Staff report

The first 53-man roster for the Seattle Seahawks under new head coach Mike Macdonald is set.

The Seahawks players who stand out after roster cuts

The Seahawks revealed their roster after the NFL’s deadline on Tuesday afternoon for teams to cut down from 90 players to 53.

While the active roster is now the size it needs to be for the regular season, it doesn’t mean these are the exact players who the Seahawks will take into their Week 1 game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 8. What comes next is a waiver period, so all the players with less than four years of experience who were cut throughout the league can be claimed by other teams. Those cut with at least four years experience are released outright and become free agents.

Just because players were cut by Seattle doesn’t mean they’re gone, either. If they don’t get claimed by another team, they could be added to the Hawks’ practice squad.

Here’s a look at the Seahawks’ full roster plus players who will begin the year on the physically unable to perfom (PUP) list.
