Velus Jones Jr. Released by Seattle Seahawks and Sent to Practice Squad

The Seattle Seahawks announced they released running back Velus Jones Jr. and re-signed him to their practice squad, clearing a spot on their 53-man roster ahead of Week 9. Through three games, Jones logged 28 yards on nine carries before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 7 against Kansas City. Though he practiced limitedly on Wednesday and Thursday, the return of other running backs made him the odd man out for the active roster.
