Seahawks Activate Sundell and Saubert, Add Mills, Place Rookie TE Arroyo on IR

The transactions reflect Seattle's push to restore depth under tight IR-return limits.

Overview

  • Center Jalen Sundell was activated after four games out with a knee injury, and coach Mike Macdonald has not said whether he will return at center or play right guard after Olu Oluwatimi started in his absence.
  • Tight end Eric Saubert came off injured reserve and is signing a one-year extension, according to a source, returning from a calf injury to bolster a group led by A.J. Barner.
  • Rookie defensive lineman Rylie Mills joined the 53-man roster from the non-football injury list following his college ACL recovery, a move that does not count against IR return designations.
  • Rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo went to injured reserve with a knee injury and must miss at least four games, making a regular-season return unlikely under NFL rules.
  • Seattle re-signed Shaquill Griffin and Cam Akers to the practice squad and elevated Velus Jones Jr. for the Colts game, with Myles Gaskin and Jimmy Holliday released in corresponding moves.
