The Seahawks listed no players as questionable or doubtful. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (ankle) and defensive tackle Leonard Williams (ankle) have no designation.

Dobbins stands Running back J.K. Dobbins, in his second season with Denver, does not appear on either the Broncos' practice reports or their final game-status list, so he carries no injury designation into Thursday's game.

Before last week's game against the Chargers, he told the Denver Post, as relayed by Pro Football Talk, that his start to the season was "a dark spot," while saying he felt healthy.
