The Seattle Seahawks activated backup running back George Holani and rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo from injured reserve Friday. Both players missed significant time with injuries but return for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams. Holani provides depth behind Kenneth Walker III, while Arroyo adds another target in the passing game.

Their return is timely, as the Seahawks placed running back Zach Charbonnet and guard Bryce Cabeldue on injured reserve this week. Charbonnet, who led the team with 12 rushing touchdowns, suffered a season-ending torn ACL. Holani, who rushed for 73 yards and a score this season, now becomes the primary backup for the playoff run.

For the Rams, star outside linebacker Byron Young is expected to play despite knee soreness. Young leads the team with 12 sacks and has been managing the injury for weeks. His availability is crucial for Los Angeles's pass rush against a Seahawks offense that just scored 41 points in the divisional round.
