Seahawks put Shell, Randall on COVID-19 list, activate Flowers from IR

The Seattle Seahawks executed a number of roster moves ahead of their regular-season finale against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.

First, the Seahawks announced tackle Brandon Shell and safety Damarious Randall have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Shell was added to Friday’s injury report after a “close contact” situation but has tested negative for the coronavirus. No details were given regarding Randall’s status at this time.

In addition to Shell and Randall to the COVID-19 list, Seattle has also activated cornerback Tre Flowers from injured reserve back to the 53-man roster after recovering from a hamstring injury.

“He’s ready to go,” Carroll said Friday. “He had a great week of practice and he’s ready to play.”

Further, the Seahawks have elevated three players from the practice squad: running back Alex Collins, wide receiver Penny Hart and guard Alex Boone. Collins and Hart count as COVID-19 roster replacements and Boone as a standard practice squad elevation.

Finally, running back Carlos Hyde has officially been ruled out for Week 17 with an illness.
