Jerrick Reed the II will make his season debut for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

Seattle Seahawks injuries: Key player returns, but another is likely out

The Seahawks activated the 2023 sixth-round pick from injured reserve on Saturday.

Seattle also signed cornerbacks Josh Jobe and Faion Hicks from the practice squad for the second straight week.

Reed made 11 tackles (nine solo) in 10 games while contributing largely on special teams before his rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL. Despite the limited action, he was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie special teams team. Reed will provide the Seahawks with additional safety with starter Rayshawn Jenkins on IR.

Jobe and Hicks made their Seahawks debuts last week against the Atlanta Falcons as the secondary struggled with injuries to Riq Woolen and Tre Brown. Jobe recorded six tackles (three solo) and two passes defended while playing 65 defensive snaps. He allowed three catches for 32 yards on seven targets, per Pro Football Focus. Hicks had a tackle while splitting time between defense and special teams.

The pair gives Seattle some security at cornerback Sunday, as Brown (ankle) and rookie cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett (ankle) are both listed as questionable against the Bills. Woolen has no injury designation after missing the past two games.
