When the NFL preseason rolls around, roster movement is plentiful, and it’s not uncommon to see players waived and re-signed just days apart. That holds true for Seattle Seahawks linebacker/defensive end Seth Coleman, who’s back almost as quickly as he left.
Seattle announced on Wednesday that Coleman, waived on Monday, has re-signed with the team after clearing waivers. Montorie Foster Jr, who injured his hamstring on Friday, was waived/injured to make room for Coleman’s return. If Foster clears waivers then he’ll be placed on injured reserve. Field Gulls attended that practice and noted that he grabbed his hamstring after a 1-on-1 rep, then spent the rest of practice with a wrap around his left leg.
It should be noted that Mike Morris is dealing with a “lower-body injury” according to Mike Macdonald, so the Seahawks may be looking to just have a healthy player on the roster to absorb snaps in case Morris can’t play. Coleman is an undrafted rookie out of Illinois, where he was teammates with Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Coleman recorded 15.5 sacks over six seasons with the Fighting Illini.
