Overview
- Head coach Mike Macdonald said Horton’s shin injury needs extended time and rest, so the team is planning to be without him through the postseason.
- The rookie wideout has been on injured reserve since early November after a Week 9 breakout performance against Washington.
- Seattle traded Day 3 picks for Rashid Shaheed within days of Horton’s setback, and he has handled receiving and return roles with key special-teams touchdowns.
- Shaheed cleared concussion protocol this week and is expected to play Saturday night at San Francisco.
- The Seahawks have one IR-return slot left for the regular season plus two more in the postseason, with LT Charles Cross targeting the playoff opener and OT Josh Jones questionable for Week 18.
