Second-year receiver confirmed that his vague shin injury from last season was a cracked tibia. Horton began feeling the injury in Week 3 but worked through it until Week 9, when imaging revealed the crack following the win over Washington. He underwent surgery with a metal rod inserted into his leg post-Super Bowl and recovered smoothly enough to avoid PUP designation and start training camp Day 1. Horton reports feeling good and the leg is fully resolved.

Horton was the steal of the 2025 NFL draft as a fifth-round pick from Colorado State. He beat out free agent Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the WR3 job in his rookie training camp and caught five touchdown passes over the first eight games, also scoring on a 95-yard punt return—the longest in Seahawks franchise history. With Rashid Shaheed now in the fold on a three-year, $51 million deal, Seattle's receiver corps features Horton and Shaheed as deep threats complementing Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp.

Second-year receiver Tory Horton confirmed that his vague shin injury from last season was a cracked tibia; he began feeling the injury in Week 3 but worked through it until Week 9 when he got it checked and discovered the crack. He underwent surgery after the Super Bowl with a metal rod inserted into his leg, and his recovery went smoothly enough to avoid the PUP list and start training camp Day 1, indicating he is healthy and ready for the 2026 season.

Second-year Seahawks receiver Tory Horton revealed his season-ending shin injury from last year was a cracked tibia that began in Week 3 but went undiagnosed until Week 9; he played through it for six weeks, including a two-touchdown performance against the Commanders on the fractured bone, before undergoing surgery to place a rod in the tibia after the Super Bowl. He avoided PUP at the start of training camp and is on track for Week 1 of his second season, though his injury history (collegiate knee injury and surgery) warrants continued health monitoring.

Horton, a second-year receiver, is working his way back gradually after returning Saturday for the first time following a shin injury that caused him to miss the second half of last season. After getting work in team drills Saturday, he appeared to work mostly to the side during Sunday's team sessions, with the team managing his reps early on. However, Horton got plenty of work early in practice returning punts. In his first eight games of 2025, he had nine punt returns for 238 yards including a 95-yard touchdown against the Saints that set a Seahawks franchise record. With Rashid Shaheed also expected to be a big part of the offense after re-signing to a three-year deal worth up to $51 million, the Seahawks may spread punt-return work around and give Horton his share of reps, potentially giving Seattle an even more dynamic return game in 2026.

His return could give the Seahawks a more dynamic return game in 2026 alongside Rashid Shaheed.
