Tory Horton: Everything you need to know

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Horton (shin/groin) is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Horton won't be 100 percent healthy for spring activates due to his rehab from offseason surgery undergone to address the lower-body injuries that prevented him from suiting up after Week 9 of last season, but the 2025 fifth-round pick should be back on the field by late July. Across eight appearances as a rookie, Horton secured 13 of 23 targets for 161 yards and five touchdowns.

Head coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Horton (shin/groin) "got fixed up" and won't be available for the start of the Seahawks' offseason program in the spring, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Macdonald's comments would seem to imply that Horton had surgery to address the lower-body injuries that kept him sidelined from Week 10 through the end of the Seahawks' postseason run. Horton still appears on track to be ready to go for the start of training camp in late July, but he may not fully participate in OTAs or minicamp. Before getting hurt, the 2025 fifth-round pick had produced a 13-161-5 receiving line on 23 targets and recorded a 95-yard punt-return touchdown over his eight appearances as a rookie.

Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that the Seahawks "are planning on not having" Horton (shin) for the postseason, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports. Upon his placement on injured reserve Nov. 22, Horton was required to sit out through at least Week 16, but with Week 18 here and Macdonald saying otherwise, it appears his bid to return isn't a possibility due to a shin injury that "just takes a long time to heal." Prior to landing on IR, Horton, a fifth-round rookie, flashed at times en route to a 13-161-5 line on 23 targets in eight regular-season appearances.
