Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Undergoes surgery, likely done for 2026
Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Arroyo (shoulder) underwent surgery and will likely be out for the rest of the season, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Macdonald didn't outright rule Arroyo out for the entire 2026 campaign, leaving the possibility that the second-year tight end would be available if the Seahawks made a deep playoff run. Regardless, Arroyo will not be available for the rest of the regular season while recovering from a shoulder injury, leaving Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup as the Seahawks' depth options at tight end behind AJ Barner.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Out for season, placed on IR
Arroyo (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Arroyo will miss the remainder of the season.
Arroyo sustained a season-ending shoulder injury that will require surgery in last Thursday's loss to the Broncos. The 2025 second-round pick finishes his second NFL regular season with one catch for 17 yards on two targets in six games.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Extended absence confirmed
Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed with reporters Monday that Arroyo will miss "significant time" due to a shoulder injury that he picked up during Thursday's 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
It appears the second-year tight end will not play against the Chiefs in Week 7, and a stint on injured reserve seems likely for Arroyo. He's mostly been used as an extra blocker on offense and as a contributor on special teams, but his absence means Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup are both candidates for more snaps behind TE1 AJ Barner.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Appears likely to miss time
Arroyo is expected to miss time after exiting Thursday's 17-14 loss to the Broncos due to a shoulder injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
The Seahawks are still looking to determine the extent of Arroyo's injury, but he appears likely to be sidelined for the team's Week 7 game against the Chiefs, and a stint on injured reserve could be a possibility. The second-year tight end has handled a light role on offense through the Seahawks' first six games of the season, registering a 17-yard reception on two targets.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Doubtful to return Thursday
Arroyo (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Thursday's game against Denver.
Arroyo suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter while attempting to recover a fumble. He was escorted to the locker room, and it appears he won't be back on the field again in Week 6.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: No catches versus Chargers
Arroyo didn't record any catches during Seattle's win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Arroyo wasn't targeted once for the third time this season across four outings. The 2025 second-round pick will likely continue to see minimal offensive output as the team's third-string tight end behind AJ Barner and Eric Saubert.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: One snag in victory
Arroyo caught his only target for 17 yards during Sunday's 31-7 win over Arizona.
Arroyo was on the field for just 15 of the team's 70 offensive snaps, but he was at least able to secure his first catch of the year in the victory. The tight end logged 13 snaps with the special-teams unit, and at this point, he doesn't have any fantasy appeal unless something happens to AJ Barner.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Non-factor in Week 1 win
Arroyo wasn't targeted in Wednesday's 13-10 win over the Patriots.
Arroyo was on the field for 11 of Seattle's 50 snaps on offense while AJ Barner played 44 snaps and caught two passes, suggesting there is still a substantial gap between the Seahawks' top two tight ends. After flashing some receiving upside during the preseason, it looks like Arroyo may not get enough playing time to make much of an impact on offense, at least while Barner is healthy.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Another chunk play Friday
Arroyo secured his only target for a 24-yard reception in the Seahawks' 9-9 preseason tie with the Chiefs on Friday.
The second-year tight end had recorded a 36-yard touchdown grab in Sunday's exhibition against the Titans, and Arroyo followed that up with another big play Friday on his 24-yard grab during Seattle's second possession. Arroyo is expected to operate as the No. 2 pass-catching option at tight end behind AJ Barner, but veteran Eric Saubert is expected to see his fair share of snaps as well thanks to his blocking prowess.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Scores 36-yard TD in preseason loss
Arroyo caught two of four targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 preseason loss to the Titans.
Arroyo capped Seattle's opening drive with a 36-yard touchdown reception from Drew Lock. After producing only 179 receiving yards in his rookie regular season, Arroyo is trying to earn a larger role in his second NFL campaign. The 2025 second-round pick is set to open his sophomore season as the team's No. 2 TE behind AJ Barner.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Chance for larger Year 2 role
Arroyo will enter training camp as a candidate to secure an expanded role on offense with the Seahawks, Justin Melo of USA Today reports.
Arroyo is expected to see more opportunities in 2026 after catching 15 passes for 179 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games as a rookie. AJ Barner remains atop Seattle's depth chart, but Arroyo's athleticism gives him a path to increased usage in passing situations and two-tight end sets. Injuries limited Arroyo's involvement last season, so better health could be all the 2025 second-rounder requires to take a notable step forward.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Plays depth role in rookie season
Arroyo caught 15 of 26 targets for 179 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games in 2025.
The 2025 second-round pick from Miami operated as Seattle's No. 2 tight end for most of the season but missed the team's final four regular-season games due to a knee injury. Arroyo's offensive role diminished as the season progressed. He caught 11 of 17 targets for 140 yards over his first seven games but totaled 39 yards and a touchdown on four receptions (nine targets) during his final six regular-season contests. Despite this late-season dip in production, the 22-year-old is expected to compete for a larger offensive role this offseason.

Seahawks' Elijah Arroyo: Sitting out NFC Championship
Arroyo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Arroyo was activated injured reserve Friday after he was a full participant in practice for the second week in a row, but the Seahawks apparently weren't comfortable making the rookie second-round pick one of their three active tight ends Sunday. With Arroyo sitting out, Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup will serve as the reserve options at tight end behind AJ Barner.
