The Seattle Seahawks announced various roster moves on Monday afternoon. Rotational safety K’Von Wallace was placed on IR. Wallace will now miss a minimum of four contests after injuring his ankle during a kickoff against the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 10 defeat. The earliest he can return is against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15.
Wallace’s injury represents the latest setback in Mike Macdonald’s ravaged secondary. Starting safety Rayshawn Jenkins remains on IR with a hand injury and will be sidelined for at least one more contest. Versatile defensive back Artie Burns is also on IR.
We’ve claimed NT Brandon Pili off waivers and placed S K’Von Wallace on injured reserve.

Coby Bryant and Julian Love had been the starting safeties prior to the Seahawks’ Week 10 bye. With Wallace now joining Jenkins and Burns on IR, Jerrick Reed II and Ty Okada (practice squad) could be forced to play rotational roles behind the makeshift starters.
Elsewhere, the Seahawks filled Wallace’s roster spot by claiming nose tackle Brandon Pili off waivers. A former undrafted free agent out of USC, Pili previously spent time with the Miami Dolphins. The big bodied interior defender totaled 99 defensive snaps across two seasons in Miami, accumulating six total tackles.
Fellow nose tackle Cameron Young was recently placed on IR by Seattle. That offers Pili an opportunity to play some rotational snaps behind Johnathan Hankins. General manager John Schneider continues to churn the roster.
