The Seattle Seahawks will hit the field at the VMAC later today for their first official practice of Week 13 as they prepare for Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, who they'll be visiting for an early kickoff on Sunday.
Yesterday general manager John Schneider and the front office made some tweaks to the 53-man roster, making a couple of moves on defense. First, the team has claimed safety AJ Finley off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers. To make room for him Seattle has waived defensive tackle Myles Adams, who will likely wind up back on the practice squad assuming he clears waivers.
Adding Finley could mean that one of the Seahawks' safeties got dinged up in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals - we'll have to wait for the first injury report of the week to come out later today to find out who. For now, let's take a look at the Seahawks' defensive depth chart after Tuesday's moves.
Seahawks defensive depth chart - Week 13
DL: Leonard Williams, Johnathan Hankins, Byron Murphy II, Jarran Reed, Roy Robertson-Harris, Mike Morris
OLB: Boye Mafe, Derick Hall, Dre'Mont Jones, Trevis Gipson
ILB: Ernest Jones, Tyrice Knight, Drake Thomas, Josh Ross
CB: Devon Witherspoon, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Tre Brown, Nehemiah Pritchett, Dee Williams
S: Juian Love, Coby Bryant, Rayshawn Jenkins, Jerick Reed II, AJ Finley
