Seahawks Roster Changes: Waivers and Injuries Impact Team Depth

The Seattle Seahawks are adjusting their roster ahead of upcoming games due to injuries and performance issues. On Thursday, the team waived defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna, creating two open roster spots.

This move coincides with the designation of players like Julian Love, Jarran Reed, and Dareke Young to return to practice, with the team having 21 days to decide on their activation to the 53-man roster.

Additionally, veteran nose tackle Johnathan Hankins was waived from the injured list after not playing this season due to a back issue, with a settlement reached concerning his injury. Coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Hankins will not return this season.

Meanwhile, promising performances from Brandon Pili and Byron Murphy II have mitigated the impact of Hankins’ absence. The Seahawks are also dealing with injuries to key players like right guard Anthony Bradford, who is limited due to a calf injury, potentially leading to Christian Haynes starting again.

Overall, Seattle must carefully navigate the return of injured players amidst their roster changes as they prepare for the Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
