There might be an opportunity for Bobo to compete for decent playing time with the Seahawks this preseason, but the more likely scenario is that he sticks with the club as a backup. He's more of a big-bodied bruiser than a speedy receiver anyway, and if there's anything the Seahawks need less of, it's that kind of style. Still, we know that the receivers on the Seahawks roster after Jaxon Smith-Njigba are either old or inconsistent, so there could be a pathway for Bobo to play more often. If it happens, bank on him being available off waivers.
Bobo suffered a concussion in Saturday's preseason loss to the Packers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Bobo was fielding a punt toward the end of the first half when his own teammate was blocked into him, causing a fumble. Prior to exiting, Bobo caught his lone target for a gain of 12 yards. The 27-year-old wideout is jockeying for positioning on Seattle's wideout depth chart behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.

Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Looking good for No. 4 WR spot
Rotowire
Bobo seems to be solidifying his role as Seattle's No. 4 wide receiver, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune.
Bobo made the team as an undrafted rookie last year, shining in the preseason and then getting playing time off the bench throughout the regular season. He drew targets on just 25 of his 148 routes, 16.9 percent, but took advantage of the limited opportunities with 19 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns. Bobo had 64.8 percent of his yardage in a three-game stretch Weeks 6-8, and the lack of production thereafter suggests he's probably headed for a depth role again, not to mention the difficulty of gaining ground on the trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Production fizzles out
Rotowire
Bobo caught 19 passes (25 targets) for 196 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games in 2023. he also rushed once for a three-yard touchdown.
Bobo showed some impressive flashes in the beginning of the season, but that production essentially vanished in the second half of the year. He recorded nine receptions for 61 yards and no touchdowns over the final 10 games. Still, the Seahawks' lack of depth at the position provides Bobo a good opportunity to make the roster again in 2024.

Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Usage drops off in blowout loss
Rotowire
Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens.
Bobo finished with just nine offensive snaps while Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all played at least 40 snaps, despite the fact that Seattle trailed early and had to abandon its run game.

Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Gets 53-man spot
Rotowire
Bobo earned a spot on Seattle's initial 53-man roster, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Bobo recorded 57-817-7 receiving line at UCLA in 2022 but then ran a 4.99-second 40-yard dash during the pre-draft process, resulting in him going undrafted in the spring. He caught on with Seattle and impressed during training camp and finished with the 14th-most receiving yards (125) among all players this preseason, earning a depth spot with the Seahawks to open the season. He might even get some snaps Week 1, given all the other injuries the Seahawks have at wide receiver behind starters DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Stands out in preseason
Rotowire
Bobo caught all three of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 24-13 preseason win over the Vikings.
DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and depth wideout Dareke Young (hip) didn't suit up for the preseason game, and Dee Eskridge (knee) and Cade Johnson (concussion) both exited with injuries. In turn, Bobo handled more reps than was previously expected. The 23-year-old capitalized on the opportunity by pacing the Seahawks in receiving yards. Bobo spent four years at Duke before transferring to UCLA for his final season, when he caught 57 passes for a team-high 817 yards and seven touchdowns. His production was quite impressive even for a fifth-year player, but his 4.99 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 207 pounds is concerning. As long as he keeps making noise in the preseason, however, he'll have a shot at one of the final roster spots this season.
