Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo out for season after shoulder surgery
Summary

Elijah Arroyo, tight end for the Seattle Seahawks, is set to miss the remainder of the 2026 NFL season due to a shoulder injury requiring surgery. The news follows the activation of running back Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform list. Arroyo's season ends prematurely after catching only one pass for 17 yards this year. He was expected to play a more significant role following a promising preseason. The Seahawks will look to AJ Barner as their top tight end moving forward and may explore trades to bolster their tight end depth as they navigate a 3-3 record.
