Seahawks Waive Shaquill Griffin, Cam Akers to Open Two Roster Spots

The moves create roster flexibility to activate injured-list returnees before Week 15.

Overview

  • The NFL transaction log on December 11 lists Seattle waiving the veteran cornerback and running back, leaving two vacancies on the 53-man roster.
  • Seattle has not made corresponding additions, with center Jalen Sundell and tight end Eric Saubert designated to return from injured reserve this week.
  • Receiver Dareke Young returned to practice last week and rookie defensive lineman Rylie Mills faces a December 17 activation deadline.
  • Both veterans must pass through waivers under post-trade-deadline rules and could be candidates for the practice squad if unclaimed.
  • Griffin has appeared in two games this season after rejoining Seattle, and Akers did not play in a game for the Seahawks before his release.
