Hold up, did you see what our Seahawks just pulled? Barely a day after activating special teams gunner Irv Charles from injured reserve, the dude was released and then immediately re-signed to the practice squad, all while Velus Jones Jr. swung back onto the 53-man roster! This all went down ahead of our huge Thursday night showdown against the Denver Broncos, and it’s got everyone talking.
The Charbonnet Situation and Jones Jr.’s Return
The backfield needed some reinforcements, plain and simple. Running back Zach Charbonnet’s knee injury is still keeping him on the physically unable to perform list, and it looks like he’ll be there for a bit. That’s why we saw Velus Jones Jr., another running back, inked back onto the 53-man roster. He was actually just released the day before to clear space, so it’s been a whirlwind for him. This move is all about adding that crucial depth as we gear up to face Denver.
The Irv Charles Rollercoaster
Now, the real head-scratcher: Irv Charles. The special teams star, 29, was the one who initially took Jones Jr.’s spot on the active roster, getting activated from injured reserve on Tuesday. Charles has been on IR since before the regular season even started due to a knee injury after we acquired him from the New York Jets. He’s been itching to make his Seahawks debut, but then, BAM! Almost as fast as he was activated, he was released and re-signed to the practice squad. The good news is, as a vested veteran, he wasn’t subject to waivers, meaning he’s eligible to practice with the team starting Wednesday.
So, will we finally see Charles suit up in the Emerald City? We’ll know more when the team announces practice squad elevations on Thursday. All eyes are on Lumen Field for that Thursday night showdown against the Broncos. We need every single player locked in!
