Day-to-day with oblique injury Head coach Mike Macdonald said Wednesday that Shenault (oblique) is considered day-to-day with an oblique injury and should be able to practice this week, Brady Henderson of ESPN.c...

Impact Shenault suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Seahawks' 20-17 win over the 49ers this past Sunday. The 2020 second-round pick wasn't able to practice Wednesday, but he'll have two more chances this week to participate in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Across 10 regular-season games, Shenault has logged 449 yards and one touchdown while serving as the Seahawks' primary kick returner.

Injures oblique against 49ers Shenault is doubtful to return to Sunday's Week 11 game against San Francisco due to an oblique injury.

Impact Shenault was hurt in the first quarter and appears unlikely to return. He's been a minor part of Seattle's passing game this season but has been impactful as a kick returner, and he scored a touchdown on a 97-yard kickoff return in the first meeting against the 49ers in Week 6. Kenny McIntosh and Dee Williams will likely be back for kickoffs while Shenault is out.

Returns to practice Thursday Shenault (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Shenault didn't practice Wednesday due to a back injury he presumably sustained during the Seahawks' Week 6 loss to the 49ers. He was able to practice without restrictions Thursday, however, and he should be good to go for Sunday's contest against Atlanta, barring any setbacks. Shenault has primarily served as Seattle's lead kick returner, and he returned a kickoff 97 yards for his first touchdown of the season against San Francisco.

Dealing with back issue Shenault (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Impact Shenault appears to be dealing with a back injury following the Seahawks' Week 6 loss to the 49ers, despite playing 21 total snaps (seven offensive and 14 on special teams) and returning a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. His participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 7, when the Seahawks travel to Atlanta.

Returns kick for touchdown Shenault returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers. He finished with 189 return yards.

Impact Shenault lost a fumble on a kickoff return earlier in the game, but he made up for the mistake with a key kickoff return touchdown in the second quarter to keep the Seahawks in the game. The 2020 second-round pick has just four catches for 26 yards this season, but his special-teams acumen will remain beneficial for the Seahawks.

Will play Shenault (foot) is active Sunday against the Dolphins.

Impact Shenault was a late addition to the Seahawks' injury report, sitting out Friday's practice with the injury. However, it won't stop the Colorado product from suiting up against Miami on Sunday. The 25-year-old has two catches on three targets for six yards on the season.

Dealing with foot injury Shenault is dealing with a foot issue and is questionable to suit up against the Dolphins on Sunday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Shenault practiced in full Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday and popping up on the injury report with a foot issue. Though he has been deemed questionable for Sunday versus Miami, coach Mike Macdonald is optimistic that Shenault will be able to suit up, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. The wideout has logged 10 snaps on offense through two games while serving as Seattle's primary kickoff returner.

One catch in Seahawks debut Shenault caught his lone target for no gain and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos. He also returned three kickoffs for 74 yards.

Snares three passes Shenault caught all three of his targets for 27 yards and rushed once for five yards in Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans.

Impact Shenault has performed well as a gadget player, and while he didn't return a kickoff this week, he already proved he's an option in that facet during the first preseason matchup. The 25-year-old receiver appears to have the edge over Dee Eskridge (undisclosed) for the No. 5 wide receiver role. Shenault could handle some designed touches during the regular season if he does secure that role.

Impact Shenault landed on injured reserve in late November due to an ankle injury. When healthy, he remained in a gadget role that attempted to highlight his tackle-breaking potential.

Impact Shenault hadn't played since Week 6 due to an ankle injury. Although he managed merely three offensive snaps, Shenault got the ball on two of them. Still, as a depth utility option on one of the league's worst offenses, Shenault holds little fantasy value.
