Seahawks put J.D. McKissic on injured reserve with thought of a return, claim LB off waivers

J.D. McKissic is now on injured reserve.

But unlike Byron Maxwell, Austin Davis, Jamarco Jones and Erik Walden, McKissic can come back to play this season.

The Seahawks announced before their first practice of the regular season on Monday they had put the versatile running back and kick returner on IR two weeks after McKissic sustained a broken bone in his foot.

Because McKissic was on the first 53-man active roster to begin the season, announced Saturday, and then went IR he is eligible to return after eight games. He can begin practicing after six weeks of the regular season.
