Rashid Shaheed was listed as a full participant on the Seahawks’ Week 10 injury report Wednesday, providing a boost as Seattle readies for its matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks received a positive update Wednesday, Nov. 11, with wide receiver Rashid Shaheed taking a significant step toward returning for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Shaheed, who missed Seattle’s previous two games with a knee injury, was listed as a full participant on the team’s official Week 10 injury report. The report indicated he was practicing without limitations at the start of the week, though his return was described as not official.
The timing of Shaheed’s progress is notable for Seattle’s offense, which is also managing other injuries. Quarterback Sam Darnold was confirmed to miss another game due to quadriceps and rib injuries, and Drew Lock was expected to make his second consecutive start.
Seattle’s recent results and current lineup context include a 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 8. Shaheed’s potential return would add another option for Lock in the passing game and could also provide flexibility on special teams.
The Seahawks also received an encouraging update on outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who had missed the past two games with an ankle injury and participated on a limited basis Wednesday.
Elsewhere on the injury report, seven players did not participate Wednesday: Darnold (quadriceps/ribs), offensive tackle Charles Cross (ankle), guard Quenton Nelson (knee), defensive tackle Leonard Williams (stinger), defensive tackle Brandon Pili (back), wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (rest), and defensive tackle Jarran Reed (personal matter).
Nelson is ruled out for Sunday after undergoing a minor knee procedure earlier this week, while Cross’s availability remains uncertain. Williams continued recovering from his stinger.
Coach Mike Macdonald said on Nov. 9 that the team had not ruled anyone out yet, adding that players “need to make progress.”
At quarterback, Lock was limited Wednesday with right elbow and oblique injuries. The oblique injury occurred during Seattle’s Cardinals game after Lock entered the matchup with an existing elbow issue, and Macdonald still expected him to start against Las Vegas.
The Seahawks’ injury situation will be further clarified with two more practice reports before final game designations are set Friday. The evidence indicated Shaheed will need to make it through the remainder of the week to be cleared for the game.
