Ouzts

Ouzts is a former Alabama tight end the Seahawks converted to fullback last season. He dealt with a neck injury heading into the Super Bowl and will now head to injured reserve due to another neck issue. The Seahawks will lose some blocking upfront in the run game but have Brady Russell at the position to fill Ouzts’ void.

With Kallerup out of the lineup, Seahawks second-round rookie TE Elijah Arroyo will make his postseason debut. Arroyo has been impacted by a late-season knee injury. He will likely operate as the team’s No. 3 tight end today. Ouzts, a fan favorite, is sidelined by a neck injury. Milroe is inactive, but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.

The fan-favorite rookie will be eligible to return after missing four games. Though not all teams utilize the fullback position, the Seahawks certainly do, and Ouzts has made a solid impression to begin his career. He boasts a 67.3 PFF run-blocking grade, ranking top three among running backs and fullbacks with at least 25 qualifying snaps. The Seahawks are on bye in Week 8. Seahawks FB Brady Russell will take over in Ouzts’ stead. The Seahawks signed S D’Anthony Bell to the active roster and S Jerrick Reed II to the practice squad.

The Seahawks held a walk-through practice, but Charbonnet was estimated as a full participant for the second straight day. He missed the Seahawks’ Week 3 win over the Saints, but is now back on track to play Thursday against the Cardinals. Kenneth Walker scored twice but averaged an inefficient 2.4 yards per carry on Sunday without Charbonnet. Look for Charbonnet to be involved again in Week 4. The other backfield injury concern is fullback Robbie Ouzts (ankle), who was an estimated non-participant on back-to-back days.
