Seahawks cutdown day tracker: Follow along as Seattle trims its roster to 53

The Seahawks, along with every NFL team, have to cut their roster to the regular-season minimum of 53 by 1 p.m. on Tuesday.

After making five moves on Monday, Seattle will need to cut/waive 23 more to get down to the number.

Teams can then assemble a 16-man practice squad on Wednesday, which will likely include many of the players waived/cut on Tuesday.

We’ll keep a running tally of the moves here throughout the day.

Report: Seahawks waive Shepley

According to ESPN.com, the Seahawks will waive backup guard/center Dakoda Shepley. Shepley was the third-team center throughout camp behind Austin Blythe and Kyle Fuller, and also played some guard.

The Seahawks will likely hope he clears waivers so he can return to the practice squad.

Shepley spent all last season on Seattle’s active roster after being claimed off waivers from the 49ers, with the Seahawks hoping to use him exclusively at center. The signing in the offseason of the veteran Blythe, however, changed the dynamics at the position some. Seattle then re-signed Fuller in the spring, as well.
