Is Rashid Shaheed playing tonight? Why Seahawks WR is off to quiet start in Super Bowl

With the Seattle Seahawks needing more help at wide receiver during the 2025 season, the team pulled off a trade for Rashid Shaheed.

Seattle pulled off the deadline deal with the New Orleans Saints, and the trade has no doubt paid dividends. Shaheed has made a sizeable contribution as a wide receiver in multiple games, and he has scored a pair of kick return touchdowns, including one in the playoffs.

However, Shaheed is off to a quiet start in the Super Bowl LX showdown against the New England Patriots on Sunday night.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Rashid Shaheed playing tonight?

Yes, Shaheed is active and healthy, and he did receive a target on the opening series but the pass wasn't on the mark.

Shaheed's production has been inconsistent production has been inconsistent during his stint with the Seahawks with Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba operating in front of him, so we wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't do much on Sunday night.
