The Seattle Seahawks have announced three roster moves heading into tomorrow's monster matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, which has the potential to crown a new leader in the NFC West race. The major headline is that strong safety Rayshawn Jenkins has been activated from the injured reserve list. Jenkins had performed well during the first six games of the season. However, he's been sidelined over the last month due to a hand injury.
While Jenkins has been out the Seahawks have gotten a pleasant surprise in his stead. Third-year defensive back Coby Bryant has switched to safety full-time and took Jenkins' place in the starting lineup next to free safety Julian Love. Bryant had struggled awfully in coverage his first two years in the NFL, but he's taken some strides and made several huge stops over the last few weeks.
For the season Bryant has only allowed a 60% completion rate (down from 92.9% last year) and a 75.7 passer rating. He's only given up one touchdown so far as the nearest defender. That means head coach Mike Macdonald has an interesting decision to make with regards to the starting lineup tomorrow. Up until these last few weeks it would have been an no-brainer to start Jenkins over Bryant, but now it could go either way.
The Seahawks have also elevated tight end Tyler Mabry and inside linebacker Patrick O'Connell from the practice squad for tomorrow's game.
