Is Seahawks fullback’s status a cause for concern?

Seattle Seahawks fullback Robbie Ouzts has been sidelined with an undisclosed issue for the team’s past two training camp practices, according to ESPN’s Brady Henderson.

After the latter of those two practices on Monday, head coach Mike Macdonald was asked about Ouzts’ status.

“We’re going to try to find some more information with Robbie’s situation,” Macdonald said. “I’ll just leave it at that right now. But we’ll have an update for you sooner than later.”

Ouzts suffered a neck injury during the playoffs this past season, which sidelined him for both the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl. He also missed four games with an ankle injury from Weeks 4-7.

Ouzts, a 2025 fifth-round draft pick out of Alabama, converted to fullback last offseason after playing tight end in college. The 6-foot-3, 274-pound Ouzts logged 203 offensive snaps in 12 games for the Seahawks last year, and there’s been speculation he could be ticketed for a larger role this fall under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury.

The other fullback on Seattle’s roster is 6-foot-3, 250-pound Brady Russell, who also converted from tight end last offseason. Russell, the Seahawks’ de facto special teams captain, played just 58 offensive snaps last year.
