Overview
- Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Shaheed sustained a concussion against Carolina and entered the NFL’s protocol with no timetable for return.
- Shaheed left after being driven out of bounds by Panthers cornerback Mike Jackson and was ruled out early in the third quarter.
- Macdonald said the Seahawks will follow up with the NFL to understand how the play was officiated and to address player-safety concerns.
- Seattle adjusted on special teams with Cam Akers and Dareke Young on kick returns, and Jake Bobo is a punt option, while receiver Cody White faces "some time" out with a groin injury.
- The NFC West title will be decided Saturday at San Francisco, with Macdonald noting early signs for Shaheed "seem" positive but emphasizing availability depends on protocol and midweek participation.
