Elijah Arroyo News: Logs two receptions Friday

Arroyo brought in both of his targets for 19 yards in Friday's 33-16 preseason win over Kansas City.

AJ Barner lined up with Seattle's first-string offense Friday, hinting that he has the early lead over Arroyo in the competition for the No. 1 tight end job. The 22-year-old Arroyo hasn't done anything to hurt his stock this preseason, catching all four of his targets for 33 yards across two contests. The rookie would have to leapfrog Barner in the Seahawks' final preseason game against Green Bay on Saturday, Aug. 23 in order to avoid starting the regular season as the backup option.
