Tuesday’s injury report was an estimation since the team did not practice. The team will have one more injury report Wednesday before its Thursday night contest at the Denver Broncos.

Smith-Njigba, who leads the NFL with 583 receiving yards, hurt his ankle during Seattle’s 32-29 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The reigning AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year finished with five catches for 102 yards and a touchdown, but dropped a deep third-down pass during the Seahawks’ final drive.

There was only one change for Seattle on its injury report Tuesday, as guard Beau Stephens was upgraded to a full participant after being limited the day prior.

Stephens, a 2026 fifth-round pick out of Iowa, has been in a time share at right guard with Christian Haynes since Week 2 due to starter Anthony Bradford sustaining knee and hip injures that eventually landed him on injured reserve. Stephens played 30 offensive snaps (47.6%) in Seattle’s loss to San Francisco.

Linebackers Drake Thomas (ankle) and Chazz Surratt (calf) were listed as did not participate for the second straight day. Thomas was injured late in the first half on Sunday but returned after halftime. Surratt has missed the past two games.

Additionally, wide receiver and special-teams ace Irv Charles (ankle) was listed as a full participant again. He was activated off the injured reserve earlier in the day, opening up a path to make his Seahawks debut on Thursday.

Running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) was listed as limited, though head coach Mike Macdonald on Monday said the plan is for Charbonnet not to play Thursday.

Below is Seattle’s full injury report from Tuesday.
