The Seahawks are in line to sign Shenault, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Before landing on IR this past November due to an ankle injury, Shenault recorded 10 catches for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards, while also returning six kickoffs for 167 yards in eight regular-season games with the Panthers. Now presumably past his injury, the 2020 second-rounder will provide wideout depth for the Seahawks behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, though initially Shenault's primary impact figures to come as a returner.

Shenault finished the regular season with 10 catches on 10 targets for 60 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards in eight games. He also returned six kickoffs for 167 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Shenault landed on injured reserve in late November due to an ankle injury. When healthy, he remained in a gadget role that attempted to highlight his tackle-breaking potential. After seeing his production drop off in consecutive seasons upon joining the Panthers, the former second-round pick will now become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Carolina placed Shenault (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shenault suffered a high-ankle sprain in Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Miami, and though he was never placed on IR, he missed three consecutive games before returning to action Week 11. However, while playing his second straight game this past Sunday against the Titans, Shenault sustained a new ankle injury after playing just two snaps on offense before being ruled out for the rest of the contest. The Panthers haven't clarified the extent of Shenault's new injury, but as a result of landing on IR, he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games. Given Carolina's league-worst 1-10 record, Shenault could be a candidate to get shut down for the season rather than preparing for a potential return from IR when first eligible to return Week 17.

Shenault (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After leaving this past Sunday's loss to Tennessee due to an ankle injury, Shenault remains bothered by the injury. If Shenault's able to recover by Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, he could work as a depth option out of the slot or in the backfield for the Panthers in interim head coach Chris Tabor's debut. Shenault will have two more opportunities to practice before the Panthers release their final injury report Friday.

Shenault (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shenault exited early in the first half, but he was able to return to the field to start the third quarter. His return should strengthen the Panthers' depth at receiver.

Shenault (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wide receiver did not record a catch before exiting. Shenault has nine catches for 52 yards and 12 carries for 55 yards this season.

Shenault caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Shenault hadn't played since Week 6 due to an ankle injury. Although he managed merely three offensive snaps, Shenault got the ball on two of them. Still, as a depth utility option on one of the league's worst offenses, Shenault holds little fantasy value.

Shenault (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Shenault was considered questionable despite putting in a full practice Friday, so it's not a huge surprise he's suiting up Sunday. The 25-year-old could face some limitations in his return from a three-game absence, with coach Frank Reich indicating the wideout's workload would be gradually increased.

Shenault (ankle) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Frank Reich said Friday that the Panthers will gradually increase Shenault's workload if he is able to return this weekend. The full practice suggests he's more likely than not to be back in action, but perhaps only as the fourth or fifth WR and without a role in the return game.
