Seahawks Waive RB Malcolm Johnson From Injured Reserve

The Seahawks officially waived RB Malcolm Johnson from their injured reserve list last Friday.

Johnson, 24, is a former sixth-round pick of the Browns in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was in the second-year of a four-year, $2,399,452 rookie contract and was set to make a base salary of $525,000 this season when Cleveland cut him loose back in October.

The Seahawks signed him to their practice squad and eventually made his way to the active roster, but Seattle decided to waive him to make room for WR Kevin Smith back in December.
