Seahawks news: Maxwell placed on IR, Johnson traded and more

Slow news day, Seahawks fans? Not at all, of course. 12s are still waiting for Seattle to announce their roster, but partly that is because Seattle is finalizing moves to get the roster set. Here are a few moves made so far on Saturday.

Byron Maxwell is placed on IR

Maxwell, the presumed starter at left cornerback before training camp, has not played this preseason due to a hip injury. On Saturday, the Seahawks placed Maxwell on IR. This offseason, Maxwell re-signed with Seattle for one year and $3 million. He could have been released but Seattle decided to go a different way.
