The Seattle Seahawks chose not to activate tight end Ed Dickson off the injured reserve before Monday night’s bout with the San Francisco 49ers, delaying his season debut another week.
The Seahawks only have one more week before they will either have to activate Dickson, or cut him loose.
Dickson was placed on the injured reserve just before the start of the season. He was eligible to return against the Buccaneers in Week 9, but the team decided to keep him on the IR while he got his legs back.
That appears to be the plan again this week as well. The Seahawks will go with the trio of Luke Willson, Jacob Hollister, and George Fant against the 49ers.
Dickson missed the first half of last season as well, before returning to haul in 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in the second half.
That kind of production would be great for a Seattle team that lost Will Dissly to season-ending surgery for the second year in a row.
However, Seattle will have to wait another week to see Dickson in action.
