Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Tuesday that there's a chance Horton (shin/groin) can "do some stuff toward the end of spring," John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. The 23-year-old from Colorado State missed the Seahawks' final 12 games last season (including playoffs) due to lower-body injuries, and it now appears his recovery is going smoothly. Horton had a promising start to his NFL career, catching 13 of 23 targets for 161 yards and five touchdowns in just eight regular-season contests. He also was an impactful special-teams contributor, tallying 238 punt-return yards and a touchdown. Once fully healthy, Horton will likely play a depth role in the Seahawks' receiving corps while operating as one of the team's top return men.
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.
