The Seattle Seahawks confirmed on Saturday that veteran wide receiver Jake Bobo has been placed on season‑ending injured reserve. The decision follows a knee injury Bobo suffered during a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, where he was carted off the field after a pass was thrown near the sideline.
Injury details and roster move
Bobo, 28, was taken to the locker room after the practice mishap and later evaluated by the team’s medical staff. The Seahawks determined the injury would keep him out for the rest of the campaign, leading to the official IR designation.
To fill the open roster spot, Seattle signed 26‑year‑old wide receiver Julian Hicks. Hicks had briefly joined the Seahawks last weekend before being waived to make room for two‑time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs. Although Hicks has yet to appear in an NFL regular‑season game, he previously spent time on the Green Bay Packers’ roster after going undrafted out of Albany in 2024.
Bobo’s contributions
In the 2025 season, Bobo appeared in 11 games, recording two receptions on two targets for 20 yards. He also contributed in the postseason, catching two passes for 33 yards and scoring a touchdown as Seattle defeated New England 29‑13 in Super Bowl LX.
Over his career to date, Bobo has amassed 34 receptions on 44 targets for 323 yards and three touchdowns across 45 regular‑season contests, including three starts since joining the league in 2023.
Impact on the Seahawks
The loss of Bobo removes a depth option from the Seahawks’ receiving corps, but the team remains confident in its remaining talent pool. Head coach Pete Carroll emphasized the importance of staying focused on the upcoming schedule and praised Hicks for stepping in on short notice.
Seattle fans, known for their passionate support, have taken to social media to wish Bobo a speedy recovery and to welcome Hicks to the squad. The organization has not indicated any further roster moves at this time.
Looking ahead
With the regular season entering its final stretch, the Seahawks will rely on their core group of receivers and the newly acquired Diggs to maintain offensive production. The team’s medical staff will continue to monitor Bobo’s progress, aiming for a full recovery in the offseason.
