The Seattle Seahawks are enjoying some good injury news on Monday morning. It was reported second year safety Jerrick Reed II has been officially designated to return to practice. Reed began his sophomore season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to an ACL injury suffered last year.
According to NFL rules, Reed now has a 21 day window to practice to prove he is capable of re-joining the 53-man active roster. If he is unable to make the roster in this time frame, he will be shut down for the rest of the 2024 season.
Reed made his impact on special teams last year, recording 11 total tackles. Given how disastrous Seattle’s special teams have been this year, getting Reed back into the mix would give this important phase of the game a much-needed boost.
The other roster move the Seahawks made on Monday was re-signing tackle McClendon Curtis back to the practice squad, as his rollercoaster 2024 season spent between the practice squad and active roster continues. Keeping him in the Seattle organization is going to be critical for a team dealing with considerable offensive line depth issues.
