Full participant in practice
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Practice window opens
Young (quadriceps) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Placed on injured reserve
Young (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Ruled out
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Young (quadriceps) was estimated to be a non-practice participant at Wednesday's walkthrough John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young originally suffered the injury in Week 7 against Houston but remained out in Week 9 even after the team's bye. Per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, coach Mike Macdonald stated the team is still trying to pin down an exact diagnosis, though Young looks to be in danger of missing his second straight game.

Out for Week 9
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Young injured his hip during the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans, but it's since been reclassified as a quad concern. He wasn't able to practice despite the extra rest courtesy of the Week 8 bye, so the 2022 seventh-rounder will miss his second game of the regular season. Both Young and Jake Bobo (Achilles) have been ruled out for Week 9, and Cooper Kupp (heel/hamstring) is listed as questionable, so the Seahawks likely will elevate at least one wide receiver from the practice squad to the…read more

Misses practice again
Young (quadriceps) sat out of practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young left Seattle's Week 7 win over Houston due to a hip injury, but it's since been reclassified as a quad issue. At the moment, even after the Seahawks' bye, he appears likely to miss the team's Week 9 game as well. George Holani should serve as Seattle's kick returner if Young has to miss Sunday night's matchup with the Commanders.

Makes splash play in Week 5
Young hauled in his lone target for a 36-yard reception and returned five kickoffs for 154 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Young logged just four of the Seahawks' 61 offensive snaps, but he made a big impact during his time on the field, connecting with quarterback Sam Darnold on a deep ball early in the third quarter to set up an eventual Zach Charbonnet touchdown run. The Seahawks could continue to sprinkle Young into the offensive game as a downfield threat, but the 26-year-old projects to deliver most of his impact as a return man.

No targets in win
Young wasn't targeted in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals. He returned one kick for 29 yards.
Analysis: Young also recorded three solo tackles on special teams. He played just two offensive snaps, and it appears he'll only handle a serious amount of offensive work if injuries stack up or the Seahawks are in a blowout game.

Impresses as returner
Young caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned two kicks for 92 yards.
Analysis: Young's a big, speedy wide receiver, and although he hasn't put it together on offense, he may have carved out a role as a returner moving forward. The 2022 seventh-round pick also consistently serves as a gunner on special teams.

Minor role in win
Young didn't receive a target over eight offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Young's an extremely athletic receiver who hasn't quite put things together offensively since entering the league as a seventh-round pick in 2022. However, he continues to be a strong special-teams player, as he notched a tackle in that capacity in Sunday's game.

Past hamstring injury
Young (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Young appears to be past a hamstring injury that prevented from playing against the 49ers in Week 1 and is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. He should see most of his playing time on special teams, including as a kick returner alongside George Holani.

Limited to open week
Young (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young was unable to play in the Seahawks' regular-season opener against the 49ers this past Sunday due to a hamstring injury. He has two more chances this week to upgrade his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Seattle's Week 2 clash against Pittsburgh. The 2022 seventh-rounder worked mostly on special teams last year and will likely reprise that role this season.

Out for Sunday
Young (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Young downgraded from limited practice participation Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, making it no surprise he'll miss Sunday's divisional contest. The fourth-year wideout played almost exclusively on special teams last season (228 special teams snaps), failing to catch his only target across 14 appearances. With Young and Jake Bobo (concussion) sidelined in Week 1, Cody White is expected to play as the Seahawks' No. 4 wideout.

Downgrades to DNP
Young (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Young opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, so his DNP is a trend in the wrong direction. He would need to return to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a chance at playing in Sunday's regular-season opener against the 49ers. Young is slated to start the season in a depth role at wide receiver, but he would be in line to see an uptick in offensive snaps in Week 1 if Jake Bobo (concussion) is not cleared to play.

Leading receiver in preseason win
Young caught three passes (three targets) for 52 yards in Friday's 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs. He also returned a kick for 29 yards.
Analysis: Young is on the roster bubble, but he continues to make a strong case for one of the final spots. The 2022 seventh-round pick hasn't caught a pass in the regular season since his rookie year, but he's a speedy receiver who's capable of returning kicks and making tackles as a special-teams gunner. He'll have once last chance to confirm his roster spot in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Packers.

One long catch Thursday
Young caught one of three targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 23-23 tie against the Raiders.
Analysis: Young tied with rookie Tory Horton for a team high in yardage, although Horton was targeted seven times and scored. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, Young is battling for a depth roster spot, and Horton's emergence in training camp slims those odds. However, Young has consistently reeled in deep balls during training camp, and his willingness to work on special teams could help him land one of the final spots.

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.

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.

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.

Analysis: Young was placed on IR on Sept. 4 after he sustained a groin injury during training camp and underwent surgery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
