The Seattle Seahawks on Saturday promoted receiver Kasen Williams to the 53-man roster to take the place of injured tight end Anthony McCoy, meaning the former UW and Skyline High star could make his NFL debut Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. McCoy, re-signed earlier this month, suffered a high ankle sprain against Baltimore and is now done for the season.
And in the process, he will complete an unexpectedly circuitous journey to his ultimate football goal, having gone from one of the top recruits in the nation in 2010 to an undrafted free agent — in large part due to a nasty foot injury suffered in 2013 during his junior at Washington — earning an invite to Seattle’s training camp only after participating in a rookie try-out camp.
