The end of the preseason is just days away and roster cuts are due at 1 PM Seattle time Saturday. One player whose status for the start of the season is not in question is DeShawn Shead.
Shead tore his ACL in the playoff loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and then in late July it was reported that he had a follow up procedure on his knee to address a cartilage issue. Earlier this week Pete Carroll stated that Shead is not right around the corner, and is still a good deal of time away from coming back and joining the team, and this means Shead will undoubtedly be starting the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, leaving an intriguing question unanswered heading into the season.
