Seahawks release CB Dontae Johnson from injured reserve The Seattle Seahawks apparently are so confident in rookie cornerback Tre Flowers that they’re not going to wait for Dontae Johnson to come off injured reserve. Instead Jason Myers Jersey Green , the team has decided to release him.Johnson was placed on IR after injuring his groin in practice the week of Seattle’s 2018 NFL season opener against the Denver Broncos. Stashing him there meant that the former San Francisco 49ers starter would not be able to return to the team until Week 10 at the earliest. He was projected to be the Seahawks’ starting right cornerback, but his injury led to Flowers becoming the starter, and Akeem King got elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.After a difficult debut and then missing Week 2 against the Chicago Bears — King got the start and was beaten for a touchdown in the 4th quarter — Flowers had a solid performance against the Dallas Cowboys, including what was effectively a pass break-up on Michael Gallup that led to Earl Thomas’ first interception of the game. The former Oklahoma State safety now has the starting job totally locked up.This is certainly a turn of events for the Seahawks in terms of cornerback depth. The team had entered preseason with Byron Maxwell and Dontae Johnson as the presumptive favorites, but both men went on IR, and both men are now free agents. The Seattle Seahawks are on course to field their second-worst defense under Pete Carroll Dontae Johnson Jersey , and injuries to the likes of K.J. Wright and Earl Thomas have been a factor. Unfortunately, a below-average defense could suffer even more with starting safety Bradley McDougald currently battling patella tendonitis.At Wednesday’s press conference, Carroll provided an update on the Pro Bowl alternate’s health.Okay, that’s not exactly promising for his chances to play against the Kansas City Chiefs, considering Wright has been “out of town” twice over this season alone for treatment on his own knee. I suppose we’ll know more on Friday, but for now Alex McGough Jersey , Carroll had a one word answer on Bradley’s chances of playing.If McDougald can’t play, then the Seahawks safety depth would be reduced to Tedric Thompson, Delano Hill, Shalom Luani, and Maurice Alexander (who missed last week’s game vs. San Francisco with a concussion). Not exactly filling you up with confidence, is it? The good news is that Wright is practicing on Wednesday http://www.seahawkslockerroom.com/authentic-alex-mcgough-jersey , and if all goes well, he’ll make his return to the field, which is about the best news possible considering the poor performances of Austin Calitro and Barkevious Mingo.
