Seahawks receiver Tory Horton remains off field ahead of season opener
Summary

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton is uncertain for the September 9th season opener against the New England Patriots at Lumen Field. The sophomore player did not participate in Thursday's practice, casting doubt on his availability for the team's first game. This follows a 2025 season where Horton was placed on injured reserve in November after sustaining a shin injury. The Seahawks are scheduled to hold an injury report update on Saturday to clarify his status. Horton is currently competing for a spot in a receiver rotation that includes Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed. The team plans to conduct Saturday's practice session to mirror a typical Wednesday schedule as they finalize preparations for the Patriots.
