teams, but his offensive duties will fluctuate based on the game plan during the playoffs.

First career catch called back
Young played two offensive snaps in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the 49ers and didn't record a catch.
Analysis: Young did haul in a 22-yard pass in the second quarter, but it was negated by a holding call. That would've been his first career catch. He could have more opportunities to snag his first pass in Week 16 versus the Chiefs because Tyler Lockett is expected to miss at least one game with a broken finger, leaving DK Metcalf and Marquise Goodwin as the top pass catchers. Young and Penny Hart will battle for the No. 3 job, and it wouldn't be surprising to see both players handle a modest snap count.

Plays one snap Week 12
Young wasn't targeted while playing one of the Seahawks' 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Dee Eskridge's (hand) move to injured reserve ahead of the Week 12 contest didn't translate to any added opportunities on offense for Young. Rather than turning to Young to replace Eskridge as the Seahawks' No. 4 receiver, practice-squad call-up Laquon Treadwell (seven snaps) handled that role.

No targets Sunday
Young wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Young logged 13 offensive snaps in the divisional win because WR Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) was inactive. It's notable that WR Penny Hart was healthy but didn't handle an offensive snap, so it appears that Young has moved up to the No. 5 spot on the Seahawks wide receiver depth chart.

Not targeted in win

No targets in win
Young wasn't targeted in Sunday's 37-23 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Young handled a season-high 17 offensive snaps because DK Metcalf exited early with a knee injury. If Metcalf misses time, Young will likely slot in as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Tyler Lockett, Marquise Goodwin and Dee Eskridge. Penny Hart (hamstring) could run in front of Young when he returns, too.

Minimal role in win
Young wasn't targeted in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Young has only played in two games this season; he has been a healthy scratch in three games but also sat out once with a quadricep injury. The rookie could handle a few more snaps if Penny Hart, who was out with a hamstring injury Sunday, misses additional time, but Young won't be on fantasy radars this season.

Not listed on injury report
Young doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Young didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury that's kept him out since the season opener. However, he returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday and, presumably, progressed to full participation Friday. The rookie seventh-round pick played nine total snaps (four offensive) during Week 1 but failed to record any counting stats.

Young (quadricep) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Young practiced in a limited capacity to open the week Wednesday, but he's since failed to participate in either of Thursday's or Friday's sessions as he tends to a quadriceps issue. The 224-pound receiver saw four offensive snaps and five defensive snaps in the team's season opener against Denver; however, he's been sidelined in each of Seattle's subsequent three contests due to his injury.

Survives cutdown day
The Seahawks announced on Tuesday that Young earned a spot on the 53-man roster.
Analysis: A seventh-round pick out of Division II Lenoir-Rhyne, Young beat out third-year receiver Freddie Swain and rookie Bo Melton -- who was was selected four picks ahead of Young. The Seahawks had six receivers on their initial 53-man roster. Young isn't expected to have much of an impact this season, but his tools are intriguing for a long-term project. After all, he ran a 4.47 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds.

Receiving leader Friday
Young caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Friday's 27-26 preseason loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Young started the game with the first-team offense and was targeted by Geno Smith twice on the first drive, though he dropped both passes. All three of his receptions were from Drew Lock in the second quarter. The rookie seventh-round pick ended up leading the team in receiving yards, too. It's certainly a positive sign that Young was handling first-team reps in the preseason finale, but he's far from a guarantee to make it past Tuesday's cuts.

Scores in first NFL game
Young caught four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-25 preseason loss to the Steelers. He also rushed once for a one-yard loss.
Analysis: Young was an interesting prospect as a highly productive Division II player who ran a 4.47 40-yard dash with a 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame. The Seahawks selected him in the seventh round of April's draft. Young played 72 percent of the offensive snaps Saturday, which was more than any other Seahawks receiver by a wide margin. Of course, his high usage was partially because Freddie Swain (back), Dee Eskridge (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) were all out with injuries while Tyler…read more
