Seattle Seahawks cornerback DeShawn Shead has finished his three weeks of practice since returning from the physically unable to perform list without setback, so Saturday Shead announced he is cleared to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
According to Bob Condotta, the team has activated him to the 53-man roster, filling an opening made when Seattle waived Kache Palacio earlier this week.
That gives the Seahawks a total of seven cornerbacks, including Shaquill Griffin, Byron Maxwell, Jeremy Lane, Justin Coleman, Neiko Thorpe and Mike Tyson (who was added to the big league club earlier in December), but obviously not including Richard Sherman who is on injured reserve.
