Seahawks Fullback Robbie Ouzts Listed as Questionable for Super Bowl LX
As the Seattle Seahawks prepare to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the team's injury report reveals a key concern. Fullback Robbie Ouzts is the only player on the roster with a game status, listed as questionable due to a lingering neck injury. This development was reported by John Boyle, Senior Reporter of Seahawks.com, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the rookie's availability for the championship clash.
Injury Report Details and Practice Participation
Ouzts, a rookie fifth-round pick, was a limited participant in practice on Friday, along with offensive tackle Josh Jones, who has been managing knee and ankle issues for weeks. However, Jones has since been removed from the injury report and is cleared for the Super Bowl. In contrast, Ouzts was also limited on Thursday and Wednesday, indicating ongoing concerns with his neck. Safety Nick Emmanwori avoided an injury designation despite an ankle scare mid-week, leaving Ouzts as the sole player with a questionable tag.
Ouzts' Injury-Plagued Rookie Season and Potential Replacement
If Ouzts is unable to play, backup fullback Brady Russell is expected to step into his role. Ouzts' NFL journey has been marred by injuries from the outset. He suffered an ankle injury during the Seahawks' Week 3 victory over the New Orleans Saints, leading to Russell taking over as the top fullback. Ouzts was placed on injured reserve two days later, missing four games before returning in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders.
Further setbacks included an elbow injury during Week 12 practice, though he played against the Tennessee Titans that week. He was inactive in Week 15 due to a coach's decision and played 14 snaps in the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers. Most recently, in January 2026, Ouzts was ruled out of the NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams with the same neck injury, leaving Russell as the only healthy fullback for that crucial matchup.
Robbie Ouzts' 2025 NFL Stats and Background
Standing at 6-foot-3 and 274 pounds, Ouzts played tight end for Alabama but was converted to fullback by the Seahawks to bolster their physical run game under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Used exclusively as a blocker, he has not recorded any carries or receptions during the regular season. He ran 29 routes across 182 offensive snaps and was not targeted in the passing game.
As a tight end at Alabama, Ouzts had eight receptions for 108 yards and two touchdowns in the 2024 season. At the NFL Combine in February 2025, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.91 seconds and completed 26 reps on the bench press, showcasing his strength and athleticism.
