This news is a bit surprising since the Seahawks have lost both Ricardo Lockette and Paul Richardson to injuries in the last two games. Matthews would have been in line to pick up additional playing time.

The Seahawks have just three healthy receivers on the roster at the moment: Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, and Tyler Lockett.
