The Seattle Seahawks made several roster moves ahead of the team’s Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle placed starting pass rusher Uchenna Nwosu on Injured Reserve, which is a significant blow for a defense that is already shorthanded.
The Seahawks also signed former Arizona Cardinals safety Zeke Turner to the team’s practice squad. Turner is mostly known for his special teams play, appearing in 81 games over the last seven seasons. The veteran played for the Houston Texans this season before the team released Turner on October 1, 2024.
One week later, Turner was signed to the Seahawks practice squad. Seattle released rookie linebacker Devin Richardson to make room for Turner.
It is a bit of a homecoming for Turner who played collegiately for the Washington Huskies. Turner has experience playing both linebacker and safety.
Uchenna Nwosu’s Injuries Put the Seahawks in a Challenging Position Given His 3-Year, $45 Million Contract
The big news is Nwosu heading to IR, which means the pass rusher will miss at least four games. Nwosu signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Seahawks that runs through 2026.
Unfortunately, Nwosu only played six games during the 2023 season. Seattle also made a series of additional roster moves hours before kickoff against the Niners.
The Seahawks signed cornerback Artie Burns from the practice squad to the active roster. Seattle also released guard McClendon Curtis and activated defensive tackle Cameron Young from the PUP list.
The following players were inactive against the Niners on Thursday Night Football: cornerback Riq Woolen, defensive tackle Byron Murphy II, linebacker Trevis Gipson, center Olu Oluwatimi, guard Sataoa Laumea, receiver Dareke Young and defensive end Myles Adams.
