Seahawks cut WR Phillip Dorsett II, RB BJ Emmons from practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks released wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II and running back BJ Emmons from the practice squad on Tuesday afternoon.

The Seattle Seahawks announced just two roster moves on Tuesday afternoon. Seattle released wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II and running back BJ Emmons from the practice squad. 

Emmons had just been re-signed to the squad last week. He originally signed with Seattle this spring as an undrafted free agent out of Florida Atlantic but spent training camp and the preseason with the Raiders.

As for Dorsett II, he began his professional career in Indianapolis after he was selected by the Colts in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft. After two years there, he then spent three seasons with the Patriots before signing for his first stint in Seattle in 2020.

He signed back with the Seahawks as a member of the practice squad in September of 2021.

Seahawks sign wide receiver Lance Lenoir back to practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks have signed wide receiver Lance Lenoir back to practice squad ahead of the Week-3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Seattle Seahawks have now filled one of their two empty spots on the team’s practice squad, signing wide receiver Lance Lenoir back to the unit.

Lenoir was with Seattle during training camp but was cut during the initial trim-down and added to the original practice squad roster the next day. He was released last week when Demarcus Christmas was signed to the squad.

Adding another wide receiver to the group makes sense now that wideout Phillip Dorsett II has been placed on the injured reserve.

Lenoir spent time with the Cowboys, who Seattle will face on Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field.

Seahawks place 3 players on injured reserve, add 2 from practice squad

The Seahawks have placed Bruce Irvin, Marquise Blair and Phillip Dorsett on the injured reserved ad promoted two from the practice squad.

The Seattle Seahawks announced a number of personnel moves ahead of the start of Wednesday’s practice. Seattle has placed three players on the injured reserve: wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II, defensive back Marquise Blair and linebacker Bruce Irvin.

Blair and Irvin suffered ACL injuries during the Seahawks’ Week-2 win over the Patriots and the roster moves were anticipated. Both will undergo knee surgery and their seasons are now over.

Dorsett, on the other hand, is dealing with a foot injury but is expected to return to the roster after sitting out the mandatory three games this season. Seattle’s early bye this week will allow Dorsett an additional week to recover.

To fill two of the empty spots on the active roster, the Seahawks have promoted cornerback Linden Stephens and defensive tackle Anthony Rush from the practice squad.

After the personnel moves on Wednesday, Seattle has one open roster spot remaining.

Seahawks to place wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II on injured reserve

The Seattle Seahawks are placing receiver Phillip Dorsett II on the injured reserve due to his sore foot but he can return in three weeks.

The Seattle Seahawks are going to give wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II a little more time to heal before he makes an appearance on game day.

Coach Pete Carroll ruled out Dorsett for the Week-3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday and now it looks like Dorsett is headed to the injured reserve.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news Tuesday afternoon.

“The Seahawks are placing WR Phillip Dorsett on injured reserve, source said,” Pelissero tweeted. “It’ll give Dorsett some time for his ailing foot to get calmed down. He’s eligible to return in three weeks.”

With Seattle’s early bye this season, that gives Dorsett until Oct. 25 against the Cardinals to recover.“Phillip Dorsett, we’re looking to figure out how to work this out,” Carroll had told reporters on Monday. “We need to give him a break to make sure that his foot is healed and back. He tried to get back this week to play in this past game and couldn’t do it, so we have to give him more time in that. We have to consider what we’re doing with that.”

Well, it looks like the decision is now made and Dorsett will be placed on the injured reserve.

The Seattle Seahawks, like so many teams around the league, suffered a number of injuries on Sunday. Coach Pete Carroll provided some player updates during his Monday afternoon press conference.

Defensive back Marquise Blair and linebacker Bruce Irvin both sustained ACL tears against the Patriots and will undergo knee surgeries. Both Blair and Irvin will be out for the remainder of the season.

Wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II, who was inactive Sunday with a foot injury, has now been ruled out ahead of the Week-3 matchup against the Cowboys so he has additional rest time.

Defensive end Rasheem Green and tackle Cedric Ogbuehi were also inactive Week 2 but have a chance to face Dallas this Sunday.

“Rasheem Green will be evaluated Wednesday, we’ll take one day at a time,” Carroll said. “If he’s back or not, we’ll have to wait and see on that one. Cedric Ogbuehi, he has a chance to get back this week. We’ve got to wait and see how he responds. We’ll start on Wednesday figuring it out and then working our way through it. He and Rasheem are kind of in the same boat that we have to wait and see how those guys respond.”

Finally, tackle Duane Brown briefly left the Patriots matchup with a sore foot but was able to return to the game. Safety Jamal Adams and cornerback Tre Flowers both suffered dislocated fingers but were also able to resume play.

Carroll should have additional, updated injury information on Wednesday during his press conference to kick off the workweek.

He tried to get back this week to play in this past game and couldn’t do it, so we have to give him more time in that. We have to consider what we’re doing with that.”

Carroll said Dorsett needs additional rest time and is not a part of the Week 3 game plan.

The Seahawks have an off day Tuesday but return to practice Wednesday to prepare to face Dallas.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II is set to return to practice on Wednesday. Dorsett has been battling a sore foot and was inactive Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Coach Pete Carroll provided an update on Dorsett and a couple of other players during his Wednesday press conference before practice.

“We are gonna get Phillip Dorsett back on the field today,” Carroll said. “We’ll see how he does getting ready for the weekend. So we are in pretty good shape.”

While Dorsett may be able to resume work, it’s looking like defensive end Rasheem Green (shoulder) and tackle Cedric Ogbuehi (pec) could be a few days at least.

“It’s gonna take all week to figure it out with him and see how he comes back,” Carroll said of Green. “He got some tests done today. So we won’t know.”

Ogbuehi is also in wait-and-see mode.

“Cedric is still going to be hampered a bit,” Carroll acknowledged. “We won’t know until the end of the week on Cedric.”

The official practice report is expected to be released later Wednesday afternoon.
