Seahawks Release Velus Jones Jr. to Activate Irv Charles Amid Fumble Crisis
The Seattle Seahawks released running back Velus Jones Jr. from their active roster to create space for wide receiver Irv Charles, who was activated from injured reserve. Jones, a veteran who played in three games during Seattle’s 2025 Super Bowl run, had not recorded a carry this season and was primarily used on special teams. The move coincides with a team-wide focus on reducing fumbles, as head coach Mike Macdonald called ball security 'non-negotiable' after recent turnovers by other running backs. The Seahawks may re-sign Jones to the practice squad shortly.
