The Seahawks’ first injury report of the week came with a long list, but the name that stands out most is Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle gets ready for Thursday night’s matchup with the Denver Broncos.
Seattle didn’t practice Monday, but the team still issued an estimated report of how players would have been listed had there been a session. Smith-Njigba showed up with an ankle issue after tweaking it in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers. It’s a new concern worth tracking, though the expectation is that it would take plenty for him to miss Week 6.
He was far from the only notable player on the list.
WR Irv Charles, who is dealing with a knee issue, is trying to get on the field for the first time as a Seahawk after spending the first five weeks of the season on injured reserve. Charles has not played since 2024, when he was with the New York Jets, and Seattle traded a draft pick for him in the offseason because of what he brings on special teams.
RB George Holani also appeared on the report with ribs and knee issues, but the projection of full participation is a positive sign that he should be available for Thursday.
The rest of the group included RB Zach Charbonnet (knee), QB Drew Lock (forearm), OL Beau Stephens (shoulder) and DT Leonard Williams (ankle). Charbonnet is still working toward his 2026 debut after spending the first month of the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, though Seattle’s depth at the position means there’s no urgency to rush him. The Seahawks have Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones Jr. and Robert Henry Jr. on the roster.
Surratt has been dealing with a calf injury and has now missed the last two games, with a third straight absence looking likely.
Drake Thomas is another player to monitor after leaving briefly in Sunday’s game against the 49ers with an ankle injury. His status will be one to watch as the week goes on.

Chargers Loss Just Added Fuel To Denvers Bo Nix Debate
The Broncos got the kind of win that should quiet a few arguments, but instead it only sharpened the one around Bo Nix. Denver beat the Chargers with Nix still in place at quarterback, yet the postgame conversation quickly shifted away from the result and back to how he looked doing it, with criticism following him even in a victory.
Nix was Denvers first-round pick in 2024 and remains under contract through 2027, so the organization has time before any real decision point arrives. Still, the longer his passer rating trends down and the offense stays below average, the harder it becomes to sell the idea that a long-term extension is coming anytime soon, no matter how the standings read in the moment.

Sean Payton Sends Mixed Message On Broncos Offense After Big Change
After the Broncos made a notable change in how the offense was being called, Sean Payton spent Monday trying to strike the right balance between reassurance and honesty. He said the group handled the adjustment well, and he singled out Webb for the work put in during the week, which suggested there was at least some belief the process is settling in.
Payton also made clear the bigger picture is still far from clean. Even with the response to the change, he acknowledged the Broncos are not doing a lot of things well through five games, a candid assessment that leaves the offense with more questions than answers as the team tries to sort out what actually moved the needle.

Broncos O-Line Pressure Is Building After Another Worrying Start
The Broncos are 3-2, but the record has not quieted the concern around an offensive line that has looked shaky far too often in the seasons first five games. The trouble has centered on the interior, where left guard and center have become the spots drawing the most scrutiny as Denver tries to get both its run game and pass protection on steadier ground.
Ben Powers and Luke Wattenberg have not given the unit the consistency the Broncos need, and the pressure is starting to build for a change. Alex Palczewski and Alex Forsyth are at least part of the conversation now as Denver looks for a combination that can hold up better up front and help an offense that still feels like it is searching for its best version.
