Seahawks Revamp Roster for Week 9 Clash with Washington
The Seattle Seahawks have made significant roster changes in preparation for their Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. These adjustments come as the team faces injuries among key players.
Roster Moves Ahead of Week 9
In a series of roster updates, rookie fullback Robbie Ouzts has been activated from injured reserve. After returning to practice this week, Ouzts is set to rejoin the team. He was initially placed on IR due to a high ankle sprain sustained during a Week 3 victory over New Orleans.
New Additions and Injuries
Safety Jerrick Reed II has also been signed to the 53-man roster after being elevated from the practice squad for the past three games. These moves were necessary as the Seahawks faced injuries among their safety and tight end positions.
- Julian Love – Placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury.
- Eric Saubert – Also on IR with a calf injury; he has contributed significantly during his time on the field.
Both players will be sidelined for a minimum of four games, impacting the team’s lineup for the upcoming weeks.
Receiver Depth and NFL Debuts
To bolster the receiving corps, Cody White and Ricky White III have been elevated from the practice squad. This move is crucial as two wide receivers, Jake Bobo and Dareke Young, have been ruled out due to injuries. Cooper Kupp’s status remains questionable due to hamstring issues.
- Cody White – Has appeared in one game this season.
- Ricky White III – A rookie from UNLV, he is poised to make his NFL debut on Sunday if activated.
As the Seahawks prepare for their clash with the Commanders, these roster changes are pivotal. The team aims to maintain competitiveness despite the injury setbacks.
