Returns kick for touchdown

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-10-11

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

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

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-09-22

Shenault (foot) is active Sunday against the Dolphins.

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

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-09-20

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.

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

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-09-09

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

The Seahawks are using Shenault in a gadget function, as he played just seven offensive snaps. As the No. 5 wide receiver, Shenault has little fantasy utility outside of deep leagues that generously reward return yards.

Snares three passes

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-08-18

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.

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.

Joining Seattle's WR corps

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-04-02

The Seahawks are in line to sign Shenault, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Before landing on IR this past November due to an ankle injury, Shenault recorded 10 catches for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards, while also returning six kickoffs for 167 yards in eight regular-season games with the Panthers. Now presumably past his injury, the 2020 second-rounder will provide wideout depth for the Seahawks behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, though initially Shenault's primary impact figures to come as a returner.

Injury-shortened season

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-12

Shenault finished the regular season with 10 catches on 10 targets for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards in eight games. He also returned six kickoffs for 167 yards.

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. After seeing his production drop off in consecutive seasons upon joining the Panthers, the former second-round pick will now become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Lands on IR with ankle injury

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-11-30

Carolina placed Shenault (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Shenault suffered a high-ankle sprain in Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Miami, and though he was never placed on IR, he missed three consecutive games before returning to action Week 11. However, while playing his second straight game this past Sunday against the Titans, Shenault sustained a new ankle injury after playing just two snaps on offense before being ruled out for the rest of the contest. The Panthers haven't clarified the extent of Shenault's new injury, but as a result of landing on IR, he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games. Given Carolina's league-worst 1-10 record, Shenault could be a candidate to get shut down for the season rather than preparing for a potential return from IR when first eligible to return Week 17.

DNP due to ankle injury

RotoWire Logo Published: 2023-11-29

Shenault (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

After leaving this past Sunday's loss to Tennessee due to an ankle injury, Shenault remains bothered by the injury. If Shenault's able to recover by Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, he could work as a depth option out of the slot or in the backfield for the Panthers in interim head coach Chris Tabor's debut. Shenault will have two more opportunities to practice before the Panthers release their final injury report Friday.
