Seahawks WR Horton Out 4+ Games With Shin Injury
23 Nov
Summary
- Rookie wide receiver Tory Horton placed on injured reserve.
- Horton will miss at least the next four games due to injury.
- Linebackers O'Connell and Sheriff elevated from practice squad.
Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton will be out for at least the next four games after being placed on injured reserve. Horton sustained a shin injury, which has kept him out of the team's last two contests. The fifth-round draft pick had been a contributor, recording 13 receptions for 161 yards and five touchdowns across eight games played this season.
The Seahawks have also made roster moves to bolster their linebacker depth. Patrick O'Connell and Jamie Sheriff have been elevated from the practice squad for the upcoming game against the Titans. O'Connell brings some prior NFL experience, having played in eight career games for Seattle, while Sheriff is set to make his regular-season debut if he sees action.
These elevations come as the Seahawks manage other injuries. Tyrice Knight has been ruled out due to a concussion, and Ernest Jones is listed as questionable with a knee injury. The team is addressing needs at linebacker to ensure sufficient personnel for Sunday's matchup.
