Tory Horton to Miss a Period of Time

Friday, August 21, 5:22 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton (undisclosed) is going to be sidelined for a period of time, according to Field Gulls. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Horton is dealing with an undisclosed ailing issue, but he didn't want to go into detail. There is speculation that it's a setback from his shin injury from last season, but nothing has been confirmed. The expectation is that Horton will be healthy for Week 1, but there isn't a timetable for his return yet. Horton is more of a dynasty stash and isn't someone that needs to be rostered in 12-team redrafts to begin the season.

Xavier Legette to Stay in Walking Boot Until Thursday

Monday, August 24, 11:03 AM

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that wide receiver Xavier Legette (ankle) will remain in a walking boot until Thursday, according to Steve Reed of The Associated Press. Legette suffered an ankle injury in last Wednesday's joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars and will most likely sit out the preseason finale this Friday against the Houston Texans. It is bad news as the 25-year-old looks to solidify the WR3 role in Carolina behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, but there is not any reason to believe that he will not be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. The 25-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 from South Carolina has disappointed in his first two years in the NFL, catching 84 of his 148 targets for 860 yards and seven touchdowns in 31 games (25 starts). Legette regressed in 2025 with a 35-363-3 line after the team took McMillan in the first round of last year's draft. He should still have a role in the Panthers' offense in 2026 if he is healthy, but the volume is unlikely to be enough to make him rosterable in 12-team fantasy leagues.
