Is Rashid Shaheed playing today? Latest update on Seahawks’ WR for Super Bowl LX

As Super Bowl LX between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots gets ready to kick off on February 8th 2026, many fans are wondering about the availability of Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed. He is known for his lightning-quick speed and big play potential and has been a key part of Seattle’s success this season. Will he be on the field for the biggest game of the year?

According to official team sources, Rashid Shaheed has been training and preparing with the Seahawks heading into Super Bowl LX, and there is no major injury concern listed for Sunday’s game. The Seahawks’ final injury reports have been positive, with key players including skill-position stars cleared to play in the championship matchup.

Rashid Shaheed’s role going into the Super Bowl

Rashid Shaheed is a wide receiver and return specialist who was acquired by the Seahawks from the New Orleans Saints during the 2025 season. Since joining Seattle, he has made a number of explosive plays, particularly in the playoffs (including a long kickoff return that helped the Seahawks build momentum in the NFC Championship Game).



While he has not always been heavily involved in the Seattle passing game, his speed threat and special teams ability make him an important piece of the Seahawks’ offensive and return schemes. Analysts believe that Shaheed’s role could be especially valuable in Super Bowl LX if the Seahawks choose to unleash his deep-ball potential or return skills against the Patriots’ defence.

Rashid Shaheed injury history

Earlier in the season during a Week 18 game Shaheed was cleared to play after recovering from a concussion, showing that he had passed through the league’s strict health protocols. At that time, he practised fully with the team and had no question marks on the game status report.



There have also been social media rumours claiming that Shaheed would miss the Super Bowl due to a toe injury, but these reports are not confirmed by any official Seahawks or NFL source. Until the team’s official injury report is released on game day, there is no credible indication that he will be out. (Social posts about a “stubbed toe” have circulated online but lack verification.)



As of the latest updates, Rashid Shaheed is expected to play in Super Bowl LX for the Seahawks, barring any late-breaking game-day changes. His presence gives Seattle more weapons on special teams and potentially in the offence if the coaching staff opts to feature him more on Sunday.

With kickoff hours away, fans will be watching closely to see how coach Mike Macdonald uses Shaheed in America’s biggest football game. One thing is clear: if Shaheed gets open space with the ball in his hands, his top-end speed could be a game-changing factor for the Seahawks against the Patriots
