The Seattle Seahawks scored a 26-21 win over the struggling New York Jets on Sunday, and that win put them into first place within the NFC West with a 7-5 document.
But it surely was a tough recreation for large receiver Laviska Shenault Jr., who’s used primarily as a kick returner.
He mishandled a few kick returns on Sunday, which included a fumble within the second quarter, and on Monday, the Seahawks determined to waive him, per Aaron Wilson.

General this season, Shenault didn’t do too badly for Seattle — he has put collectively 459 yards and a landing on 16 kick returns, in addition to 36 receiving yards on 5 catches.
Dee Williams will presumably get extra reps transferring ahead as their primary kick returner.
Seattle has now received three video games in a row, and in a bunched-up NFC West, each recreation is magnified for every time within the division.
Whereas the gifted however banged-up San Francisco 49ers could also be primarily out of the operating for the division title, the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals, each of whom have a 6-6 document, are proper within the thick of that race.
For the Seahawks, quarterback Geno Smith, who made the Professional Bowl in each of the final two seasons, is struggling, however large receiver D.Okay. Metcalf has been performing effectively with 50 catches for 763 yards and three touchdowns.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has emerged as a gem on the wideout spot for them with 70 catches, 829 yards and 4 touchdowns by 12 video games, and he’s actually a cornerstone for them transferring ahead.
