Seahawks Rule Out Tory Horton for Season, Shaheed Cleared for 49ers Decider

Left tackle Charles Cross remains out for Week 18, leaving Seattle’s protection plan unsettled.

Overview

  • Coach Mike Macdonald said the team is not planning on rookie WR Tory Horton returning this season due to a shin injury that has kept him on injured reserve since early November.
  • Return specialist and receiver Rashid Shaheed cleared concussion protocol with no game designation and is expected to play against San Francisco.
  • Starting LT Charles Cross was ruled out for the winner-take-all NFC West and No. 1 seed game, though Seattle expects him back for the playoffs.
  • Swing tackle Josh Jones is listed as questionable with knee and ankle issues, raising the possibility Seattle turns to a third option at left tackle.
  • WR Cody White went on injured reserve on Dec. 30 as Seattle manages depth and IR-return designations, with two additional postseason return spots available under NFL rules.
