Seahawks WR Laviska Shenault Jr. Doubtful to Return vs. 49ers

What happened?

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury.

Shenault Jr. was injured on a 20-yard catch and run in the first quarter. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but he was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game.

What does this mean for the Seahawks?

The Seahawks are already thin at wide receiver, so Shenault Jr.'s injury is a big blow. DK Metcalf is the team's only healthy starting wide receiver, and he is coming off a game in which he was limited by a knee injury.

The Seahawks will likely have to rely more on their running game and tight ends in the passing game. Running back Kenneth Walker III has been impressive in his rookie season, and tight end Noah Fant has emerged as a reliable target.

What's next?

The Seahawks will host the 49ers on Sunday at Lumen Field. Kickoff is set for 1:25 p.m. PT.

The Seahawks are currently 2-2 on the season, while the 49ers are 2-1.
