Young didn't play an offensive snap in Thursday's 38-37 overtime win versus the Rams.
Young missed the last seven games with a quadriceps injury, and his role in Week 16 was limited, as expected. The 2022 seventh-round pick is the No. 5 wide receiver in the rotation and won't be a dependable option down the stretch.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Activated for Thursday's game
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) has been activated from injured reserve and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's home game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young has been a full participant at practice throughout Seattle's preparations for Thursday Night Football, so it's unsurprising to see him activated in time to face off against Los Angeles. After having missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, Young will now resume handling a depth role in the team's wide-receiver corps.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Poised to return Thursday
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Thursday night's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Young was a full participant in practice for the duration of the Seahawks' Week 16 prep. His lack of an injury designation indicates that he'll play in Thursday's NFC West tilt, but he'll have to be activated from injured reserve first. Young has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury that he sustained in Week 7 against the Texans.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Opens week with full practice
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
The Seahawks held a walkthrough to open Week 16 prep, but Young has been a full practice participant since his 21-day practice window opened in early December. The 2022 seventh-rounder has missed the Seahawks' last seven games due to a quad injury, but he has a chance to return Thursday against the Rams if he's activated from IR.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Won't return Week 14
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Young will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in early November. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a full practice participant during Week 14 prep, but the 2022 seventh-rounder is not quite ready to be activated from IR. Given his ability to practice in full, Young has a good chance to be available for the Seahawks' Week 15 clash against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Full participant in practice
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) was a full participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Young returned to practice for the first time since landing on injured reserve early last month. The team designated the 26-year-old to return earlier in the day but will still need to officially activate him before he can play again. Once healthy, Young should resume his role as a depth receiver and kick returner.

Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young has not played since the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans due to a quadriceps injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Seattle has 21 days to add the Lenoir-Rhyne product to its active roster before he reverts to IR. Once fully healthy, Young is likely to play a depth role in the Seahawks' receiving corps.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Out for Week 9
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Young injured his hip during the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Texans, but it's since been reclassified as a quad concern. He wasn't able to practice despite the extra rest courtesy of the Week 8 bye, so the 2022 seventh-rounder will miss his second game of the regular season. Both Young and Jake Bobo (Achilles) have been ruled out for Week 9, and Cooper Kupp (heel/hamstring) is listed as questionable, so the Seahawks likely will elevate at least one wide receiver from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's contest. Ricky White, Cody White, Courtney Jackson and Tyrone Broden are the four options at the position on Seattle's practice squad.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Makes splash play in Week 5
Rotowire
Young hauled in his lone target for a 36-yard reception and returned five kickoffs for 154 yards in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.
Young logged just four of the Seahawks' 61 offensive snaps, but he made a big impact during his time on the field, connecting with quarterback Sam Darnold on a deep ball early in the third quarter to set up an eventual Zach Charbonnet touchdown run. The Seahawks could continue to sprinkle Young into the offensive game as a downfield threat, but the 26-year-old projects to deliver most of his impact as a return man.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: No targets in win
Rotowire
Young wasn't targeted in Thursday's 23-20 win over the Cardinals. He returned one kick for 29 yards.
Young also recorded three solo tackles on special teams. He played just two offensive snaps, and it appears he'll only handle a serious amount of offensive work if injuries stack up or the Seahawks are in a blowout game.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Impresses as returner
Rotowire
Young caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 44-13 win over the Saints. He also returned two kicks for 92 yards.
Young's a big, speedy wide receiver, and although he hasn't put it together on offense, he may have carved out a role as a returner moving forward. The 2022 seventh-round pick also consistently serves as a gunner on special teams.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Past hamstring injury
Rotowire
Young (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Young appears to be past a hamstring injury that prevented from playing against the 49ers in Week 1 and is on track to play against the Steelers on Sunday. He should see most of his playing time on special teams, including as a kick returner alongside George Holani.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Limited to open week
Rotowire
Young (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young was unable to play in the Seahawks' regular-season opener against the 49ers this past Sunday due to a hamstring injury. He has two more chances this week to upgrade his practice participation and avoid an injury designation heading into Seattle's Week 2 clash against Pittsburgh. The 2022 seventh-rounder worked mostly on special teams last year and will likely reprise that role this season.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: One long catch Thursday
Rotowire
Young caught one of three targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 23-23 tie against the Raiders.
Young tied with rookie Tory Horton for a team high in yardage, although Horton was targeted seven times and scored. Heading into the final year of his rookie contract, Young is battling for a depth roster spot, and Horton's emergence in training camp slims those odds. However, Young has consistently reeled in deep balls during training camp, and his willingness to work on special teams could help him land one of the final spots.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Unlikely to suit up Thursday
Rotowire
Young (abdomen) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Young was reinstated from injured reserve Nov. 4 after missing the Seahawks' first nine games while he recovered from groin surgery, but since making his debut Week 10 against Washington, he hasn't played after suffering an abdominal injury during that contest. He closed Week 13 prep by being listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but he still looks set to remain sidelined for a third straight game Thursday.

Rotowire
Young (abdomen) is doubtful for Seattle's matchup with the 49ers on Thursday, Colin Gunther of the team's official site reports.
Young is now likely to miss his second consecutive game due to an abdomen injury suffered during the team's Week 10 win over the Commanders. The 2022 seventh-round pick has already missed 10 games this season, and Dee Eskridge could see more playing time Thursday if Young can't play.

Rotowire
The Seahawks activated Young (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Young was placed on IR on Sept. 4 after he sustained a groin injury during training camp and underwent surgery. He was able to get some full practice sessions in leading up to Sunday's game against the Commanders and is set to suit up for the contest. Young should provide depth at wide receiver behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks' Dareke Young: Catchless outing
Rotowire
Young (hip) didn't catch any of his three targets in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Young missed the first preseason game due to a hip injury. He struggled in this outing, dropping a pass on third down to end a drive in the first quarter. The 2022 seventh-round pick still has a good chance to make the final roster because Dee Eskridge is facing a six-game suspension, but the emergence of undrafted rookie Jake Bobo muddies the waters.
