NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo was placed on injured reserve on Saturday and will miss the 2026 season.

On Friday, Bobo was carted off the field during the Seahawks’ joint practice with the Tennessee Titans with what coach Mike Macdonald called a serious right knee injury.

“Our heart goes out to Jake Bobo,” Macdonald said on Friday. “It seems like it’s going to be a serious knee. We’re going to get an image, but early returns, you know, just looks like it is a long-term injury. So, that’s unfortunate.”

The Seahawks signed wide receiver Julian Hicks to fill Bobo’s roster spot.

Bobo was hurt along the sideline with players from both teams taking a knee before a cart came onto the field. Bobo sat up and needed help getting onto the cart before riding off with his right leg outstretched.

The wide receiver going into his fourth NFL season has played 45 games, including 11 last season for Seattle along with three playoff games as the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Bobo, who earned a roster spot in 2023 as an undrafted rookie, has 34 receptions for 323 yards with three touchdowns in his career.
