Seahawks roster cuts news: Seattle releasing veteran safety

Could Bell’s release be a positive sign for Nick Emmanwori’s health?

Seahawks roster cuts news: Seattle releasing veteran safety

Seattle Seahawks have released veteran safety D’Anthony Bell. The news came as NFL cutdown day continued. Bell was informed on Sunday that his services are no longer needed by the team. The Seahawks had previously placed Bell on and off their 53-man roster last season. However, as a veteran, he was not subject to waivers and could have potentially signed with another team or joined their practice squad.

With Emmanwori still recovering from ankle surgery, Bell has often taken over his snaps at the "big nickel" position. While his release does not guarantee Emmanwori will be ready for the first game, it could be seen as a positive sign for the team's health.
