Summary

Rutgers wide receiver KJ Duff underwent season-ending surgery for a high-ankle injury earlier this week. The surgery raises concerns for his draft prospects, impacting the Seattle Seahawks' plans as they consider selecting him in the 2027 NFL Draft. Duff is expected to resume football activities in January but will likely miss the NFL Scouting Combine. The Seahawks have a pressing need at wide receiver, particularly after a disappointing season from Rashid Shaheed and the aging Cooper Kupp. Assessments will continue as the Seahawks look for potential draft targets in light of Duff's injury.
