Seahawks Designate Jerrick Reed to Return to Practice From PUP List
Closing in on his return from a lengthy recovery from reconstructive knee surgery, the Seattle Seahawks will welcome second-year safety Jerrick Reed II back to the practice field as they begin preparations for a road trip to face the Atlanta Falcons.
Drafted in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of New Mexico, Reed earned a spot on Seattle’s initial 53-man roster and made an immediate impact on special teams, finishing second on the team with nine tackles on kick and punt coverage. He also saw limited action on defense, recording two additional tackles on 29 snaps at both safety spots in nickel and dime looks.
Unfortunately, Reed’s promising rookie season came to a crashing halt when he tore his ACL while covering a kickoff during a Week 11 road loss to the Rams. Due to his injury happening late in the season, he opened training camp on the PUP list and has missed the first six games as his rehab continued into the regular season.
Making enough progress for clearance to return to practice, the Seahawks will now open Reed’s 21-day window, giving them up to three weeks to activate him to the 53-man roster. If he isn’t activated by the end of the window, he will revert back to season-ending PUP list.
Two weeks ago, defensive tackle Cameron Young returned to practice off the PUP list after missing extended time with his own knee injury. Seattle activated him on Thursday before hosting San Francisco and he made his season debut, so the team may be looking at a similar timeline for Reed as long as he doesn’t have any setbacks on the practice field.
In an addition move, the Seahawks re-signed veteran guard/tackle McClendon Curtis to the practice squad, filling an opening created when cornerback Artie Burns was signed to the active roster on Thursday. He was released to help facilitate that move as well as Young’s activation from the PUP list.
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson answered pressing questions about the city’s most pressing issues, including the steps she’s taking to protect residents’ public safety and affordability, while also touching on activating CCTV cameras across the city.

VIDEO: Mayor Wilson proposes renewing, expanding Seattle Transit Measure by doubling the sales-tax percentage that funds it.
Through the end of this year, 0.15% of the sales tax you pay funds the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure. That would double to 0.30% if the City Council and Seattle voters approve the renewal/expansion that Mayor Katie Wilson officially introduced this afternoon. She said it’ll make living in Seattle more affordable by enabling more people to “live car-free or car-light.” She acknowledged that raising the sales tax isn’t ideal but noted that it’s one of the few revenue-raising tools available under state law. Besides paying for more transit – 280,000 additional Metro bus trips a year, 100,000 more than the current measure funds – it also would pay for 22,000 free ORCA transit passes, more than double what the city provides now, said acting SDOT director Angela Brady during the announcement event at City Hall. The passes are now available to Seattle Promise scholars, low-income Seattle Preschool Program families, and Seattle Housing Authority residents. The measure’s renewal/expansion would also make those passes available to Housing Choice Voucher participants.
The mayor’s announcement says the Transit Measure isn’t just about buses: It also would “support the design and delivery of Sound Transit’s West Seattle Link Extension, Ballard Link Extension, and Graham Street Station.” The 0.30% sales tax would generate an estimated $138 million average per year for the 10 years of this measure, which is proposed to go to voters in November. Council review starts this Thursday and will be led by District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka, who chairs the council committee that oversees transportation. We’ll add the specific text of the proposal when we get it; the slide deck for Thursday’s council meeting is now available, and we’ll add some highlights from that soon.
