The Holani Seahawks enter Week 5 with George Holani listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the 49ers after being limited in practice all week with knee and rib injuries. It leaves Seattle with one more selection decision to manage in a divisional matchup where depth at running back could matter.
The situation is part of a wider injury picture for the Seahawks, who have been balancing absences, returns and limited workloads across the week. On Wednesday, Holani was among the players limited in practice, alongside Irv Charles, Ernest Jones IV and Nehemiah Pritchett, while Leonard Williams participated as Seattle began preparations for the 49ers.
Leonard Williams set to return
By Thursday, Williams did not participate, Chazz Surratt was a non-participant and Ty Okada was a full participant for the second practice in a row. Then on Friday, Williams returned to practice and Mike Macdonald said he was “good to go,” describing him as ready to play and signalling that he should return to the lineup this week.
That is an important development for Seattle, because it gives the Seahawks a proven defender back at a time when the game carries extra weight. It also highlights the difference between a player being listed as questionable and one who has already been cleared to return.
What Holani’s status means
For Holani, the key issue is simply availability. He has not been ruled out, but the questionable tag means the Seahawks will have to wait until closer to kickoff before knowing whether he can contribute against the 49ers.
Seattle’s Week 5 report also shows the broader injury management picture around the roster. Some players are working back in, some are still limited, and others have already been ruled out or held out across the week as the Seahawks prepare for Sunday.
In practical terms, that means the Holani Seahawks will go into the game with at least one major update in hand and one unresolved call still hanging over the running back room. The final decision on Holani will be one of the last things to watch before the matchup begins.
