In a Week 2 win against the Detroit Lions, Bobo caught his first regular-season NFL pass, gaining three yards on a toss from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith. Bobo caught his first regular-season NFL touchdown during the Week 3 victory over the Carolina Panthers when he came down with a 5-yard jump ball from Smith during the fourth quarter.

He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on August 22 with a knee injury.

"More Bobo" During training camp in 2023, running backs coach Chad Morton coined the phrase "More Bobo", which was quickly picked up by the locker room in recognition of his consistent performance and playmaking abilities. The phrase grew in popularity among both teammates and fans, with multiple teammates including starters Kenneth Walker III and Geno Smith, repeating it during press conferences; the Associated Press and the Seahawks organization noted the use of the #MoreBobo hashtag among fans.
