4 days agoWR Horton (shin) unlikely to return for playoffs
Seahawks are not expecting rookie WR Tory Horton to return for the playoffs due to a prolonged shin injury; left tackle Charles Cross is expected back.
A fifth-round pick out of Colorado State, Horton has caught 13 passes for 161 yards and five touchdowns. He also scored on a 95-yard punt return, the longest in team history. Horton fell to the fifth round after his final college season was cut short by a serious leg injury. He also missed time over the summer with a sprained ankle, but he still beat out veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling to be Seattle's third receiver.
