Seahawks Start Without Horton | Seattle Seahawks News

0:00It's September 10th. You're listening to Seattle Seahawks News today, AI-powered coverage of your team. I'm Cory with the story. Alright, so the Seattle Seahawks are kicking off their Super Bowl defense this Wednesday, but they're gonna be missing a key piece. Widers' Heaver Tory Horton is officially out for their week one game against the New England Patriots. He was on the inactive list, which came out about an hour and a half before the game he'd been started. Horton's been dealing with a hamstring injury, which is why he was questionable heading into this opener. It's a tough break, especially for a team trying to start strong and defend their title. They've got a whole roster of guys who are also inactive, including a few defensive backs and offensive linemen, plus quarterback Jalen Mouro is. There is an emergency third stringer. The good news, if you can call it that, is that Horton will have a bit of extra time to recover. Their next game isn't for another week and a half, so he's got a chance to get right before they hit the field again. But still, they gotta face the Patriots without him in this big season opener.

1:03The Seahawks are rolling out Jackson Smith and Jigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Cup, and Monterey Foster Jr. as their available wide receivers for this. Match up. It's a pretty significant game, too, being the first Super Bowl rematch in week one in the decade. Kickoff is set for 5.20pm Pacific time at Lumen Field.
