Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Eskridge missed Week 13 against the Cowboys while dealing with a rib issue. He's buried on the wide receiver depth chart but has established himself as the top kick returner, and, barring a setback, figures to reclaim that role for Week 14 against the 49ers.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys after being a nonparticipant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Eskridge may be on the wrong side of questionable after logging back-to-back DNPs leading up to Thursday. The 27-year-old has had minimal impact on the Seattle offense this season, seeing just 16 snaps and one target in four contests. However, his potential absence could affect the team's return game and push Zach Charbonnet or DeeJay Dallas into kick-return duties.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Limited at practice Monday
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Eskridge has played a limited role on offense for the Seahawks this season, but he's emerged as the team's top kick returner since returning from a six-game suspension to begin the campaign. During the Week 12 loss to San Francisco on Thanksgiving, he tallied 140 yards on four returns (including a 66-yarder) and carried once for 10 yards. It's unclear if Eskridge is at risk of missing this Thursday's game in Dallas, but if he does sit out, DeeJay Dallas could take over kick-return duties.

Rotowire
Eskridge didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens. He returned three kickoffs for 60 yards.
Eskridge was the fifth wideout to suit up for the Seahawks but couldn't get into the offensive rotation. We shouldn't expect much out of Eskridge for fantasy purposes this year.

Rotowire
Eskridge (knee) logged a full practice with Seattle on Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Eskridge was limited with a knee issue to open the week Wednesday, but he now appears to be ready to go for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. The wide receiver has operated as an extreme depth option behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett with the Seahawks this year.

Eskridge (knee) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge's six-game suspension was lifted Monday but the 26-year-old is now dealing with a knee injury. With Tyler Lockett (hamstring) also dealing with an injury, Seattle could be short-handed at receiver for Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Suspension completed
Rotowire
Eskridge has completed his six-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Eskridge was suspended for the first six games of the season back in August, but now that he has been reinstated, the wideout is eligible to return to action as soon as Sunday's game against the Browns. In 10 games last season, the 2021 second-rounder caught seven of his 13 targets for 58 yards and carried twice for 10 yards.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Hurts leg Thursday
Rotowire
Eskridge (suspension) suffered an apparent right leg injury during the opening kickoff of Thursday's preseason contest against the Vikings, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Operating on kick coverage, Eskridge remained on the turf at the end of the play before making his way to the blue sideline tent, per Brady Henderson of ESPN.com. The nature of Eskridge's injury is unknown, but it could be another setback after the NFL handed him a six-game suspension last week for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: In line to play Thursday
Rotowire
Head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Eskridge (suspension) is expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Vikings, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Carroll noted that Eskridge was tending to "a little something" Tuesday that held him out of drills, but the receiver was back on the practice field one day later. While Eskridge is eligible to play during exhibition season, he'll be serving a six-game suspension to begin the upcoming campaign due to a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. As a result, his first possible game action will come Oct. 29 versus the Browns.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Suspended six games
Rotowire
Eskridge has been suspended six games for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The 2021 second-round pick can still practice this summer and play in preseason games but won't be eligible to make his regular-season debut until Oct. 29 against the Browns. It probably doesn't change much for the Seattle offense, as Eskridge is no better than fourth on a depth chart that includes WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Vying for depth role in 2023
Rotowire
Eskridge will compete for a depth spot heading into the 2023 season after the Seahawks selected Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round of this year's draft, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Even if the Seahawks didn't add to their receiver room, Eskridge wasn't a lock for a starting role, let alone a roster spot. The 2021 second-round pick has played just 20 games through his first two seasons with only 17 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown to show for it. Cade Johnson and Dareke Young will be his primary competition for the No. 4 spot in 2023.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: En route to IR with broken hand
Rotowire
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Eskridge, who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, is dealing with a fractured hand, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Following Eskridge's exit from the Seahawks' Week 10 loss to the Buccaneers in Munich, Carroll said the second-year wideout sustained a bruised hand and would likely be fine following the team's Week 11 bye. However, Eskridge didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday and Friday, and Carroll's about-face on his earlier comments about the receiver's injury now explain why. Carroll implied that Eskridge would likely be placed on injured reserve, a transaction that could be made Saturday to give the Seahawks some added roster flexibility ahead of Sunday's contest. The Seahawks are likely to turn to either Dareke Young or Penny Hart as their No. 4 receiver while Eskridge is on the mend.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: DNP once again
Rotowire
Eskridge (hand) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge exited the team's Week 10 game against the Buccaneers with the injury, and after a Week 11 bye, the second-year-pro has still yet to practice. Although his influence on the offense is minor, he does operate as the team's return man. If he's unable to play Sunday against the Raiders, Dareke Young will likely move up the wideout depth chart, while DeeJay Dallas may take full control of the return duties.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Eskridge (hand) was a non-participant at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Eskridge left a Week 10 loss to Tampa Bay with a bruised hand, though head coach Pete Carroll subsequently suggested that the wideout didn't have a major injury. Nonetheless, it's concerning that Eskridge was unable to take part in the Seahawks' first practice following their Week 11 bye. Eskridge hasn't played a major role on offense this season -- he has just seven catches on 13 targets for 58 yards over 10 games -- but he's worked as the team's primary kick returner since Week 7.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Injury expected to be minor
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Eskridge has a bruised hand and should be fine following the Seahawks' Week 11 bye, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge suffered a hand injury during the Seahawks' Week 10 loss to Tampa Bay, but he shouldn't have to miss any game action. The second-year wideout has caught seven of 13 targets for 58 yards across 157 offensive snaps and continues to operate as the team's primary kick returner.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: No catches despite expanded role
Rotowire
Eskridge failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals. He also returned two kicks for 41 yards.
The 2021 second-round pick played a season-high 36 offensive snaps (51 percent) with Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) sidelined but couldn't capitalize on the extra reps. Eskridge has produced just seven catches for 58 yards through nine games this year.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: In line for expanded role
Rotowire
Coach Pete Carroll said Eskridge will get more work Sunday at Arizona with Marquise Goodwin (groin) sidelined for the contest, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Targets are few and far between behind the Seahawks' top wide receiver duo of Tyler Lockett (hamstring/ribs) and DK Metcalf (knee), as evidenced by Goodwin compiling just 20 targets in seven games this season. Eskridge himself has just 11 to his name, turning them into a paltry seven catches for 58 yards and no touchdowns, but he's also recorded two carries for 10 yards. A larger snap count for the second-year pro this weekend could result in touches as both a receiver and ball carrier.
