The NFL is a fastmoving business, especially for those who are on perpetual roster bubbles. Such is the case for the linebacker Michael Dowell, who was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Monday afternoon. Dowell was signed to Seattle’s practice squad five days ago. Now, he is seeing a new NFL home.
Dowell was a defensive back in college at Michigan State and Miami of Ohio. When he went undrafted this past spring and signed with the Cincinnati Bengals, he went to the Queen City as a safety. However, when he was signed by the Seahawks he was done so as a linebacker.
With Dowell’s release, there is now an open spot on Seattle’s practice squad. Perhaps linebacker Jamie Sheriff, who was released to make room for Dowell, could be back. Seahawks Wire will be sure to update as soon as a transaction is likely to be made this week.
