Seahawks face tough decision on Rashid Shaheed's dual role
Summary

Shaheed showed flashes of potential after his trade, catching 15 passes for 188 yards and averaging 14.8 yards per catch in a short span. The challenge lies in balancing his production on offense while maintaining his return duties, with expectations for a larger workload in the upcoming season.
