Arroyo left Week 6 against the Denver Broncos with the shoulder injury. The 23-year-old tight end had been expected to take a bigger role in his second season, but through six games in 2026 he has just one catch for 17 yards. In 2025, Arroyo finished with 15 receptions, 179 receiving yards, and a touchdown.
On the offensive side, Arroyo has seen limited action, recording only 88 offensive snaps — about 22% of the Seahawks’ snaps through the first six weeks. With minimal targets (two) and a modest snap share, his absence will likely have a limited immediate impact, though he was a 2025 second-round pick whose development was anticipated to bolster Seattle’s passing game after a two-game losing streak.
If Arroyo is placed on injured reserve, he would be eligible to return after four games. Seattle’s schedule includes a matchup with the San Francisco 49ers on November 29, which could be his return date if he’s out for the full four weeks. The team also has a week off before that game, providing some timing for his potential return.
