Dallas carried 35 times for 186 yards and caught 17 of 19 targets for 126 yards through 15 games during the 2022 season. He also returned 14 punts for 102 yards and 12 kicks for 270 yards.
What it means:
When the whole backfield was healthy, Dallas was often left out of the rotation, but when Rashaad Penny (leg) and Travis Homer (ankle) went down with injuries, Dallas got some run and was effective. After posting 3.2 and 4.2 yards per carry, respectively, through his first two NFL seasons, Dallas logged an efficient 5.3 yards per carry in 2022. Dallas is entering the final year of his contract in 2023 and is a good bet to make the team, especially if Homer and Penny leave in free agency.
Dallas (ankle/quadriceps) is listed as active Saturday at San Francisco.
What it means:
Despite being capped to a pair of limited practices before this wild-card matchup due to ankle and quad injuries, Dallas will be available to the Seahawks offense. With Travis Homer (ankle) on injured reserve, Dallas doesn't have much competition for reps behind starting running back Kenneth Walker, as Godwin Iqwebuike is the only other option that's active Saturday. Over the last three games, such a role has amounted to 11 carries for 82 yards and 10 catches (on 11 targets) for 84 yards and no TDs for Dallas.
Dallas (ankle/quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
What it means:
Prior to Seattle handing him a designation, Dallas missed Tuesday's walkthrough before sitting out again Wednesday due to ankle and quadriceps injuries. He's been able to play in each of the past three games with little to no practice reps, and Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reported Tuesday that there's an expectation that Dallas plays this weekend. In the end, Dallas' status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's available, he'll be a complementary option in the Seahawks backfield behind starter Kenneth Walker.
Seahawks' DeeJay Dallas (ankle, quad) questionable for Wild Card
What it means:
Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle, quad) is questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Dallas is dealing with ankle and quad injuries and is questionable to face the 49ers on Saturday. If he is available, our models expect him to handle 3.1 carries and catch 1.5 passes. Kenneth Walker (ankle) is available.
numberFire's models project Dallas for 3.7 FanDuel points against the 49ers.
Dallas (ankle/quadriceps) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
What it means:
Dallas has kicked off preparations for Saturday's wild-card game in San Francisco with back-to-back listed DNPs, but there's an expectation that he'll be able to suit up this weekend, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. A return to the practice field Thursday would be a sign in the right direction for Dallas, but Thursday's injury report will reveal as much. If he's active Saturday, he'll serve as the direct backup to Kenneth Walker (ankle) with Travis Homer (ankle) on injured reserve, which has amounted to 21 touches for 166 yards and no TDs for Dallas over the last three outings.
Dallas (ankle/quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
What it means:
Though Dallas was off the field for the start of prep for Saturday's wild-card game in San Francisco, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune relays that the running back is fully expected to suit up this weekend. After Travis Homer (ankle) was moved to injured reserve prior to last week's regular-season finale, Dallas took over as the top change-of-pace option behind lead back Kenneth Walker in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams. Dallas played 11 of the Seahawks' 70 snaps on offense and finished with two carries for 29 yards and one catch for minus-3 yards.
