As earlier reported, defensive end Ricky Foley was released, along with receiver Kole Heckendorf, offensive guard Gregg Peat and kicker Clint Stitser.

The Seahawks also waived/injured defensive tackle Jonathan Lewis, who suffered a broken thumb against Minnesota.

The Seahawks now have until Saturday to get down to 53 players.
