Eskridge (ribs) has been an active participant at the Seahawks' OTAs, Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire reports. Eskridge ended the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a ribs injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy at OTAs. The 27-year-old re-signed with Seattle in March after failing to record a reception over 16 offensive snaps in four games last season. The wide receiver has operated primarily as a return-specialist over the last two years, a role that he'll likely remain in with the Seahawks in 2024.

Eskridge (ribs) has been an active participant at the Seahawks' OTAs, Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire reports. Eskridge ended the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a ribs injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy at OTAs. The 27-year-old re-signed with Seattle in March after failing to record a reception over 16 offensive snaps in four games last season. The wide receiver has operated primarily as a return-specialist over the last two years, a role that he'll likely remain in with the Seahawks in 2024.
Eskridge (ribs) signed a one-year, $1.055 million contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 2021 second-round pick has been a massive disappointment given the draft capital invested, but Eskridge has proven to be a decent returner, registering 370 kick return yards over the past two years. The third-year wide receiver has yet to play a full season and most recently missed time last campaign due to a ribs injury that kept him out the final six contests.
Eskridge will sit out after he failed to log an offensive snap in last week's loss to the Ravens. The 2021 second-round pick has appeared in two games since serving a six-game suspension to begin the season, but he's yet to log a target this season. In his absence, Dareke Young and Jake Bobo will serve as Seattle's fourth and fifth wideouts behind starters DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Eskridge returned from his six-game suspension and shook off a knee injury to make his season debut Sunday. The 2021 second-round pick only played three offensive snaps. With Jake Bobo's emergence as the No. 4 receiver, Eskridge isn't expected to have much of an offensive impact this season.
