Though he received a doubtful designation on Friday's final injury report, the Seattle Seahawks went ahead and activated veteran cornerback Artie Burns to the 53-man roster on Saturday.

In a corresponding move to create a roster spot, Seattle placed second-year safety Jerrick Reed, who has been dealing with a quad injury, on injured reserve.

Now in his third season with the Seahawks, Burns enjoyed a strong training camp and preseason, but the team waived him in late August before re-signing him on the practice squad. He suited up for a Week 6 loss to the 49ers, producing two pass breakups in coverage while defending star receiver Deebo Samuel before exiting late in the game after reaggravating a lingering toe injury he played through in exhibition games.
