Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo Designated to Return From Injured Reserve

Seattle Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo has been designated to return from Injured Reserve. The rookie tight end has been sidelined since Week 14 due to a knee injury but is now cleared to return to practice. Barring any setbacks, Arroyo is expected to be available for Seattle's playoff opener next week. His return will impact fellow TE A.J. Barner, who saw a route participation increase to 73% without Arroyo over the last four games, up from 66% when Arroyo was active.
