2026 Outlook

Breakout 2025 rookie season was cut short by shin injury in Week 9—the problem may have been a stress fracture, though the Seahawks never formally disclosed it. Underwent offseason surgery with positive trajectory. The shin injury prompted Seattle to trade for veteran Rashid Shaheed to replace Horton's production as the explosive deep threat. Early updates were encouraging: late-May OTAs brought "good news" on recovery timeline that should "accelerate" his return, and he was expected to participate in June mandatory minicamp (June 9–11). However, Horton remains a question mark heading into training camp (July 25): he did not participate in organized team activities (OTAs), suggesting continued caution. Coaches expect him to practice during camp itself, positioning him as a potential breakout sleeper if fully healthy. If Horton stays healthy, his explosiveness could make him an excellent complementary piece alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Shaheed in Seattle's receiving corps. (per Seahawks fans have every reason to worry about these 3 injuries - 12th Man Rising)

Injury Status

Suffered shin injury in Week 9 of 2025 season—possibly a stress fracture. Underwent offseason surgery. Recovery trajectory was accelerating as of late May OTAs, with coach Mike Macdonald reporting positive updates and potential June minicamp participation expected. Despite missing OTAs, Seahawks expected him to practice during training camp. As of training camp opening (July 25), Horton has cleared health checks and is ready to practice with no PUP-list placement, signaling full recovery from the shin injury (per For These Seahawks, No News Is Good News as We Kick off Training Camp). Expected to compete for WR snaps as an emerging option in the receiving corps.
