  "account": "Inglewood, California - On November 16, 2025, Seattle Seahawks fullback Robbie Ouzts was absent from practice for the second time. Head coach Mike Macdonald expressed the team's intention to gather more information regarding Ouzts' condition and promised an update soon. Ouzts had missed the last two games of the 2025 season due to a neck injury. While no direct connection is established between the two incidents, the recurring absence of Ouzts, coupled with his critical role in the running game, raises concerns. The fullback relies heavily on tackling opposing defenders to create space for the team's running plays. It is hoped that Ouzts will soon return to the field, ready to tackle opponents once again.\n\nIn a separate development, running back Jacardia Wright also sustained a leg injury during practice. However, there has been no update provided by Macdonald regarding Wright's status. Wright had missed a significant portion of the 2025 season due to a leg injury, and he is currently part of the backfield room, along with recovering Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh. Consequently, there will likely be a need for additional players to share the preseason workload.",
