The moves
The Seattle Seahawks announced a set of roster transactions on Wednesday during the second week of training camp. The team signed running back T.J. Harden and cornerback Jordan Washington. To make roster room, Seattle waived cornerback Brandon Johnson and linebacker Garrett Nelson.
Who the new additions are
Harden went undrafted out of SMU this year and initially signed with the Cleveland Browns before being waived by that team last week. He now joins a Seattle backfield where rookie Jardarian Price currently sits atop the running back depth chart, with Zach Charbonnet still working back from a torn ACL. Washington earned his shot with the Seahawks after trying out at the team’s rookie minicamp. He played college football at Dartmouth before transferring to Stanford for the 2025 season.
Context
The moves are part of continuing roster churn for Seattle as training camp progresses. The Seahawks enter this camp as the reigning Super Bowl champions, and clubs typically use this stretch of camp to test depth at running back, cornerback and linebacker before trimming to a final roster later in the preseason.
What’s next
Harden and Washington will compete for roster spots and practice reps as camp continues, with the running back competition shaped by Charbonnet’s ACL recovery and Price’s current standing as the top back on the depth chart. No further details on practice squad assignments or additional cuts were included in the reports.
