Seahawks Waive Jerrick Reed II, Add WR Mac Dalena to Practice Squad

The Seattle Seahawks have made notable roster changes ahead of their upcoming games, including the decision to waive safety Jerrick Reed II. This move creates space for the newly acquired wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who joined the team through a trade with the New Orleans Saints.

Roster Changes: Jerrick Reed II Waived

Jerrick Reed II, a sixth-round draft choice in 2023, has been waived after spending time on the Seahawks’ practice squad. Prior to being waived, Reed was elevated to the 53-man roster in time for Seattle’s Week 9 matchup against Arizona. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, Reed is eligible to return to the Seahawks’ practice squad.

New Acquisition: Rashid Shaheed

Rashid Shaheed was acquired in a trade with the Saints on Tuesday. In exchange for Shaheed, Seattle sent fourth and fifth-round draft picks to New Orleans. The receiver was seen at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Wednesday, ready to integrate into his new team.

Practice Squad Addition: Mac Dalena

In addition to these roster changes, the Seahawks have signed Mac Dalena to their practice squad. Dalena, an undrafted rookie from Fresno State, had previously signed with the Kansas City Chiefs this spring but was waived before the season commenced. During his senior year at Fresno State, he earned first-team All-Mountain West honors, leading his team with 64 receptions, accumulating 1,065 yards, and scoring eight touchdowns.

Key Stats for Mac Dalena

  • College: Fresno State
  • Receptions: 64
  • Receiving Yards: 1,065
  • Touchdowns: 8
  • Award: First-team All-Mountain West

These roster adjustments reflect the Seahawks’ commitment to enhancing their squad as they move through the season.
