Seahawks sign fullback Tani Tupou to fill open roster spot

The Seahawks have signed former University of Washington and Archbishop Murphy player Tani Tupou to their 53-man active roster to fill an opening created earlier in the day when safety L.J. McCray failed his physical, according to a league source.

Tupou will play fullback, a spot where the team had an opening after releasing/waiving both Tupou and veteran Will Tukuafu in the cutdown to 53 on Saturday.

The 6-1, 284-pound Tupou played defensive tackle at Washington but signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent and played both fullback and defensive tackle during the preseason.
