As expected, the Seattle Seahawks made a couple roster moves to shore up their depth heading into Sunday’s contest against Cleveland.

Seattle released defensive tackle Jason Shirley and linebacker Stephen Franklin from the active roster. Both were recent additions and had short stays in Seattle.

And with the two free spots, the Seahawks brought tight end Cameron Morrah off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to the active roster, and also added safety Chris Maragos from the practice squad.

The Morrah move was somewhat expected because Seattle had only one healthy tight end with Zach Miller still out, but …

The Seattle Seahawks announced this morning they have placed defensive end Dexter Davis on the season-ending injured reserve list because of a hip issue.

Head coach Pete Carroll had mentioned during Friday’s talk with reporters after practice that the team had a decision to make with Davis, who had struggled throughout training camp with the injury and never seemed to get right.

The Seahawks re-signed cornerback Kennard Cox to replace Davis on the 53-man roster. Cox was one of Seattle’s better special teams players last year, and with the team’s struggles on the field and with injuries to guys like …

The Seattle Seahawks announced today that they have signed defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove to their active roster. To make room, the club released defensive tackle Landon Cohen, claimed off waivers and added to the team earlier this week after the New England Patriots released him.

By signing today, Hargrove is eligible to play in Sunday’s game at San Francisco.

Defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove has indicated through his twitter account that he will sign with Seattle this weekend.

The Seahawks have not confirmed the signing, but it’s expected to become official on Saturday.

The Seattle Seahawks made a couple moves on the practice squad this afternoon, releasing defensive end Maurice Fountain and safety Josh Pinkard. Seattle used those two spots to add defensive tackle Pep Levingston and offensive guard Paul Faniaka to the practice squad.

Sorry, folks. Been out of the loop most of the day for personal reasons, but I’ll get you up to speed real quick on another busy day for the Seattle Seahawks in terms of roster moves.

The Seattle Seahawks announced several roster moves this afternoon. Perhaps the most noticeable is they claimed Denver Broncos reserve kicker Steve Hauschka. In order to make room for him, Seattle waived former Pittsburgh and San Francisco kicker Jeff Reed.

Reed seem to have a roster spot sewed up after Seattle released Brandon Coutu a few weeks ago, but as personnel people always say, you’re not just competing against the 80 people on your own roster, but the entire rosters of the 31 other teams as well.

Well, three hours after the league deadline the Seattle Seahawks delivered this year’s final roster cut downs by carrier pigeon to the Williams’ household (I’m joking, kind of).

The list of players released produced a few surprises, including defensive tackle Colin Cole being released this evening. The Iowa product had been on the Physically Unable to Perform list rehabbing an ankle injury during training camp.

Cole was due $3.75 million in base salary this season if he was on the roster Week 1, and Brandon Mebane had been signed to a lucrative deal as the long-term solution at nose tackle.
