Seahawks Designate Rookie TE Elijah Arroyo to Return to Practice Before Divisional Round

The move opens a 21-day evaluation window during the bye to gauge his readiness for a potential roster activation.

Overview

  • Seattle made the designation on Jan. 7, allowing Elijah Arroyo to rejoin practices after four games on injured reserve with a knee injury.
  • Under NFL rules, he can practice for up to 21 days without being added to the 53-man roster, and activation would require a separate roster move.
  • The Seahawks hold the NFC’s No. 1 seed and will host a divisional-round game on Jan. 17 or 18 with the opponent to be determined.
  • Arroyo, a 2025 second-round pick from Miami, logged 15 receptions for 179 yards and one touchdown in 13 games with four starts as a rookie.
  • His return to practice offers Seattle added tight end depth, with the team eyeing a chance to be closer to full strength at the position for the first time since October.
