The Seahawks are in line to sign Shenault, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Before landing on IR this past November due to an ankle injury, Shenault recorded 10 catches for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards, while also returning six kickoffs for 167 yards in eight regular-season games with the Panthers. Now presumably past his injury, the 2020 second-rounder will provide wideout depth for the Seahawks behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, though initially Shenault's primary impact figures to come as a returner.

The Seahawks are in line to sign Shenault, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Before landing on IR this past November due to an ankle injury, Shenault recorded 10 catches for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards, while also returning six kickoffs for 167 yards in eight regular-season games with the Panthers. Now presumably past his injury, the 2020 second-rounder will provide wideout depth for the Seahawks behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, though initially Shenault's primary impact figures to come as a returner.
After leaving this past Sunday's loss to Tennessee due to an ankle injury, Shenault remains bothered by the injury. If Shenault's able to recover by Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, he could work as a depth option out of the slot or in the backfield for the Panthers in interim head coach Chris Tabor's debut. Shenault will have two more opportunities to practice before the Panthers release their final injury report Friday.
Shenault briefly came back to Sunday's game after sustaining an ankle injury, but he will not return. He caught his only target for eight yards.
Shenault exited early in the first half, but he was able to return to the field to start the third quarter. His return should strengthen the Panthers' depth at receiver.
The wide receiver did not record a catch before exiting. Shenault has nine catches for 52 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards this season.
Coach Frank Reich said Friday that the Panthers will gradually increase Shenault's workload if he is able to return this weekend. The full practice suggests he's more likely than not to be back in action, but perhaps only as the fourth or fifth WR and without a role in the return game.
Shenault was able to log limited practices both Wednesday and Thursday, as he continues to nurse an ankle injury that's held him out of Carolina's last three games. The 2020 second-round pick out of Colorado will likely carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to log a full practice Friday.
Shenault has missed each of the Panthers' last three games, but his ability to get in a limited practice Wednesday should be a step in the right direction for the wideout. Considering the amount of time he's missed, he'll likely need to ramp up to a full participant Thursday or Friday if he's going to suit up Sunday against the Cowboys.
Shenault has missed two straight games since the Panthers' bye week due to an ankle injury sustained against the Dolphins in Week 6. His failure to participate in any way at the walk-through does not bode well for his chances to suit up on a short week. Still, more clarity will be gained as the week progresses.
