What happened: Horton had been cleared before camp after tibia surgery and avoided the physically unable to perform list. His current absence follows participation in camp practices earlier this month.
Why it matters: The interruption limits Horton’s preseason work as Seattle sets its receiver rotation for 2026. NFL clubs do not begin mandatory injury reporting until the regular season approaches.
By the numbers: Horton caught 13 passes for 161 yards and five touchdowns in eight rookie appearances. He added a 95-yard punt-return touchdown, giving him six total scores.
What to watch: Watch for Horton’s return to practice and his availability when regular-season injury reports begin.
