Seahawks trade TE Vannett to Steelers for pick

The Seattle Seahawks traded tight end Nick Vannett to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday in exchange for a 2020 fifth-round draft pick.

Steelers starting tight end Vance McDonald hurt his shoulder early in Sunday's loss in San Francisco, and he was wearing a sling Tuesday. A source told Schefter that the length of time McDonald will be out is "not long," but his status for Week 4 on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals hasn't been announced by the team.

Vannett reflected on the trade via Twitter:

Thank you Seattle!
