SEATTLE -- The Seahawks activated Abraham Lucas off the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday, putting the third year right tackle once step closer to making his long-awaited return from offseason knee surgery.
Seattle placed right tackle George Fant on injured reserve to make room on the 53-man roster.
The Seahawks had to activate Lucas by Wednesday, as that marked the end of the 21-day practice window that began when he was designated to return on Oct. 23. If Lucas hadn't been activated by Wednesday, he would have had to remain on the PUP list the rest of the year.
