Seahawks place Artie Burns on injured reserve

Artie Burns’ return to the active roster lasted all of one game.

The Seattle Seahawks cornerback was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, which clears the way for recent trade acquisition Roy Robertson-Harris to be on the roster once he passes his physical. Burns left last Thursday’s loss versus the San Francisco 49ers with a toe injury, which head coach Mike Macdonald later confirmed was a re-aggravation of an injury he’d been dealing with since preseason.
