The Seahawks activated free safety Earl Thomas to their 53-man active roster Saturday, clearing the way for him to play Sunday against the Broncos in Denver.

Thomas returned to the team on Wednesday following a lengthy holdout. The Seahawks had gotten a special exemption for Thomas to practice with the team and not count against the 53-man roster this week.

To make room for Thomas on the roster the team waived rookie cornerback Simeon Thomas, who had been claimed off waivers from the Browns earlier this week. The Seahawks will likely try to re-sign Simeon Thomas to the practice squad.
