Seahawks Reverse Roster Move: Cody White to 53-Man Roster, Shaquill Griffin Back to Practice Squad

The swap leverages practice-squad rules to keep Shaquill Griffin available for call-ups.

Overview

  • Seattle signed wide receiver Cody White to the 53-man roster and released cornerback Shaquill Griffin, then re-signed Griffin to the practice squad.
  • The move reverses last week’s swap involving the same two players.
  • Griffin, a vested veteran, did not have to clear waivers to return to the practice squad.
  • Resetting Griffin’s practice-squad status effectively restores his available game-day elevations under NFL rules.
  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said Devon Witherspoon may play without practicing against the Saints, and White’s special-teams value likely influenced this week’s promotion.
