Elijah Arroyo - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Impact 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.

Sitting out NFC Championship Arroyo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact 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.

Impact Arroyo has been on Seattle's injured reserve list for the past five games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 14 at Atlanta, but his activity at practice signals he could return to game action for the NFC Championship. The Seahawks would just need to officially activate him from IR prior to Sunday's game versus the Rams.

Staying on IR for divisional round Arroyo (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Arroyo was a full participant in all three practices this week, but he hasn't recovered quite enough from a knee injury to be activated from injured reserve. The rookie second-rounder's next chance to play would be in the NFC Championship Game if the Seahawks emerge victorious Saturday.

Practicing in full Arroyo (knee), who remains on IR, was a full participant at practice Tuesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

No practice again Arroyo (knee) did not practice for the second day in a row Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact It's not a good sign after the tight end suffered the injury in Seattle's win over Atlanta last week. The Seahawks have one more practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts. Arroyo has 15 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown on the year.

No practice to begin week Arroyo (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Arroyo suffered the knee injury in Sunday's blowout win over Atlanta, and head coach Mike McDonald has since expressed skepticism that Arroyo would be able to play in Week 15 against the Colts. His inability to suit up at all Wednesday isn't a promising start, but he'll have two additional days to increase his participation.

If Arroyo is forced to miss Week 15, Nick Kallerup would stand to operate as the team's No. 2 tight end against Indianapolis.

Additional testing upcoming Arroyo (knee) will undergo more imaging in the near future to determine the severity of his injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Arroyo suffered a knee injury in the first half of the team's victory, ultimately failing to return to action. The rookie could be set to miss action moving forward, and if that's the case, Nick Kallerup would be a top candidate to operate as the top reserve option at tight end behind AJ Barner.
