The Seahawks made a switch of cornerbacks on their 53-man roster official Tuesday, re-signing Jamar Taylor while waiving Parry Nickerson.
Nickerson was acquired from the Jets for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2021 during roster cut weekend. But he was inactive for the first game with coach Pete Carroll having said last week he would need some more time to get more acclimated to Seattle’s defense.
The apparent hope is that Nickerson will clear waivers and that the Seahawks can then re-sign him to the practice squad to fill an opening created when Washington signed cornerback Simeon Thomas off of Seattle’s practice squad earlier in the day.
