With the addition of former New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller on Thursday evening, the Seattle Seahawks needed to free up a roster spot.
To do so, they waived running back Terrence Magee.
Magee was signed from Seattle’s practice squad to their 53-man roster on Saturday with Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise both unable to play against the San Francisco 49ers.
Magee played limited snaps in the game and rushed for 12 yards on three carries.
Rawls is expected to miss several weeks with a cracked fibula. Prosise has a cracked bone in his wrist that has kept him from playing the last two weeks and will take several more weeks to fully heal.
Spiller’s addition gives Seattle an immediate option as a third-down back to pair with Christine Michael until the rest of their running backs can get back to full strength.
