RENTON Brett Hundley Color Rush Jersey , Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks set their 53-man roster on Saturday without a backup quarterback to Russell Wilson after releasing both Geno Smith and Paxton Lynch to reach the league limit.It was a surprising decision after it appeared Smith had won the backup job during training camp, capped with a strong performance in the final preseason game against Oakland. But Seattle clearly wanted to see what else became available as other teams made their cuts.Seattle has been very active in previous years making moves after cuts were announced and this year is likely to be no different Richard Sherman Color Rush Jersey , including finalizing the acquisition of Jadeveon Clowney from the Houston Texans.Among the other notables released were veteran wide receiver Jaron Brown, tight end Jacob Hollister Duane Brown Color Rush Jersey , defensive tackle Earl Mitchell and defensive back DeShawn Shead.Brown was in line to be a starter opposite Tyler Lockett and his release leaves Seattle very thin at wide receiver. David Moore is not expected to play in the opener because of an arm injury and there is uncertainty about DK Metcalf’s availability for Week 1 following minor knee surgery.But Seattle did keep rookie wide receivers Gary Jennings and John Ursua and both could have prominent roles right away. All 11 of Seattle’s draft picks remained with the team, although offensive lineman Phil Haynes and defensive lineman Demarcus Christmas remained on the physically unable to perform list.Seattle acquired cornerback Perry Nickerson from the New York Jets for a seventh-round pick. Nickerson could end up being Seattle’s nickel cornerback after veteran Jamar Taylor was released.Seattle also placed offensive lineman Jordan Simmons on season-ending injured reserve and defensive tackle Jarran Reed was placed on the suspended list. Reed will miss the first six games after being suspended by the league. RENTON K.J. Wright Color Rush Jersey , Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks added needed depth on their defensive line by signing tackle Earl Mitchell on the eve of training camp.Mitchell’s signing came two days after the Seahawks learned they would be without Jarran Reed for the first six games of the season. Reed was suspended for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.The 32-year-old Mitchell spent the past two seasons with San Francisco, starting 28 of 30 games played. He had 33 tackles in 2017 and 28 last season. He’s unlikely to provide the same kind of interior pass rush as Reed but should be a solid option against the run.Seattle also signed wide receiver Daniel Williams and released running back Marcelias Sutton and cornerback Derrek Thomas.The Seahawks placed safety Lano Hill on the physically unable to perform list and wide receiver Caleb Scott on the non-football injury list.
