The Seattle Seahawks have made a trio of roster moves on Saturday ahead of their Week 8 showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Making his debut this season will be safety Jerrick Reed II, who began the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Reed recently returned to practice last week, and will look to get his first action of the year on Sunday.
Reed had a 21 day window to make the active 53-man roster once returning from the PUP list. If he had missed this opportunity, he would have been shut down for the season. Fortunately, that is a scenario we won’t have to discuss.
Originally a sixth-round selection by the Seahawks during the 2023 NFL draft, Reed played in 10 games before tearing his ACL, prematurely ending his rookie campaign.
Seattle made other transactions as well on Saturday, elevating cornerbacks Josh Jobe and Faion Hicks to the active roster. Both Hicks and Jobe played last week against the Atlanta Falcons. Jobe played well, recording six tackles and defending two passes. Hicks logged a tackle as well.
