STACKED’s take
Velus Jones Jr. signed to active roster; Macdonald praised his offseason work.
Signed off the practice squad to take Price's place on the 53-man roster. Jones has played in 39 NFL games since entering the league as a third-round choice of the Bears in 2022 out of Tennessee (also played at USC). He has been used as both a receiver and running back with 197 yards on 24 carries in his career, including 32 yards on 4 carries with Seattle last season. Joined the Seahawks' practice squad last October and played in three games for Seattle last season and also this year against the Patriots and Commanders as a practice squad elevation. Coach Mike Macdonald said: "Velus is a guy that we were excited to bring on last year. When he had his opportunities, he did a great job. He's played great at gunner for us. On offense, he's had a great offseason. Just like all these guys. If you get an opportunity, we're excited to see what he can do."
