Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed fully participated in practice on Friday, October 23, putting to rest any lingering concerns. The official word is in: Shaheed is not on the injury report for Week 7, clearing him for action.
Shaheed’s Status: Full Go for Week 7
It’s official, 12s. Shaheed, who was dealing with a hip issue, is a full participant and completely off the injury report. This is huge news for a guy coming off his best game of the season just last week. The Emerald City needs all its playmakers ready, and Shaheed’s health is a positive sign for Brian Fleury’s offense heading into this critical stretch.
More Targets Needed for the Young Receiver
Despite last week’s stellar performance, the cold, hard truth is Shaheed has only received at least five targets in two games this entire season. That’s a head-scratcher when he clearly has the ability to make plays. For Week 7, he’s projected to see just a few targets, and is even considered a No. 5 receiver in some fantasy leagues. But after his breakout last week, you gotta wonder if Mike Macdonald and the coaching staff are going to unleash him a bit more.
What’s next for our Seahawks? With Shaheed cleared, the focus shifts to Week 7 and getting him integrated more consistently into the game plan. We need to see that “best game of the season” version of Shaheed every time he steps on the field. Let’s see if the coaching staff makes the move to get him the rock.
