GM John Schneider said Eskridge will play 10-to-15 snaps during Saturday's preseason contest against the Chargers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge's draft pedigree as a 2021 second-round pick gave him a better than normal chance to open his rookie season as the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (groin). But a toe injury lingered into training camp, forcing Eskridge to spend three weeks on the PUP list. Since getting back on the practice field Aug. 17, he progressed enough in a short amount of time to challenge Freddie Swain for the role of third receiver. An impressive showing from Eskridge in Seattle's exhibition finale could be enough to lock up the job.
