Seahawks 53-man roster tracker: Leonard Williams in, Cody Thompson out

Here’s the updated 53-man roster by jersey number going into tomorrow’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Seahawks are serious about making a deep postseason run this year. Just hours after their home win over the Browns, Seattle pulled off a trade that should help them get there. The front office has sent a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Giants in exchange for Leonard Williams, one of the top interior pass rushers in the league.

To make room for Wiliams, the Seahawks have waived wide receiver Cody Thompson. Our roster tracker is now updated (Oct. 31).

Seahawks updated depth chart + practice squad heading into Week 3

After so many changes now seems like a good team to revisit the depth chart.

The Seattle Seahawks made a flurry of roster and practice squad moves on Wednesday, reshaping their team as they prepare for their third game of the 2023 season at home against the Carolina Panthers.

To recap, rookie defensive end Mike Morris has been placed on injured reserve and head coach Pete Carroll says he’s likely out for the year. The team has also signed cornerback Artie Burns to the active roster, signed tight end Brady Russell off the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad and released second-year outside linebacker Tyreke Smith. These moves come on the heels of an also-active Week 2, which saw the Seahawks bring in four new offensive linemen following injuries to Charles Cross and Abe Lucas – who is also currently on the injured reserve list.

After so many changes now seems like a good team to revisit the depth chart. Here’s what each position looks like, including practice squad players.

Seahawks add former Buffs TE Brady Russell to active roster

Former #cubuffs tight end Brady Russell is headed to Seattle

The Colorado Buffaloes don’t have too many alumni currently in the NFL, although that will change soon with the talent that is playing in Boulder now.

However, former Buffs tight end Brady Russell, who was a part of last year’s 1-11 team, signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday and is joining their active roster.

Russell was previously on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad.

The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Dugar reported that Russell has made it to Seattle and is wearing No. 38, the same number he wore with the Buffs.

The former Buffs tight end went undrafted out of college but signed an UDFA deal with the Eagles and played well in the preseason, even scoring a touchdown during one of the contests before being sent to the practice squad.

Now, he will try and make some noise with the Seahawks under former USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll. The Seahawks host the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.

5 reported Seahawks roster moves going into Week 3

Here’s a review of all the reports this week concerning the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks have been extremely busy over the last couple of days based on what we’ve read from NFL reporters around the league. While the team hasn’t officially announced any of them yet, there are now at least five moves coming – with heavy speculation about one more to come.

The rumors concern second-year cornerback Riq Woolen, who injured his shoulder in Sunday’s overtime win over the Detroit Lions. While head coach Pete Carroll told reporters a few days ago that Woolen will be “OK”, that’s Pete-Carroll code for likely to miss the next four or five weeks due to a significant injury that requires surgery. Hopefully that’s not the case this time, but we’ll find out one way or another soon.

Here’s a review of all the reports this week concerning the Seahawks.

Eagles to sign TE Brady Russell to their practice squad

#Eagles to sign TE Brady Russell to their practice squad

The Eagles are bringing Brady Rusell back on the practice squad after a solid summer, and he could be a player to watch as a developmental prospect.

Russell failed to make the 53-man roster, but the rookie undrafted free agent out of Colorado had a strong training camp and will remain with the organization.

WATCH: Brady Russell catches touchdown pass in Eagles preseason game

Former Buff Brady Russell caught a touchdown pass in the Eagles’ second preseason game

The Colorado Buffaloes don’t have a ton of players currently in the NFL. However, Brady Russell, who was with the Buffs last season, signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles this spring after going undrafted.

The Eagles faced the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 of the NFL preseason and Russell earned some playing time. He was targeted two times and caught one pass, which was a 22-yard touchdown from Tanner McKee, the former Stanford signal-caller.

In Week 1 of the preseason, Russell was targeted just one time and didn’t record a catch. Still, having an opportunity with the reigning NFC champs is massive for Russell, although he’ll likely have an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster.

The Eagles and Browns ended up in an 18-18 tie on Thursday night. Philadelphia’s next and final preseason contest comes Aug. 24 against the Indianapolis Colts.
