Seahawks open 21-day practice window for TE Elijah Arroyo

The Seattle Seahawks have designated rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo for return to practice as of Wednesday. Arroyo, a second-round draft pick from Miami, had been sidelined for the last four games of the regular season due to a knee injury. The team now has a 21-day window to evaluate him in practice before deciding whether to add him back to the active roster. During the regular season, Arroyo played in 13 games, starting four, and recorded 15 receptions for 179 yards and one touchdown. His potential return could bolster the Seahawks' tight end position, which has been short-handed since veteran Eric Saubert went on injured reserve in October. This development offers the team an opportunity to be at full strength at the tight end position, complementing starter AJ Barner, who played all 17 games this season.
