Field Gulls
As usual, the Seattle Seahawks have kept it fairly tight regarding roster cuts ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, but we are getting some news of players placed on waivers.
After nothing was announced on Sunday, NFL insider Aaron Wilson and longtime ESPN Seahawks columnist Brady Henderson reported on Monday that undrafted rookies Alphonzo Tuputala, Seth Coleman, and Luke Felix-Fualalo have been let go.
None of these moves was made official by the team in Monday’s NFL transaction wire, so all of the roster cuts will be processed on Tuesday.
Tuputala was a preseason addition to the Seahawks, who were in need of inside linebackers due to injuries at the position. The former Washington Huskies starter played in Seattle’s final two preseason games, recording a tackle against the Kansas City Chiefs and five tackles and a half-sack in extended second half action against the Green Bay Packers.
Coleman impressed at times as a pass rusher. The former Illinois outside linebacker recorded 1.5 sacks in Seattle’s win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. He was signed as a free agent immediately after April’s NFL Draft, then was briefly let go in early August before returning for the preseason opener.
Felix-Fualalo played 56 snaps over three preseason games, all with Jalen Milroe at quarterback. The Australia native and Hawaii alum was signed back in June and has played at both tackle spots throughout training camp and preseason.
