Seahawks Sign RB Khalil Herbert, Activate WR Cody White Ahead Thursday Game

The Seattle Seahawks made several roster adjustments following their dominant 44-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints. They signed wide receiver Cody White from their practice squad to the active roster while waiving safety Jerrick Reed, and also added veteran running back Khalil Herbert to the practice squad to bolster their backfield amid injuries to Zach Charbonnet and the release of rookie Damien Martinez. Rookie wide receiver Tory Horton had a standout game against the Saints, scoring both a punt return touchdown—the longest in Seahawks history—and a receiving touchdown, earning praise from head coach Mike Macdonald for his preparation and decisiveness. Herbert, a 27-year-old with experience from the Bears, Bengals, and Colts, offers a physical running style that complements the explosive Kenneth Walker III and could be activated soon for the Seahawks’ Week 4 game. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints, facing challenges including a tough start to the season and cap constraints, might consider trading wide receiver Chris Olave, with analysts suggesting the Seahawks could be a potential suitor, especially after their recent win over the Saints. Olave, a former Ohio State star and 2022 first-round pick, could be a valuable addition for Seattle following their offseason trade of DK Metcalf.
