Seahawks Boost Roster by Signing WR Cody White and Adding RB Khalil Herbert to Practice Squad
Seahawks Reshuffle Roster: Cody White Rejoins as Khalil Herbert Bolsters Running Back Depth
The Seattle Seahawks have announced significant changes to their roster, including the signing of wide receiver Cody White from the practice squad back to the 53-man roster. This move accompanies the signing of running back Khalil Herbert to the practice squad, providing vital reinforcement to their roster dynamics.
Seahawks Make Strategic Adjustments
As part of the roster adjustments, safety Jerrick Reed II was waived to create space for White, while running back Jacardia Wright was placed on the practice squad injured reserve. White, now in his sixth NFL season, initially secured a spot on Seattle’s 53-man roster at the start of the season and participated in the opener against the 49ers. Since then, he has alternated between the active roster and the practice squad over recent weeks.
Khalil Herbert Enhances Running Back Options
The addition of Khalil Herbert offers a strategic boost to the Seahawks’ running back options. This move comes at a crucial time as Jacardia Wright is placed on injured reserve and fellow running back Zach Charbonnet is listed on the injury report due to a foot injury, which kept him out during the recent victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Herbert’s Proven Track Record
Khalil Herbert was a sixth-round pick in 2021 out of Virginia Tech and has notable experience in the NFL. He has previously suited up for the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals, appearing in 56 games with 13 starts. Over his career, Herbert has accumulated 1,905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 400 carries. Additionally, he is an asset in the receiving game with 312 yards and two touchdowns on 53 receptions.
- Herbert’s standout performances were recorded between 2022-2023 with the Bears, where he rushed for 1,341 yards and six touchdowns over 25 games.
- Herbert also boasts kick return capabilities, primarily demonstrated during his rookie season with 27 returns for 650 yards.
These strategic roster adjustments by the Seahawks reflect a proactive approach in maintaining depth and responding to current injury challenges as they aim to sustain their performance in the ongoing season.
