Cody White Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Colts vs Seahawks game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Dec 1, 2025
One grab in win
White caught his lone target for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
White recorded his first catch since Week 9 and his second of the season in the blowout win. He has totaled just 25 total snaps over the last two weeks, and his usage should remain limited as long as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed are healthy.
Nov 24, 2025
No targets once again
White wasn't targeted in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Sam Darnold attempted 26 passes, and with 10 of those going towards Jaxon Smith-Njigba, it was difficult for White to get into the mix while playing just 10 offensive snaps. He'll continue to operate as the No. 4 wide receiver in the Week 13 game versus the Vikings.
Nov 8, 2025
Elevated for Week 10
White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ari Horton of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White has now been elevated for a second consecutive week, meaning he has one more elevation before he will need to be signed to the active roster to suit up. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for a 60-yard touchdown in this past Sunday's win over the Commanders, and will once again be used to fill some holes caused by injuries in the Seahawks' corps. With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) questionable, Tory Horton (groin/shin) doubtful, Jake Bobo (calf) out, and Dareke Young (quadriceps) on injured reserve, White will likely have to be a meaningful contributor for the Seahawks offense alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and new trade acquisition Rashid Shaheed.
Nov 3, 2025
Returns to practice squad
White reverted to Seattle's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
White was elevated ahead of Sunday's win over Washington and made a big impact, catching one of two targets for a 60-yard touchdown. He also logged 29 yards on one kick return and was even credited with a tackle following a Sam Darnold interception. White logged 36 of Seattle's 51 offensive snaps in the contest, finishing second among the team's wideouts behind Tory Horton (37), though Jaxon Smith-Njigba (34 offensive snaps) remains the no-doubt alpha among the WR corps. Wideouts Cooper Kupp (hamstring), Jake Bobo (Achilles) and Dareke Young (quadriceps) all missed the contest, and the health of that trio will likely go a long way toward determining White's likelihood of being elevated again moving forward.
Nov 1, 2025
Elevated for Week 9
White was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White has played five offensive snaps and six special teams snaps to this point in 2025, and will look to continue to accumulate playing time during the Seahawks' Week 9 matchup with the Commanders. The 26-year-old wide receiver was elevated to fill in on special teams for the injured Dareke Young and Jake Bobo, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Oct 10, 2025
Back with Seattle
The Seahawks signed White to the practice squad Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
White has been bouncing between the Seahawks' practice squad and active roster through the first six weeks of the season. He's played five offensive snaps and six on special teams to this point in 2025.
Oct 9, 2025
Released by Seattle
The Seahawks released White on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
White has been doing this song and dance all season, bouncing around the active roster and practice squad while also getting released in between. He's appeared in just one game in 2025, seeing five snaps on offense and another six on special teams.
Oct 5, 2025
Inactive for Week 5
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
White will be a healthy scratch for a second straight week, and his next opportunity to see the field is Week 6 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Oct. 12. Jake Bobo and Dareke Young will provide depth at wide receiver while White is sidelined.
Sep 25, 2025
Healthy scratch for TNF
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
White was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Tuesday, but he'll observe Thursday's game in street clothes. His next opportunity to play will be Week 5 against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Oct. 5.
Sep 23, 2025
Back with Hawks' active roster
The Seahawks signed White from the practice squad to the active roster Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
White has bounced back and forth between the Seahawks' practice squad and active roster, and Tuesday marked the second time in a week that he was signed to the 53-man roster. He played 11 snaps (five on offense, six on special teams) in the Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the 49ers and finished with 59 kick return yards on two attempts. White could serve in a kick return role alongside George Holani or Dareke Young now that he's back on the active roster.
Sep 19, 2025
Bounced back to practice squad
The Seahawks released White but signed him back to the practice squad Friday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White has had a whirlwind week, as he was signed to the Seahawks' active roster Wednesday. He'll now return to the practice squad, but is a candidate to be elevated ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Sep 17, 2025
Signed to active roster
The Seahawks signed White off the practice squad Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
With Tory Horton dealing with a groin issue that limited him in Wednesday's practice, White finds a spot on the 53-man roster with Seattle. The 26-year-old White has appeared in 21 career regular-season games and has secured eight of 10 targets for 79 scoreless yards. He'll provide wideout depth for the Seahawks.
Sep 12, 2025
Goes to practice squad
Seattle signed White to its practice squad Friday.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks had to release him from their active roster Thursday to make room for cornerback Shaquill Griffin, but White is now back with the team as a member of the practice squad. Seattle is only carrying five wide receivers on its 53-man roster, so he could be on the short list for a practice squad elevation for Week 2 and beyond.
Sep 11, 2025
Released by Seattle
The Seahawks released White on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran wideout is expected to sign with the team's practice squad. His 53-man roster spot went to Shaquill Griffin on Thursday, who was signed off the practice squad. In Week 1 against San Francisco, White played five offensive snaps and another six on special teams, returning two kickoffs for 59 yards.
Sep 5, 2025
Ready for Sunday
White (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite White opening Seattle's week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, he'll suit up for the team's regular-season opener Sunday. The Michigan State product appeared in four games with the Seahawks last season, catching two of his three targets for 44 yards while also contributing on special teams (49 snaps). White is expected to play a similar role ahead of the 2025 season.
Sep 3, 2025
Dealing with shoulder injury
White (shoulder) was a limited participant in Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White had a strong performance during the team's final preseason game but is now in jeopardy of missing the start of the regular season. The Seahawks could find themselves shorthanded at receiver for Sunday's matchup as Jake Bobo (concussion) and Dareke Young (hamstring) are both dealing with injuries as well.
Aug 24, 2025
Scores in preseason finale
White caught three of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
With the starters sitting out, White led all Seahawks receivers in receiving yards while scoring the team's only touchdown. The 26-year-old wideout is on the roster bubble, but his strong showing Saturday helps his cause against seventh-round rookie Ricky White.
Aug 8, 2025
No catches in preseason opener
White didn't catch either of his two targets in Thursday's 23-23 tie against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
White started the first half with Drew Lock but was unable to haul in a pass all game. The 26-year-old wideout played four games with the Seahawks last season and caught two passes (three targets) for 44 yards. He's on the roster bubble this season and is primarily competing with fourth-year Dareke Young and rookie Ricky White.
Mar 14, 2025
Back with Seattle
The Seahawks re-signed White on Friday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
White wasn't tendered by Seattle at the start of the new league year, but he nonetheless now re-signs with the team. He appeared in four regular-season games with the Seahawks in 2024, with all of his counting stats (two grabs for 44 yards on three targets) having come Week 9 versus the Rams. He'll spend the offseason competing for a depth spot at wide receiver.
Mar 12, 2025
Not tendered by Seattle
White became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday due to the Seahawks not extending a qualifying tender on his contract, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
White entered the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent, but he'll now be free to sign with another team due to the Seahawks not tendering his contract. White initially signed to Seattle's practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, but he was signed to the active roster in mid-November. He appeared in four regular-season games for the Seahawks in 2024, but his two catches (on three targets) for 44 yards all came against the Rams in Week 9.
Jan 5, 2025
Not playing in finale
White (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
White, whom Seattle signed off its practice squad in mid-November, will close the season as a healthy inactive for the fifth consecutive game. Before his recent streak of absences, the 26-year-old receiver appeared in four games for Seattle and recorded two catches for 44 yards on three targets over 59 snaps on offense.
Nov 16, 2024
Signed to active roster
The Seahawks signed White from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
White's lone elevation from the practice squad came in Week 9 against the Rams, when he caught two passes (on three targets) for 44 yards. White is unlikely to see much playing time on offense, especially with DK Metcalf returning from a two-game absence due to a knee injury, though the former could contribute on special teams.
Nov 4, 2024
Reverts to practice squad
White reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
White was elevated for Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Rams with DK Metcalf out with a knee injury, and he played on 35 of 80 offensive snaps, catching two of his three targets for 44 yards and no scores. Jaxon Smith-Ngiba (71 snaps), Tyler Lockett (71 snaps) and Jake Bobo (42 snaps) all played more than White on Sunday, though the call-up did play more than Dareke Young (six snaps) and Laviska Shenault (three snaps). White also played on 11 special-teams snaps and blocked a punt.
Nov 3, 2024
Elevated ahead of Week 9 contest
The Seahawks elevated White from their practice squad Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
If he's active Sunday, White will suit up for the first time since he played in one game for the Steelers in 2022. The 25-year-old spent part of last year on Seattle's practice squad but didn't get elevated at any point. White's elevation this weekend is tied to DK Metcalf being sidelined due to a knee injury.
Aug 28, 2024
Joins Hawks' practice squad
The Seahawks signed White to the practice squad Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
White spent portions of the 2023 season on the Seahawks' practice squad, but he did not play in a single regular-season game. He finished the preseason catching four passes (on nine targets) for 74 yards, but he wasn't able to crack Seattle's 53-man roster. White will stick around on the taxi squad and stay ready for a promotion to the active roster.
Aug 28, 2024
Let go by Seahawks
White was waived by the Seahawks on Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White signed with Seattle in January but was unable to earn a spot on the team's final roster. The 25-year-old will now look for a new opportunity elsewhere.
Jan 8, 2024
Lands reserve/future deal with SEA
The Seahawks signed White to a reserve/future contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White got into 15 games with Pittsburgh in 2021, but he's seen action in only one NFL contest since. The wideout had two stints with Seattle's practice squad in 2023 and apparently made enough of an impression for the organization to want to hang onto him through the offseason. White will get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.
Nov 27, 2023
Joins Seahawks' practice squad
The Seahawks signed White to their practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
A little more than a month after cutting White from their practice squad, Seattle has decided to bring him back into the fold ahead of Week 13. If 2022 seventh-rounder Dareke Young (abdomen) is unable to play, White could be elevated to the active roster as soon as Thursday at Dallas.
Oct 24, 2023
Cut from practice squad
White was let go from the Seahawks' practice squad Tuesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
White just signed with Seattle's practice unit last week, so his time there was short. He spent training camp with the Steelers before landing on injured reserve and subsequently reaching an injury settlement. The pass catcher will now need to find a new opportunity yet again.
Oct 18, 2023
Signed to practice squad
The Seahawks signed White to their practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White will now get another opportunity after being waived from Pittsburgh's injured reserve with a settlement in August. The Seahawks are currently in need of help at receiver as both DK Metcalf (ribs) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) are dealing with injuries.
Aug 25, 2023
Agrees on injury settlement
White (undisclosed) and the Steelers reached an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
White was originally waived/injured by Pittsburgh before ultimately going unclaimed. From there, he reverted to the team's injured reserve and was looking at a 2023 season on the sideline. He will now have the opportunity to play again this year once his health is back up to par. The 24-year-old has been with Pittsburgh since entering the league in 2021. Both as a member of the 53-man roster and on the team's practice squad.
Aug 22, 2023
Reverts to IR
White (undisclosed) reverted to the Steelers' injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
White went unclaimed after getting waived with an injury designation. He is now set to miss the entire 2023 season unless both he and the team can reach an injury settlement at some point down the lane. The nature of his injury is unclear at this point in time.
Aug 21, 2023
Waived/injured by Steelers
The Steelers waived White (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The nature of White's injury is not clear at this time. If he ends up clearing waivers then he will revert to the Steelers' injured reserve. From there his season will be over unless both he and the team reach an injury settlement at some point down the line.
Jan 10, 2023
Sticking with Steelers
White signed a reserve/future contract with Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White made one appearance during his second campaign with the Steelers in 2022. The 24-year-old spent the entirety of the season of the team's practice squad, though he was elevated for the Week 12 win versus Indianapolis and logged one reception for two yards. White will now look to work his way back onto the active roster heading into the 2023 season.
Nov 30, 2022
Bumps back down to practice squad
White reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
White was activated for the first time ahead of Monday's win over the Colts, and he wound up catching his lone target for two yards during his NFL debut. The undrafted rookie still played just 10 of his 19 snaps on offense with fifth-string wideout Miles Boykin (oblique) inactive Week 12. White will now be eligible for two more elevations while with Pittsburgh's practice squad this season.
Nov 28, 2022
Promoted from practice squad
White was elevated from the practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
White will now have a chance to suit up with the Steelers on Monday against the Colts. With Miles Boykin (oblique) questionable, he may be insurance in case Boykin can't play, or it's possible the 24-year-old may have earned the opportunity with his performance in practice.
Sep 1, 2022
Back in Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed White to their practice squad Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White caught four of six targets for 19 yards in three preseason games with the Steelers. He was waived in the final phase of roster cuts but will now return to the team as depth at wide receiver.
Aug 30, 2022
Waived by Steelers
White was waived by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White failed to make the final roster after spending 15 games with the Steelers in 2021. The wide receiver caught five passes for 33 yards last season and will likely return to the Steelers' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
Jan 10, 2022
Limited impact in 2021
White secured five of six targets for 33 yards during the 2021 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Even though JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) was forced to miss most of the regular season, White failed to establish consistent playing time during his first professional campaign. Regardless of where he plays in 2022, the undrafted free agent appears unlikely to be a fantasy-relevant option.
Dec 26, 2021
Three catches in Week 16
White hauled in all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
The Steelers rested some of their starters late in Sunday's blowout loss, so White drew some targets in the closing minutes. The 23-year-old has played primarily on special teams this year and is unlikely to see much offensive work across the final two games of the season.
Oct 9, 2021
Added to 53-man roster
White was signed to the Steelers' 53-man roster Saturday, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
White saw minimal playing time as part of the active roster in each of the last two games, but he hauled in both of his targets for 17 yards. He's unlikely to have a significant snap count against Denver on Sunday, even with James Washington (groin) sidelined.
Oct 5, 2021
Reverts to practice squad
White reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
ANALYSIS
White played two snaps on offense and one snap on special teams during Sunday's loss to the Packers. He didn't record any official stats.
Oct 2, 2021
Elevated to active roster
The Steelers elevated White to their active roster from the practice squad Saturday.
ANALYSIS
White was elevated to the active roster ahead of Week 3 and made his NFL debut, catching two passes for 17 yards. Diontae Johnson (knee) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (ribs) are both expected to play in Week 4, but Chase Claypool (hamstring) has already been ruled out. White's role will likely be limited, but he should still garner a few opportunities against the Packers. The 22-year-old wideout will revert back to Pittsburgh's practice squad after the game.
Sep 27, 2021
Back to practice squad
White reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday according to the NFL transactions log.
ANALYSIS
White was elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Bengals. He saw some increased opportunity with Diontae Johnson (knee) inactive and Juju Smith-Schuster (ribs) forced to exit in the middle of the game. White took advantage by logging the first two receptions of his career, which went for 17 yards.
Sep 25, 2021
Elevated to active roster
The Steelers elevated White from their practice squad Saturday.
ANALYSIS
White has a chance to make his NFL debut after being elevated by the Steelers for Sunday's contest against the Bengals. The 23-year-old wideout will operate as a depth option with Diontae Johnson (knee) inactive. After the contest, he will revert back to the practice squad without having to pass through waivers.
Aug 31, 2021
Let go by the Steelers
White was cut by the Steelers on Tuesday, Ed Bouchette of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted wide receiver was unable to make a roster in 2020 and this time around didn't make the Steelers' initial 53-man roster. To date, the 22-year-old Michigan State product has yet to make an NFL regular season appearance.
Jan 14, 2021
Lands future contract
The Steelers signed White to a reserve/future contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
White spent time with the Broncos and Giants last offseason, but he's still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut. The former Michigan State standout will continue his development in Pittsburgh this offseason.
Sep 6, 2020
Let go by Denver
White was waived by the Broncos on Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White was claimed off waivers after he was let go by the Giants in August, but failed to make an impression. The Michigan State product will likely have to battle for a depth roster spot or a practice squad role for 2020 elsewhere around the league.
Aug 24, 2020
Headed to Denver
White agreed on a contract with Denver on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White was let go by the Giants last week but didn't have to wait long to find a new team. In his final collegiate season with Michigan State in 2019, White racked up 66 catches for 922 yards and six touchdowns. He'll likely have to battle for one of the final spots on the roster or a practice squad role for 2020.
Aug 16, 2020
Cut by Giants
The Giants waived White on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
White had an impressive final collegiate season with Michigan State, recording 66 catches for 922 yards and six touchdowns. The undrafted rookie wide receiver only spent a week with the Giants, and he has nearly a month to find a new team before season openers begin.
Aug 9, 2020
Signing with Giants
The Giants are slated to sign White.
ANALYSIS
White, who was waived by the Chiefs on July 29, after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State, will now look to secure a role with the Giants as a depth wideout or returner.
Jul 28, 2020
Clears waivers
White cleared waivers Monday, after the Chiefs let him go with a non-football injury designation.
ANALYSIS
There hasn't been any report on the nature of White's injury. The undrafted rookie signed with Kansas City in late April, after putting up 922 yards and six touchdowns for Michigan State last season.
