Roster Shakeup Alert: Seahawks Land Veteran Running Back

Seahawks Add Veteran Running Back in Latest Roster Shakeup

Seattle reshuffles its roster ahead of Thursday night, bringing in a seasoned running back while making key adjustments to both the active lineup and practice squad.

The Seahawks made a handful of roster moves on Tuesday as they continue to navigate injuries and fine-tune their depth heading into a key divisional showdown on Thursday night.

Cody White Back on the 53-Man Roster

Seattle re-signed wide receiver Cody White to the active roster from their practice squad. This marks another rotation for White, who’s been bouncing between the two units all season. He was active in Week 1 against the 49ers, logging five snaps on offense and another six on special teams, but had since returned to the practice squad.

White is a sixth-year veteran who understands this system and brings a level of polish as a depth piece. His ability to contribute on special teams makes him even more valuable, especially during weeks like this with short turnarounds and lingering injuries.

To make room for White, the team waived safety Jerrick Reed II. Reed had just been promoted from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s blowout win over New Orleans, where he notched six defensive snaps and a hefty 16 on special teams.

Running Back Shuffle: Herbert In, Wright to IR

In the backfield, Seattle added some experience to the practice squad by signing veteran running back Khalil Herbert. A 2021 sixth-round pick, Herbert has produced nearly 1,800 rushing yards and eight touchdowns across three seasons, mostly with the Bears. After brief stops with the Bengals and Colts this past offseason, he now gets a shot to carve out a role in Seattle.

Meanwhile, undrafted rookie Jacardia Wright was placed on the practice squad injured reserve after sustaining a foot injury in Sunday’s win. Wright had been elevated to the active roster for that game-with Zach Charbonnet dealing with a foot issue-and chipped in five carries for 20 yards. His absence opens the door for Herbert to step in and potentially make an impact if depth is needed again this week.

Injury Report Holds Steady

No changes came to the Seahawks’ injury report from Monday to Tuesday. The team held a walkthrough rather than a full-speed practice, so these reports are still considered estimations. That said, we’ll get clearer answers on Wednesday when Seattle releases its official game status designations ahead of Thursday night’s NFC West matchup with the Cardinals.

Here’s Tuesday’s full injury report:

Did Not Participate

  • FB Robbie Ouzts (ankle)
  • OT Josh Jones (ankle)

Limited Participation

  • DE Leonard Williams (elbow, shoulder)
  • CB Devon Witherspoon (knee)
  • S Julian Love (hamstring)
  • S Nick Emmanwori (ankle)
  • OLB Boye Mafe (toe)
  • TE Elijah Arroyo (groin)
  • C Jalen Sundell (ankle, elbow)

Full Participation

  • RB Zach Charbonnet (foot)
  • LB Ernest Jones IV (shoulder)

Charbonnet returning to full participation is a positive sign, especially with Kenneth Walker III continuing to carry a heavy workload. The Seahawks have leaned on a strong run game to help balance the offense, and Charbonnet’s presence gives them a reliable 1-2 punch when healthy.

What’s Next

All eyes now turn toward the Thursday night clash against the Arizona Cardinals-a pivotal game in a tight NFC West race. With injuries mounting and short recovery time between weeks, Seattle's roster flexibility and depth pieces like Cody White and Khalil Herbert could end up playing a bigger role than the box score might show.

Owner David Tepper Admits He Lacks the Competence to Run Football Operations
Can you believe it? David Tepper, the "notorious" owner of the Carolina Panthers, has finally "confessed" a truth that team fans have been waiting for years: He doesn't have enough ability to handle everything himself! But hold on, this isn't a "disaster" – it's a "positive twist" that's saving the Panthers! Is Tepper "letting go" to let the team soar? Read now to uncover the "secret" behind this shocking statement! David Tepper, the billionaire famous for his "deep interference" style in the Carolina Panthers, has undergone an astonishing positive change in ownership. Instead of "micromanaging" every decision like before, Tepper is now less involved, allowing football operations to run independently under the guidance of experts. The result? The team is achieving stability and success beyond expectations, currently tied for first in the NFC South with potential to return to the playoffs after many "sinking" seasons! At the annual charity event Joy to the Carolinas on December 9, 2025, Tepper expressed confidence in the organization's new direction, implicitly admitting that he's not a "superhero" who can run everything himself. He said: "It's not bad at all. It's pretty good; it's all just building blocks, and we'll see where we go. We'll see what happens. We think, as I've said, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan, Brandt Tilis, and everyone in the organization, we're building something special in Carolina. And we've built it outside the community. We're building it on the field, so that's the overall picture. Hopefully, we can continue and have that for many years. That's what we're looking for." This "confession" is actually a wise acknowledgment: Tepper recognizes past mistakes when pushing for quick results, leading to a series of disastrous failures like continuous coach firings and poor draft choices. Now, he supports his professional picks – like head coach Dave Canales, general manager Dan Morgan, and vice president Brandt Tilis – without "interfering." Instead, Tepper focuses on infrastructure (like stadium upgrades) and community efforts, transforming himself from a "demanding boss" to a "silent supporter"! The Panthers are exceeding expectations at the end of the season, with solid gameplay and higher team spirit than ever. Optimism is spreading without the "must-win now" pressure – something that once caused the team to "break apart" under old Tepper. Fans, after years of "disappointment," now appreciate Tepper's enthusiasm and improved role as a true asset. Many fans on social media comment: "Finally, Tepper knows to 'let go' – and the Panthers are soaring because of it!" Some even predict that if this approach is maintained, the Panthers could become the "big boss" of the NFC South for many years to come. But is this "admission" a sign that Tepper is about to sell the team? Or just a "ploy" to appease fans? The Panthers ownership scandal is "hotter than ever" – and Tepper's words could change the team's history! What do you think, is Tepper really "incompetent" or is he "playing fair"? Comment now and follow for the next NFL "drama"!
