Seahawks Activate Dareke Young, Elevate Cam Akers and Amari Kight for Thursday Night vs. Rams

Seattle targets depth shortages at running back plus tackle caused by injuries.

Overview

  • Dareke Young was activated from injured reserve after missing eight games with a quadriceps injury following several weeks of practice.
  • Cam Akers and Amari Kight were elevated from the practice squad for the Week 16 matchup against Los Angeles.
  • Left tackle Charles Cross is expected to miss the game with a hamstring injury, prompting extra tackle depth with Kight.
  • Seattle waived safety D’Anthony Bell earlier in the week and re-signed him to the practice squad, so no corresponding move was required to activate Young.
  • The move uses one of the Seahawks’ limited IR activations, leaving one remaining for the regular season, while Akers could debut against his former team.
