Laviska Shenault Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Reverts to practice squad Shenault reverted to the Chargers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Shenault was elevated to the Chargers' roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense and 13 snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 40-17 loss to Tampa Bay. The wide receiver appears to be in line to be elevated again for Thursday night's matchup with the Broncos.

Gets elevated for Week 15 Shenault was elevated from the Chargers' practice squad to their active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Shenault joined Los Angeles' practice squad last Thursday and could get his first game action with the club Sunday. He spent the majority of the campaign with Seattle, catching five of five targets for 36 yards over 11 games while also returning kicks before he was waived Dec. 2. Shenault could see some reps on offense against Tampa Bay on Sunday with Jalen Reagor (finger) landing on injured reserve Saturday and with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) questionable to suit up. Shenault is also an option to replace Reagor as an option for returning kicks behind Derius Davis.

Claimed by Bolts The Chargers claimed Shenault off waivers Thursday.

Impact Shenault was waived by the Seahawks on Monday following a tough outing against the Jets on Sunday. He fumbled the ball twice in that contest, the second of which was recovered by the Jets in Seahawks' territory. Shenault gives the Chargers another return option on special teams, and he could be elevated to the Chargers' active roster for Week 14 against Kansas City if Ladd McConkey (knee) is unable to play.

Dropped by Seahawks The Seahawks waived Shenault on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Shenault's rough performance in Sunday's win over the Jets, which included an ugly fumble after a 10-yard kickoff return that gave the Jets the ball at the Seahawks' 38-yard line, likely led to him being waived Monday. The 2020 second-round pick from Colorado caught all five of his targets for 36 yards and also accumulated 459 kickoff return yards and one kick-return touchdown over 11 appearances this season. He could find work in the near future with a team in need of a kick returner.

Past back injury Shenault (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Shenault was inactive for the Seahawks' 16-6 win over the Cardinals this past Sunday due to a back injury he picked up in Week 11 against the 49ers. His ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that Shenault should be good to go against the Jets on Sunday. The 2020 second-round pick has logged 449 kick return yards and one touchdown while adding five catches for 36 yards across 10 regular-season games.

Not able to play Week 12 Shenault (back) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Arizona.

Impact Shenault was hurt in last Sunday's win over San Francisco and sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday before returning with a full session Friday. Despite his ability to participate in that final practice, the special-teams ace won't be able to suit up against the Cardinals. Shenault's absence will most impact Seattle's return game, and Dee Williams will likely be asked to handle kickoff returns in the former's stead.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 12 Shenault (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Shenault has played a total of 43 offensive snaps this season. He's caught all five of his targets for 36 yards and rushed one time for one yard. Shenault mainly plays on special teams for Seattle.

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.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

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.
