The Seattle Seahawks aren’t done making moves, even with final roster cuts looming at the end of this week. On Monday, the team announced that they have signed wide receiver Lance Lenoir and waived/injured running back Patrick Carr.
Lenoir spent each of the past three seasons with the Cowboys organization after going undrafted despite a record-setting career at Western Illinois University (3,796 yards, 31 touchdowns). He spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad before finally seeing the field at the end of the 2017 season, followed by a year in a special-teams role before a knee injury sent him to the injured reserve for all of 2019.

The move brings some depth to the Seahawks’ wide receiver unit, which has incurred injuries to Phillip Dorsett II, John Ursua, and Cody Thompson (although coach Pete Carroll has indicated that he expects the return of all three players very soon). On Saturday, the Seahawks also welcomed Paul Richardson back to the team, presumably to fill that need for depth.
Carr, who went undrafted this year out of the University of Houston, was previously waived by the Seahawks on July 26 before re-signing with the team on Aug. 14. He stopped practicing last week with an undisclosed injury and will land on the injured reserve if he clears waivers.
