Wunderkind long snapper, Tyler Schmitt, is lost for the season with a back injury. A small, but meaningful blow to a Seahawks special teams unit that could be great and could be grating.

In other news, Seattle played it cute getting down to 75. Smartly retaining good talent in Will Herring and William Robinson by placing Herring on the reserve list and Robinson on IR. Robinson has potential, if he can fill out. That left only Joel Filani and Omare Lowe to be outright cut.
