Got it thrown over our heads finally. So that was a good wake-up call for us on defense. But that's definitely a point of emphasis after this first week was trying to get Sheed the ball on some of those deeper targets.

Macdonald prioritizing deep balls to Shaheed; 55-yard TD catch shows growing Darnold chemistry.

Coach Mike Macdonald identified getting Shaheed deep balls as a point of emphasis after the first week of training camp. Shaheed caught a 55-yard TD on a post route from Sam Darnold during Monday's practice, demonstrating the growing chemistry between the two. Macdonald emphasized the focus on expanding Shaheed's route tree and creating timing with Darnold, noting both players have banked significant reps together through the offseason program and private summer workouts. Shaheed signed a three-year, $51 million contract in March to stay with the Seahawks.
