Seahawks Set Rashid Shaheed Debut With Receiver Depth Stretched for Week 10

Injuries to multiple receivers leave Seattle planning for immediate snaps from its midweek trade acquisition.

Overview

  • Seattle traded fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Saints for Rashid Shaheed, who arrived midweek and is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, including in the return game, per coach Mike Macdonald.
  • Cooper Kupp is listed as questionable but practiced fully Friday, while Tory Horton (groin/shin) and linebacker Ernest Jones IV (knee) are doubtful and tight end A.J. Barner is questionable after a full practice.
  • Jake Bobo (calf) and Dareke Young (hip/quad) were ruled out, and cornerback Josh Jobe will miss the game with a concussion.
  • With depth thinned at wide receiver, Seattle may turn to practice-squad options, and if Kupp is limited the only healthy wideouts on the 53-man roster are Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Shaheed.
  • Coaches say Shaheed’s familiarity with coordinator Klint Kubiak’s offense should speed his integration, and he arrives with 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns this season.
