RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have waived defensive lineman Malik McDowell, closing the book on one of the most disappointing draft picks in franchise history.
The team waived McDowell with a non-football-injury designation prior to their first practice of training camp on Thursday. Seattle also placed Kam Chancellor on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, an expected move after the Pro Bowl strong safety and team captain suggested on social media earlier this month that his neck injury would prevent him from playing again.
Chancellor won't count against the Seahawks' 90-man roster while on PUP and is officially ineligible to play in 2018.
