Seahawks re-signed CB Neiko Thorpe.
Thorpe ended last season on IR after sports hernia surgery. He'll return as a core special teamer and deep reserve. Thorpe has been with Seattle since 2016.
Thorpe (sports hernia) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Thorpe required surgery last week to repair a sports hernia injury, and it'll cost him the rest of the season. The 29-year-old rarely plays on defense, but he's Seattle's special-teams captain. The Seahawks brought in Ryan Neal to add cornerback depth during Thorpe's stead. Thorpe will be an unrestricted free agent in March.
Thorpe underwent sports hernia surgery this week and is expected to be placed on injured reserve next week, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Thorpe was already ruled out for Week 14 against the Rams with the groin injury, but his placement on IR will effectively end his season. As a result, Akeem King will continue to work as the team's No. 3 cornerback.
Thorpe (groin) will remain sidelined for the Seahawks' matchup with with the Rams on Sunday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Thorpe's absence will mark his third straight game missed due to a nagging groin injury. As a result, Akeem King figures to see plenty of work as the team's No. 3 cornerback.
