Rashid Shaheed Debuts for Seahawks With Return Duty, Limited Offensive Work

Seattle is easing the former All-Pro returner into Klint Kubiak’s scheme following his midseason trade.

Overview

  • The newly acquired wideout was active in Week 10, returned the opening kickoff and logged a 10-yard carry as his first Seahawks touch.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said the staff has a specific plan for Shaheed as he acclimates, signaling a gradual expansion of his role.
  • Seattle traded 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Saints to land Shaheed ahead of the deadline.
  • The move addressed short-handed receiver depth caused by injuries to Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo and Dareke Young, while adding elite speed to the return game.
  • Shaheed reunites with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and arrives with 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns through nine games this season with New Orleans.
