Seahawks activate safety

The Seattle Seahawks have activated safety Jerrick Reed II from injured reserve, allowing him to make his season debut against the Buffalo Bills after recovering from a torn ACL suffered last November. Reed, a sixth-round pick in 2023, was a standout on special teams during his rookie season and is expected to provide depth at safety with starter Rayshawn Jenkins currently on IR. In addition to Reed, cornerbacks Josh Jobe and Faion Hicks have been elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week to bolster the secondary due to injury concerns with Tre Brown and Nehemiah Pritchett. Reed's return marks a significant addition to the Seahawks' special teams unit, where he previously excelled. The Seahawks are also navigating offensive line challenges, as veteran George Fant remains sidelined. The matchup against the Bills is anticipated to be a key test for Seattle’s defense.
