After the San Francisco 49ers released cornerback D.J. Reed on Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks scooped him up on waivers the following day, adding another piece to their secondary.
Reed was waived with a non-football injury designation and will likely be unable to play for the first six weeks of the 2020 season while he heals from his torn pectoral muscle that he suffered during an offseason workout.
Seattle may have made this move for depth purposes, as Reed will not be expected to make a significant impact even if he returns in 2020. He recorded a mere 13 tackles on defense in 16 games and zero starts last season.
The Seahawks look to have a solid secondary with Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs and Shaquill Griffin in the fold, but their plans for Reed are relatively unknown at the moment.
