Won't face competition from Howell
Seahawks GM John Schneider said Thursday that Smith is "the guy" and fellow QB Sam Howell was brought in to be a backup, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: That's not exactly surprising given the gaps in both 2023 performance and 2024 compensation between the two quarterbacks, but it'll nonetheless be comforting to anyone counting on Smith to start this upcoming season. It'll be especially good news for Smith if this is Seattle's only big QB move during the offseason, as the team has been mentioned in connection with Justin Fields and various draft prospects. Drafting a QB is definitely still possible, but the trade for Howell is a pretty clear…read more

Restructures contract
Smith and the Seahawks agreed Thursday to a restructured contract, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's a simple restructure, converting Smith's $9.6 million roster bonus into a signing bonus to create $4.8 million in 2024 cap space (while adding $4.8 million to the 2025 sheet). The Seahawks already signaled intent to bring Smith back as their starting QB in 2024 when they kept him on the roster through mid-February once his $12.7 million base salary became guaranteed. His contract runs through 2025 but doesn't have any guarantees in the final year, potentially setting up the Seahawks for a…read more

Won't be released to avoid payment
The Seahawks informed Smith on Thursday that he'll remain on the roster through this week rather than be released to avoid a $12.7 million contract guarantee that kicks in Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Smith has two years remaining on the three-year, $75 million contract he signed last offseason, but the deal only had injury guarantees after the first year. His $12.7 million base salary for 2024 is one of those, converting to a full guarantee Feb. 16 (this Friday). Smith then has a $9.6 million roster bonus due March 17, and the Seahawks presumably wouldn't keep him around for now if they didn't also plan to pay that out and have the 33-year-old QB under contract for 2024.

Throws two scores in win
Smith completed 16 of 28 pass attempts for 189 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 28 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Smith led a clutch game-winning drive within the two-minute warning to lead his team to victory and a 9-8 record in 2023. Last year's Comeback Player of the Year saw his numbers take a step back this season, completing 65 percent of his passes for 3,435 yards, 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 15 games. The only area the 32-year-old improved in was ball protection by committing three fewer turnovers compared to 2022. Despite Smith's slight regression, he figures to be under center for…read more

Efficient performance in loss
Smith completed 23 of 33 passes for 290 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers. He added three rushes for 33 yards and also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Smith put up some impressive numbers thanks to five completions of at least 20 yards -- matching his season high -- and he showed particular rapport with DK Metcalf on several long completions. That allowed him to average an impressive 8.8 yards per attempt -- his highest mark since Week 7. However, he still had some shortcomings, the most important of which was a lost fumble midway through the fourth quarter that allowed the Steelers to go up by two scores. Smith also failed to record multiple…read more

Leads team to victory in return
Smith (groin) completed 25 of 36 pass attempts for 227 yards and two touchdowns with one carry for two yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Smith was back under center for the Seahawks after a nagging groin injury cost him two weeks of action. The veteran starter looked healthy in his return, completing 69 percent of his passes without turning the ball over. Smith threw his second touchdown in the closing moments of Sunday's narrow victory, giving Seattle its second comeback win in as many weeks. The 8-7 Seahawks will have to figure out how to contain the NFL's current sack leader, T.J. Watt, in order to keep Smith upright in the…read more

Cleared to play
Smith (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith has been listed as a full practice participant all week, after missing Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles. He'll now step back in as the starting quarterback, facing a Titans defense that has five starters and two key backups ruled out. Coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Smith looked great at Friday's practice and is good to go for Sunday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Another full practice
Smith (groin) practiced in full Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports
Analysis: Smith has missed two consecutive games due to a groin injury that he suffered during a Dec. 7 practice, but he was active this past Monday against the Eagles after completing a pregame workout. In the end, the Seahawks erred on the side of caution on a wet field and rolled with Drew Lock under center, and the latter led a come-from-behind 20-17 victory. Smith told Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic on Thursday that he feels "the same Monday that I do now," which so far has amounted to full…read more

Full session on tap Wednesday
Head coach Pete Carroll said that Smith (groin) will be a "full go" at Wednesday's walk-through practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks had a bit of quarterback drama ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles. After Smith completed a pregame workout, the team left him active, but Drew Lock then handled all the first-team reps in warmups while Smith remained off the field. About 15 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Lock and not Smith was expected to start, and Lock ended up directing Seattle's offense as Smith donned street clothes. While Lock ended up leading Seattle to a…read more

Will start Week 16 if healthy
Coach Pete Carroll confirmed after Monday's 20-17 win over the Eagles that Smith will start versus the Titans in Week 16 as long as he's healthy, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Smith was active for Monday's win despite his groin injury, but Seattle opted to proceed with Drew Lock under center. That decision likely came due to Smith still operating at less than 100 percent health, but barring any setbacks in practice this week, the stage appears set for his return to the lineup. Smith hasn't played since Week 13 due to a groin issue, but he was listed as a limited participant on all three Week 15 practice reports and should resume handling first-team reps this week.

Active but unlikely to start Monday
Smith (groin), who is active for Monday's contest versus the Eagles, isn't expected to start, with Drew Lock instead slated to lead the Seahawks offense, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Smith sat out Week 14 at San Francisco due to a groin injury that he suffered just three days before the game. After being deemed a limited participant on all three Week 15 practice reports, he was listed as questionable for Monday. He then completed a pregame workout and was considered active, but Lock handled all the work with the Seahawks' first-team offense in a subsequent warmup. Smith thus appears to be yielding QB duties to Lock for a second consecutive contest, and it's unclear if Smith…read more

Analysis: After sitting out a Week 14 loss at San Francisco due to a groin injury that he suffered in a Dec. 7 practice, Smith was able to log limited sessions Thursday through Saturday and head into a second consecutive contest with a questionable designation. Speaking about Smith on Saturday, coach Pete Carroll told John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site that the quarterback again will be a game-time call, with his status contingent on a pregame workout.

Facing 'uphill battle' for Monday
Smith (groin) remains listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles but appears to be facing an "uphill battle" to play, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."
Analysis: According to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, head coach Pete Carroll wasn't willing to volunteer much information about Smith's status for the matchup with the Eagles when he spoke to the media following the Seahawks' final practice of the week Saturday, beyond noting that the quarterback didn't experience any setbacks in his recovery from the groin injury he first suffered in a Dec. 7 practice. Even so, Smith never advanced beyond limited participation this week, and it's possible that the…read more

Questionable for Monday
Smith (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Eagles, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Smith might truly be a game-time decision Monday despite practicing in limited fashion Thursday through Saturday. The veteran quarterback sat out last week's loss to the 49ers due to the groin injury, paving the way for Drew Lock to make his first start as a member of the Seahawks. Lock would be in line for another start Monday if Smith can't play, but fantasy managers will need to stay attuned to any additional updates on the Seahawks' quarterback situation leading up to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET…read more

When the Seahawks opened Week 15 preparations Thursday, coach Pete Carroll told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that Smith "feels really good" and described him as day-to-day.

Officially limited Thursday
Smith (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Earlier Thursday, coach Pete Carroll told Brady Henderson of ESPN.com that Smith took part in the team's morning walkthrough and was slated to practice to open Week 15 prep. Those generally are positive signs after the groin injury that he suffered during last Thursday's session didn't allow him to mix into drills last Friday or play this past Sunday at San Francisco. Smith now will have two more chances to increase his activity level ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Smith (groin) took part in a walkthrough and is slated to practice later Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Carroll didn't specify to what extent Smith will be involved in practice, but the coach added that the quarterback feels "really good" as the Seahawks kick off Week 15 prep. The longer turnaround for Monday's matchup with the Eagles should only aid Smith as he looks to make his return from a groin injury, which caused him to miss his first game as a member of the Seahawks this past Sunday against the 49ers.

Week 15 status currently cloudy
Coach Pete Carroll said, "We'll see," regarding Smith's chances to return to action next Monday against the Eagles, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "These couple days right here just are so invaluable for him getting all the treatment he gets and then just the rest time," Carroll added.
Analysis: Smith injured his groin during practice last Thursday, which sidelined him at Friday's session and resulted in his first absence as a member of the Seahawks on Sunday at San Francisco. Seattle will be afforded a bit more time than normal for a Week 15 matchup on Monday Night Football, meaning the team won't reconvene for practice again until Thursday, at the earliest. As intimated by Carroll, Smith will focus on rehab and recovery Tuesday and Wednesday before seeing if he'll be able to take…read more

Analysis: The Seahawks added Smith to the Week 14 injury report Thursday as limited due to a groin issue, which kept him out of practice entirely Friday. Coach Pete Carroll subsequently termed Smith a game-time decision for Sunday, and after a pregame warmup, the quarterback has been deemed unable to play. With Smith sidelined for the first time this season, Seattle will turn to Drew Lock under center. Smith's next chance for active status is Monday, Dec. 18 against the Eagles.

Looks like true game-time call
Smith is officially listed as questionable and is hopeful to play through a groin injury Sunday against San Francisco, but Seattle isn't expected to make a decision on his availability until after he complete pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter notes that Smith's groin issue is "considered a two-week injury," which highlights the challenge the signal-caller faces in trying to take the field against the 49ers. Head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Smith would be a game-time decision for the contest, so the quarterback would appear to have a legitimate chance at missing his first game since becoming Seattle's starting quarterback in 2022.

He's officially listed as questionable, with Carroll's comments suggesting the team will treat Smith as such entering the weekend, though long-time Seahawks beat reporter Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune said that he'll be surprised if the quarterback doesn't play.

Dealing with groin issue
Smith was limited at Thursday's practice due to a groin injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Smith avoided the Seahawks' first Week 14 practice report Wednesday, so his addition to the list one day later puts the spotlight on Friday to help determine if he may be in danger of sitting out Sunday in San Francisco. The QB is coming off his fourth 300-yard passing performance of the season last Thursday at Dallas, but he also mustered just 180 yards, no touchdowns and one interception on 18-for-27 passing when Seattle hosted the 49ers back in Week 12.

Loses high-scoring duel to Dak
Smith completed 23 of 41 passes for 334 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Seahawks' 41-35 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for six yards and another score.
Analysis: Smith put up a stat line befitting a victory, but a trio of late stalled drives helped scuttle that outcome. However, the veteran signal-caller still finished with a highly fantasy-friendly performance, connecting with DK Metcalf for touchdown passes of 73, one and three yards while adding a five-yard scoring scamper of his own early in the third quarter. However, Smith completed just six of his 15 pass attempts over the aforementioned final three possessions, with what appeared to be a…read more

Struggles in tough matchup
Smith (elbow) completed 18 of 27 passes for 180 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added four rushes for 21 yards in the Seahawks' 31-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Smith was able to play through his triceps contusion but put up unsurprisingly underwhelming numbers against the suffocating 49ers defense. Smith was relatively efficient overall, but he took six sacks and was only able to connect with top targets DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett a combined six times for 62 yards.

Analysis: Smith suffered a contusion to the tendon at the bottom of his triceps on his right arm, per Henderson, but the quarterback is expected to play through the issue Week 12. Any negative impact to Smith's accuracy against San Francisco's stout defense could, of course, prove significant, especially on a short week.

Dealing with elbow bruise
Head coach Pete Carroll announced that Smith is dealing with a bruised elbow sustained in Sunday's narrow loss to the Rams, putting his status for Thursday's contest against the 49ers in jeopardy, according to Seahawks senior reporter John Boyle.
Analysis: Smith injured his elbow late in Sunday's contest, but he re-entered the game after backup Drew Lock threw an interception in his stead. The veteran starter made a valiant effort to get his team into field-goal range before kicker Jason Myers missed the attempt from 55 yards out.

Rough performance against Baltimore
Smith completed 13 of 28 passes for 157 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 37-3 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Smith struggled to get Seattle's offense moving throughout the game, as he averaged a miserable 5.6 yards per attempt. There were very few highlights in the performance, though he did show rapport with Jaxon Smith-Njigba -- something that could help unlock the offense moving forward. Overall, Smith has now failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in five of his eight games and has topped 300 passing yards just twice. Even more troubling, he's turned the ball in five of his last six games.

Smith completed 23 of 37 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Smith had both good and bad moments in the game, as he cost the Seahawks a chance at points late in the first half with a pick deep in Cleveland territory. That carried over into the second half, as he threw another interception and managed only 80 total yards. However, he found a good time to come alive, as he completed four of five passes for 52 yards on the team's game-winning drive, which Smith capped with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Overall, Smith has topped 250 yards…read more

Overcomes two TOs for third win
Smith completed 18 of 24 pass attempts for 219 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while rushing six times for 10 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-10 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Smith was able to get back into the scoring column after failing to toss a touchdown against Cincinnati last week. However, the veteran was unable to clean up his turnover issues, producing two more following the pair of interceptions thrown in his last outing. The 32-year-old has gotten off to a slow start following his late-career breakout in 2022, throwing seven touchdowns with five turnovers compared to the 2:1 TD:TO ratio he produced last year. Things won't get any easier for Smith in Week…read more

Two turnovers in loss
Smith completed 27 of 41 passes for 323 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bengals. He added four rushes for 20 yards.
Analysis: Smith attempted exactly 41 passes for the second time this season. He averaged a solid 7.9 yards per attempt, and five of his completions went for more than 20 yards. However, his day was defined by two interceptions that changed the outcome of the game and prevented him from recording a touchdown for the first time this season. Lack of scores has become a trend for Smith, as despite throwing for over 295 yards in three of his five games, he has only five touchdowns on the campaign.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Smith (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Smith's full participation in the Seahawks' first practice session of Week 6 backs up head coach Pete Carroll's comments from Monday, when he told Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic that the quarterback's knee was "fine." Per Boyle, the injury stemmed from Smith getting his knee twisted up Week 4 at the Giants, but he was able to return and complete 13 of 20 passes for 110 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. With the help of the team's Week 5 bye, Smith is good to go for Sunday's road…read more

Doing 'fine' after Week 5 bye
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Smith's knee is "fine," Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Smith hurt his knee during the Seahawks' last contest Monday, Oct. 2 at the Giants, which capped him to 38 of 55 offensive snaps. His resulting stat line was modest -- 13-for-20 passing for 110 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions along with a catch for minus-2 yards -- and Carroll told John Boyle of the team's official site afterward that Smith's injury was spurred by getting his knee twisted. With a Week 5 bye behind him, Smith appears as if he'll miss no more time due to the issue, as…read more

Avoids serious injury
Head coach Pete Carroll said Smith twisted his knee during Monday's 24-3 win over the Giants, but the injury isn't serious, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Smith didn't appear limited by his injury during the second half of Monday's matchup, and while he may be sore for a few days after the win, he'll have plenty of time to recover with the Seahawks set to enjoy a bye Week 5. The team will undoubtedly monitor its starting quarterback closely over the next two weeks, but he should have a good chance of gaining clearance to play in Seattle's Week 6 road matchup with the Bengals. Smith finished the win over the Giants with 13 completions on 20…read more

Smith (knee) is back on the field following halftime of Monday's game with the Giants, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Smith went down with a knee injury in the first half, but he's ready to go for the final 30 minutes. The quarterback was replaced for two series by Drew Lock following his injury, and Lock now will return to the bench.

Dealing with leg injury
Smith suffered a knee injury and is questionable to return to Monday's contest with the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Smith limped off the field after being hit while running out of bounds in the second quarter, and his status for the remainder of the game is now uncertain. More information on the quarterback will likely come following halftime. For the time being, Drew Lock has taken over under center for Seattle.

Solid in Sunday's win
Smith completed 23 of 36 passes for 296 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also threw a two-point conversion to Tyler Lockett.
Analysis: The pick was his first of the season and snuffed out a second-quarter drive, but it didn't end up costing his squad. Smith spread the ball around, completing passes to nine different Seahawks, but his lone TD went to undrafted rookie Jake Bobo on a five-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Smith will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against a Giants defense that just got gashed for 310 yards and two touchdowns by the 49ers' Brock Purdy.

Leads team to OT win
Smith completed 32 of 41 passes for 328 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 37-31 overtime win over the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 20 yards.
Analysis: Smith's final line was an especially welcome sight for fantasy managers who endured a rough Week 1 from the veteran quarterback. He seemed to heat up as the game went on, working around a brief absence from DK Metcalf due to a rib injury along the way. The 11-year pro came through in the clutch by tossing a fourth-quarter, three-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett before going back to his trusted wideout for a six-yard game-winning scoring toss in overtime. Smith's first 300-yard game of 2023…read more

Quiet in home opener
Smith completed 16 of 26 pass attempts for 112 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Smith led a flat passing attack that couldn't keep up with a Cooper Kupp-less Rams team. The veteran didn't make any egregious mistakes, and better days should be ahead from a fantasy perspective. The 2022 Comeback Player of the Year will attempt to come back from this dud when Seattle takes on Detroit on Sunday.

Not playing Saturday
Smith isn't dressed to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Packers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Smith went through pregame warmups but doesn't have cleats or a helmet for the actual game. The Seahawks aren't expected to play many starters and can soon shift their focus to a Week 1 home game against the Rams. Rookie WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (wrist) is unlikely to be ready for that game following his recent surgery, but Smith still has a strong group of players around him between WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and a backfield duo of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

Crisp in preseason debut
Smith completed five of six passes for 46 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Seahawks' 22-14 preseason win over the Cowboys on Saturday night.
Analysis: The veteran signal-caller got his first game action of the summer in, playing two series and leading Seattle to a field goal on the latter drive. Smith's completions included connections with incumbents Tyler Lockett and Will Dissly, as well as rookie first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Whether or not head coach Pete Carroll will risk his starting quarterback in next Saturday afternoon's preseason finale against the Packers remains to be seen.

Slated to play Saturday
GM John Schneider said that Smith is in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks held Smith out of their exhibition opener last Thursday, but it appears he and the rest of the team's healthy starters will get a dress rehearsal before Week 1. As Seattle's No. 1 quarterback in 2022, he completed 70 percent his passes for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions en route to NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors.

Unlikely to play Thursday
Smith isn't slated to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Vikings, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Smith handled the initial throws with the first-team offense during pregame warmups before leaving most of the QB reps to Drew Lock. As a result, Smith's next chance for some exhibition action will arrive Saturday, Aug. 19 against the Cowboys. It's unclear if the Seahawks will give him any snaps during the preseason, but he likely doesn't need them after turning a comeback 2022 campaign into a three-year, $105 million extension with the team back in March.

Lands big payday
The Seahawks and Smith agreed to a three-year, $105 million contract extension Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A second-round pick of the Jets in the 2013 NFL Draft, Smith flamed out in his initial stop in the NFL and served as a journeyman until winning a quarterback battle against Drew Lock last summer in the post-Russell Wilson era in Seattle. Smith proceeded to put together an impressive campaign, completing 69.8 percent of his passes for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while also running for 366 yards and one more score. With wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and running…read more

Contract talks underway
Smith has reportedly had positive contract negotiations with the Seahawks thus far, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Smith would likely be one of the top signal callers if he were to hit the open market this offseason, but it appears as if the Seahawks would like to avoid that possibility, as talks regarding an extension are seemingly moving in a positive direction. The 32-year-old quarterback put up career-best numbers across the board in his first season as a starter with Seattle, but given this was Smith's first year as a starter since 2014, any extension would likely be of the shorter variety as the team…read more

Tosses two TDs in wild-card loss
Smith completed 25 of 35 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Saturday's 41-23 wild-card loss to the 49ers. He added 28 rushing yards on four carries and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Considering the quality of the defense he was facing, it was a solid performance from Smith in his playoff debut, but the Seahawks' defense fell apart in the second half. The 32-year-old will head into free agency after a remarkable comeback season that saw him lead the NFL with a 69.8 percent completion rate and throw for 4.282 yards and 30 touchdowns while starting all 17 regular-season games for Seattle, and his playoff performance shouldn't dissuade a team in need of a veteran QB from…read more

Poor performance in win
Smith completed 19 of 31 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Rams. He added four rushes for 51 yards.
Analysis: Smith threw an interception on his first pass attempt of the game, which largely set the tone for the rest of his performance. While he threw multiple picks for only the second time this season, Smith managed to lead a few key drives. The first came early in the third quarter, which he capped by connecting with Tyler Lockett for a 36-yard touchdown. Though both ended in field goals, Smith also led drives late in the fourth quarter and in overtime to help Seattle win the game and keep their…read more

Tosses two TDs in win
Smith completed 18 of 29 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets. He added 18 rushing yards on five carries.
Analysis: While Smith didn't produce much yardage, leaving that to Kenneth Walker and the backfield during a game in which Seattle never trailed, he was sharp when he needed to be and hit backup tight ends Colby Parkinson and Tyler Mabry for touchdowns in the first and second quarters. He's now one passing TD shy of 30 for the year, and with the Seahawks still alive in the race for a playoff spot, Smith might need to continue his remarkable comeback season for one more game in Week 18 against the Rams.

Middling performance in loss
Smith completed 25 of 40 pass attempts for 215 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs. He added 16 rushing yards on three attempts.
Analysis: Smith turned in one of his poorer fantasy performances in an otherwise impressive 2022 campaign. The 32-year-old has struggled in recent weeks, averaging 239.0 passing yards while throwing three interceptions over his last three games. Things don't get any easier for Smith in Week 17 with a stout Jets defense on deck. In positive news, the veteran signal-caller may get explosive wideout Tyler Lockett (finger) back for next Sunday's tilt.

Solid numbers in loss
Smith completed 31 of 44 passes for 238 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding an 18-yard rush on his one attempt in the Seahawks' 21-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Seattle.
Analysis: Smith's final numbers were adequate from a fantasy perspective -- especially against an elite defense -- but he ultimately wasn't able to help the Seahawks keep up with the Brock Purdy-led 49ers offense. The veteran signal-caller continued to demonstrate excellent chemistry with his top receiving duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett -- who suffered a broken finger in the contest -- and he also connected with Noah Fant for a 10-yard touchdown with 3:35 remainiing. However, the Seattle defense was…read more

Inconsistent in defeat
Smith completed 21 of 36 passes for 264 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers. He also rushed three times for 20 yards.
Analysis: Smith was picked off on his first throw of the game, setting the stage for an uneven performance. The signal-caller was intercepted another time in the first half, but Smith still distributed the ball relatively well, as each of his top three receivers (DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Marquise Goodwin) caught at least five passes for 60 yards and a touchdown. With a second straight three-score game, Smith carries decent recent form into a tricky Week 15 matchup Thursday night versus the 49ers.

Cleared for Week 14
Smith (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The right shoulder issue that resulted in Smith's practice reps being capped Thursday won't prevent him from playing this weekend, but the signal-caller could have to get by without some key weapons at his disposal. Most notably, starting wideout DK Metcalf (hip), lead back Kenneth Walker (ankle) and top tight end Will Dissly (calf) are listed as questionable after their respective injuries affected their practice participation this week.

Analysis: Like wide receiver DK Metcalf (hip), Smith is showing up on the Seahawks' second injury report of Week 14 after avoiding it entirely Wednesday. It's notable that Smith is dealing with an issue to his throwing arm, but with one practice to go Friday he has a chance to put any questions about his playing status behind him ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Career-best effort against Rams
Smith completed 28 of 39 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The 367 yards were a career high for Smith, who overcame a huge revenge game from former Seahawk Bobby Wagner that included two sacks and an INT to engineer a comeback win. After the Rams took a 23-20 lead with just under three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Smith led a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended in a DK Metcalf touchdown reception with only 36 seconds left on the clock.

Big effort wasted Sunday
Smith completed 27 of 37 passes for 328 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: He added 22 rushing yards on five carries but also lost a fumble. Smith found Tyler Lockett in the second quarter and Travis Homer in the fourth for his TDs, with the latter giving the Seahawks a late lead, but the defense wasn't able to make it hold up. The passing yards were a season high for Smith, and he's tossed exactly two touchdowns in five straight games heading into a Week 13 clash with the Rams.

Efficient in loss
Smith completed 23 of his 33 passes for 275 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 21-16 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Smith had a costly fumble deep in Tampa Bay territory late in the third quarter, which was a contributing cause to Seattle's loss. However, he was strong from a fantasy perspective, averaging 8.3 yards per attempt while also connecting for scores of 21 and 19 yards. Smith now has multiple touchdown throws in four consecutive games, and he has recorded exactly 275 passing yards in two straight contests.

The 32-year-old boasts a 73.1 percent completion rate through his nine appearances thus far, with 2,199 passing yards and a 15:4 TD:INT ratio, plus one more score on the ground.

Two more TDs in Week 9 win
Smith completed 26 of 34 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals. He added 38 rushing yards on six carries.
Analysis: The interception was turned into a pick-six by Zaven Collins, but otherwise it was another impressive performance from Smith. The veteran quarterback has tossed multiple TDs in seven of nine games, giving him a 15:4 TD:INT on the season and plenty of momentum as the Seahawks carry a four-game winning streak into a Week 10 clash with the Buccaneers in Germany.

Smith completed 23 of 34 passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants. He added 26 rushing yards on five carries.
Analysis: The game was a tight defensive battle until the fourth quarter, when Smith broke open a 13-13 tie with a 33-yard TD strike to Tyler Lockett. The veteran QB has tossed multiple touchdowns in six of eight games so far this season en route to a sharp 13:3 TD:INT, but in Week 9 he faces a Cardinals secondary that kept him out of the end zone entirely in their first meeting.

Smith has tossed multiple TDs in five of seven games, helping him amass a sharp 11:3 TD:INT heading into a Week 8 clash with the Giants.

Slowed by Arizona
Smith completed 20 of 31 passes for 197 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 19-9 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Smith helped the Seahawks to victory, though he was unable to continue his extremely efficient performances. After averaging 10.7 yards per attempt in each of his last two games, Smith managed a mark of just 6.4 yards per attempt against Arizona. He also failed to throw for a touchdown for the second time this season, resulting in a disappointing performance. Smith should be in a positive game environment to rebound in a Week 8 matchup against the Chargers.

Stays hot in loss
Smith completed 16 of 25 passes for 268 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 39-32 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Smith attempted a season-low 25 pass attempts, though that was largely because he helped Seattle's offense score so efficiently. He shredded the Saints' secondary for long touchdowns of 50, 40 and 35 yards to keep his team in the game in a high-scoring affair. Through five games this season, Smith has thrown multiple touchdowns four times and has topped 250 passing yards in each of his last three matchups.

The 2013 second-round pick completed 76.7 percent of his throws for his fourth showing of over 70.0 percent in as many games to open the season, with his three total scores on the day coming via an eight-yard rush along with 17- and two-yard touchdown tosses to tight ends Will Dissly and Noah Fant, respectively.

Analysis: Smith was able to wake up Seattle's offense following last week's dud against the 49ers, when the team's only touchdown was via special teams. The veteran quarterback was able to get both of his talented wideouts involved, throwing double-digit targets to DK Metcalf (five catches, 64 yards and a touchdown) and Tyler Lockett (nine receptions for 76 yards).

Smith completed 24 of 30 passes for 197 yards and an interception in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: He also gained two yards on two carries. For the second straight start, Smith was accurate but didn't produce much yardage. Unlike Week 1, however, he wasn't able to get the ball into the end zone while also committing a turnover. The veteran QB is proving to be competent game manager as Seattle's starter but little more, and he may need to step things up in Week 3 against a Falcons team that's averaged 26.5 points through its first two games.

Wins starting QB job
Head coach Pete Carroll announced Friday that Smith will start at quarterback Week 1 against Denver, Liz Matthews of USA Today reports. Smith was 3-for-6 passing for 43 yards and led the Seahawks to a field goal in his lone series in Friday's preseason loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Smith got the first QB reps in all three preseason games and beat out Drew Lock to take over the starting job vacated by the offseason trade of Russell Wilson. Smith likely will need to play well early in the season to keep the job, however.

Dealing with knee bruise
Smith suffered a knee bruise in Thursday's preseason matchup against the Bears, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Smith got banged up on a scramble in the first quarter and was spotted with a bag of ice on his knees afterward. However, coach Pete Carroll told reporters that Smith could have returned to action if necessary, but with Drew Lock (illness) also sidelined there was no need for the Seahawks to risk further loss to their quarterback depth chart. Prior to leaving the exhibition contest, Smith completed 10 of 18 passes for 112 yards.

May have knee injury
Smith was spotted on the sideline to begin the second half of Thursday's preseason game versus the Bears with a wrap and ice bag on his right knee, Tim Booth of the Associated Press reports. The 10th-year quarterback finished the contest 10-for-18 passing for 112 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions.
Analysis: After Drew Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, Smith earned a second consecutive start to kick off the Seahawks' exhibition slate. Through the entire process of the quarterback battle in Seattle, coach Pete Carroll has maintained that Smith is the team's No. 1 signal-caller, but with both players seemingly tending to health concerns, it stands to reason Carroll may delay announcing who will be under center Week 1. The Seahawks have one more preseason outing remaining on Friday, Aug.…read more

Likely starting Thursday
Smith is expected to start Thursday's preseason game against the Bears after Drew Lock tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After handling first-team reps at Tuesday's practice and then being announced as the Seahawks' starting quarterback for the second preseason game by coach Pete Carroll, Lock will be unavailable to practice or play for at least the next five days. As a result, Smith -- who remains the team's No. 1 QB on the depth chart -- should get some more work with the top available skill-position players Thursday before handing the offense over to Jacob Eason.

Still No. 1 quarterback
Smith won't start Thursday's preseason contest against the Bears, but he remains the No. 1 quarterback on the Seahawks' depth chart, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: For the first time since training camp kicked off, Smith yielded all the reps with the first-team offense to Drew Lock at Tuesday's practice as Lock prepares to get the start in the team's second exhibition game. In the preseason opener, Smith worked the first half while Lock handled every snap after halftime, so the duo could reverse roles Thursday.

Tops 100 yards in preseason start
Smith completed 10 of 15 pass attempts for 101 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing twice for nine yards and a touchdown during the Seahawks' 32-25 preseason loss to the Steelers on Saturday.
Analysis: Smith operated as the starting quarterback during Saturday's preseason opener and played the entire first half. While he didn't pass for any touchdowns, he showcased his rushing ability with a score on the ground late in the second quarter. Although Drew Lock has outplayed Smith in practice in recent days, Smith has worked mainly with the first-team offense early in camp and turned in a solid performance during the preseason opener.

Tabbed as preseason starter
Smith will start Seattle's preseason opener Saturday against Pittsburgh, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Drew Lock reportedly outplayed Smith by a wide margin in Seattle's mock game Tuesday, but it won't be enough to flip the depth chart, at least not yet. Smith has taken most of the first-team reps this summer, after completing 65 of 95 passes for 702 yards, five touchdowns and one interception in four games last season. The numbers are impressive at first glance, but Smith also took 13 sacks for 117 yards and added only 42 yards rushing. No qualified passer had a sack rate worse than 11.8…read more

Listed atop depth chart
Smith is listed with the first-string offense on Seattle's initial preseason depth chart, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Smith started the Seahawks' team scrimmage last Saturday, and the first depth chart of the preseason seems to reflect that he remains ahead of Drew Lock in the quarterback competition. During last week's scrimmage, Lock helmed the second-team offense. Seattle's preseason opener, Aug. 13 in Pittsburgh, will serve as the first of three upcoming contests to help fully settle the competition between Smith and Lock ahead of Week 1.

Struggles in team scrimmage
Smith completed 10 of 19 passes for 94 yards (4.9 YPA) in Saturday's team scrimmage, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Smith played nearly the entire game with the first-team offense against the second-team defense. Meanwhile, Drew Lock operated with the second-team offense and played against the first-team defense, and he managed to complete 18 of 27 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown. Head coach Pete Carroll mostly avoided making any judgements about the quarterback competition in his press conference, but Lock clearly outperformed Smith on Saturday, even if the former's stat line was merely mediocre.

Taking first-team reps
Smith handled all the first-team reps during Wednesday's practice while Drew Lock practiced with the second team, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. "Geno is in the lead," head coach Pete Carroll said. "He's ahead and he ain't looking back."
Analysis: Carroll admitted that Lock still has an opportunity to win the starting job, but he seems optimistic that Smith can secure the starting role by the end of the preseason. Smith was serviceable over four games (three starts) last season, as he completed 68 percent of his passes for 702 yards (7.4 YPA), five touchdowns and an interception. He also ran nine times for 42 yards and a score. The run game figures to be the focal point of Seattle's offense, but Smith will have some excellent receiving…read more

Holds slight lead after minicamp
Head coach Pete Carroll said following the last day of mandatory minicamp Thursday that Smith is ahead of Drew Lock in the quarterback competition, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Smith had the early edge heading into the offseason program because he had a three-year head start on Lock in Seattle's system. Nevertheless, Carroll reiterated that Lock isn't too far behind, signaling that this battle will extend into training camp. Neither Smith nor Lock is considered a difference-maker under center, so the Seahawks will need to protect the ball to win games this season. Whichever quarterback can avoid turnovers in camp and the preseason has the best chance to emerge…read more

Early edge in QB competition
Given his experience and familiarity with the Seahawks offense, Smith has an early edge on Drew Lock in the team's ongoing quarterback competition, Gregg Bell of the Seattle News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron acknowledged that there's "a long time to go" before a final call is made on the team's Week 1 starting QB, but unless the team makes a move for another signal caller, Russell Wilson's replacement will be either Smith or Lock. Per Waldron, "right now, Geno has done such a good job of carrying over (the offensive principles from 2021). He already had a head start over Drew right there." That said, Waldron noted that he likes Lock's "ability to make every throw…read more

Competing for starting job
Smith is expected to compete with Drew Lock and Jacob Eason for the starting quarterback job after the Seahawks didn't select a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks decided to use all nine of their draft picks to reinforce other positions, signaling that they're content with letting Smith, Lock and, to a lesser extent, Eason battle for the starting job this summer. Smith, 32, played four games (three starts) while Russell Wilson was rehabbing a finger injury last season. He won just one game and completed 68.4 percent of his passes for 702 yards (7.4 YPA), five touchdowns and an interception while adding another 42 yards and a score on the…read more

Has contract reworked
The NFL disapproved the contract Smith signed with the Seahawks on April 14, but the issue was amended Tuesday, and the new terms were approved Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per Rapoport, Smith will have a base salary of $3.5 million in 2022, with the potential for $3.5 million more in incentives. The 31-year-old is a candidate to replace Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback after Seattle dealt the franchise signal-caller to Denver back in March. As a part of that trade, the Seahawks received Drew Lock, and the team still could add to the quarterback room this offseason via the draft or another acquisition. As it stands, Smith has the most experience in the…read more

Back with Seahawks
The Seahawks have re-signed Smith, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Per Condotta, Smith's one-year deal with Seattle carries a base value in the $4 million range, plus incentives. Now that he's back in the fold, Smith bolsters a QB group that also currently includes Drew Lock and Jacob Eason. It's still possible that the Seahawks could add a veteran option such as Baker Mayfield or draft a signal-caller later this month, but for now Smith figures to have a chance to compete for the vacated starting spot created by the offseason trade of Russell Wilson.

Arrested on suspicion of DUI
Smith was arrested Monday in King County, Wash. on suspicion of DUI, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. "Geno is fully cooperative with the investigation. I hope that an open mind can be kept by all as the facts are ascertained," Smith's attorney Jon Fox said in a statement regarding the incident.
Analysis: Smith was arrested at 2:10 a.m. local time and released from a King County correctional facility at 9:27 a.m. on his personal recognizance. Head coach Pete Carroll relayed that Smith was present at the Seahawks facility later Monday to take part in end-of-season meetings, so the team will presumably leave it to the NFL to decide whether the 31-year-old quarterback is subject to a fine and/or suspension. Smith, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, appeared in four games…read more

Returns to No. 2 role
Smith will serve as the backup quarterback behind starter Russell Wilson (finger) in Sunday's game against the Packers after the latter was activated from injured reserve Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Smith started the last three contests in place of Wilson, who missed the first games of his career after suffering an injury to his right middle finger Oct. 7 that required surgery. At the time he underwent surgery, Wilson was expected to be sidelined for roughly six weeks, but the eight-time Pro Bowler healed quicker than anticipated and performed well enough in practice this week for Seattle to sign off on him playing. Wilson's return should represent a boon to the Seattle offense and all its…read more

Highly efficient in win
Smith completed 20 of 24 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars. He also rushed twice for eight yards and a score.
Analysis: In his third consecutive start, Smith notched his first win since the 2017 season when he was playing for the Jets, and he completed 83 percent of his passes with 8.1 yards per attempt in the process. This was easily Smith's best showing of the season, as he totaled 376 passing yards and two touchdowns over his previous two starts. It's still unclear whether Russell Wilson (finger) will return after the bye week for a Week 10 matchup against the Packers.

Unable to get offense going
Smith completed 12 of 22 pass attempts for 167 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 13-10 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Smith got off to a great start when he placed a perfect deep ball to hit DK Metcalf in stride for an 84-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but that's pretty much where his effectiveness ended. The veteran backup did protect the football and kept Seattle in the contest until its last drive, but he was promptly sacked twice (five times overall), ending any chance of a heroic comeback.

Smith completed 23 of 32 pass attempts for 209 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Smith got his first start with Seattle in place of the injured Russell Wilson (finger), and the results were mixed. The 31-year-old struggled mightily in the first half, failing to lead the Seahawks to any points before halftime. The veteran got things rolling in the second half to bring his team back to a tie at the end of regulation, but it was his lost fumble that led to the game-deciding field goal by Chris Boswell.

Starting opportunity likely coming
Smith is in line to step in as Seattle's starting quarterback beginning with the team's Week 6 game at Pittsburgh with Russell Wilson (finger) expected to be sidelined for at least a month, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After exiting Thursday's loss to the Rams, the ultra-durable Wilson was diagnosed with a ruptured middle finger tendon on his right hand, an injury that will likely keep him out for anywhere from a month to 6-to-8 weeks. Seattle may look to the trade market or free agency for another veteran replacement, but for now, Smith looks set to quarterback a team with legitimate playoff aspirations for the first time in his nine-year career. Smith acquitted himself reasonably well while filling in for…read more

Smith entered the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night in place of Russell Wilson (finger) with 14:42 remaining and completed 10 of 17 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Analysis: Smith immediately caught the Rams' attention by leading the Seahawks on a 10-play, 98-yard scoring march that he capped off with a 23-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf to bring Seattle within two points at the time. After Los Angeles countered with a touchdown drive, Smith was able to get his squad into field-goal range and keep matters interesting until he threw an interception on the first play of his third possession, one that seemed to be at least partly the result of intended receiver…read more

Analysis: Smith cleared concussion protocol Friday so is available to play.

Alex McGough and Sean Mannion are slated to see the majority of the time under center in this contest.

Smith completed four of five passes for 33 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Smith took the field for the first time since 2018, as Russell Wilson was rested in the fourth quarter after generating a comfortable lead. He was predictably rusty, getting sacked once and botching a snap. The 30-year-old only threw short passes, too. It was nevertheless important to get Wilson's backup some work before the postseason begins.
