The Seattle Seahawks announced a couple of roster moves Wednesday afternoon ahead of the team’s Week-11, Thursday-night matchup against the Arizona Cardinals at CenturyLink Field.
Seattle has placed cornerback Neiko Thorpe back on the injured reserve. Thorpe was just activated back to the 53-man roster last week after suffering from a groin injury since Week 3.
“Neiko, his groin didn’t make it,” coach Pete Carroll said after the loss to the Rams on Sunday. “All the time we spent trying to get him back, we thought we had him. He had a lot of time to get ready, but it acted up again.”
To fill the empty spot on the 53-man roster, the Seahawks have activated guard Phil Hayes from the injured reserve, where he began his season due to a hip injury.
“Phil has been playing guard for us and can play center as well,” Carroll said Wednesday afternoon. “So he’s kind of a utility guy as he works his way back in. He’s had a good return, we are really excited for him. He’s been out for quite a while – last year as well – so it’s good to get him back out and competing.”
The Seahawks and Cardinals are set to square off Thursday night at 5:20 p.m. PT.
