Overview
- With the Seahawks short on running backs, they put wide receiver Rashid Shaheed in the backfield and he had two carries for 33 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown.
- Coach Mike Macdonald said the package had been practiced in training camp and called the play "cool" because Shaheed added needed speed.
- Seattle’s depth hole stems from Jadarian Price being placed on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in January.
- The team added veteran Joe Mixon to the practice squad and signed Robert Henry Jr. from the Commanders’ practice squad to bolster the running-back room.
- Shaheed’s score underlines his value as a receiver and returner who can also make plays as a ballcarrier, but the new signings leave it unclear whether he will keep seeing situational rushing snaps.
