Seahawks Designate Rookie Fullback Robbie Ouzts to Return to Practice

A 21-day evaluation window now decides his roster fate.

Overview

  • Ouzts practiced Monday for the first time since a Week 3 ankle injury led to his September 24 placement on injured reserve.
  • Under NFL IR rules, Seattle has 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster or he remains on IR for the season.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said the rookie got good reps in a short session and will be evaluated going forward.
  • Macdonald noted Ouzts could expand two-back personnel options, with Brady Russell having filled a fullback-type role.
  • The designation does not guarantee availability for Sunday night against Washington, and safety Julian Love took part in warm-ups as his status is monitored.
