The Seahawks have informed C/G Dakoda Shepley that he’s being waived, a source tells me. Shepley appeared in eight games last season after Seattle claimed him off waivers from San Francisco.

The Seahawks have informed backup center Dakoda Shepley that he’s been waived, according to a report by Brady Henderson at ESPN.
Shepley was claimed off waivers by the 49ers last season and played eight games for Seattle, totaling 37 snaps – all on special teams.
This news likely means that Kyle Fuller will serve as the backup center behind starter Austin Blythe, who had previously worked with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on the Rams. Fuller was the team’s worst offensive lineman last year though, so it’s possible Shepley will return if Fuller doesn’t show improvement.
Shepley is the fifth roster cut that the team has either announced or has been reported so far. NFL teams have three and a half more hours to get down to 53 players.
Update:
Seahawks beat writer Gregg Bell believes that the team is hoping that Shepley clears waivers so they can add him to their practice squad.
Kyle Fuller will be Seahawks’ backup center to Austin Blythe. Jake Curhan able to play guard in addition to tackle endangered Shepley.
They’ll try to get him through waivers onto the 16-man practice squad. https://t.co/DyJLZSNAGZ
