The Seattle Seahawks were active Tuesday with several roster moves. They have signed tight end Tony Moeaki and re-signed receiver/punt returner Bryan Walters. The team also added safety Dion Bailey and wide receiver Jalen Saunders from the practice squad.
To make room for the additions to the 53-man roster, the team released linebacker L.J. Fort and waived safety Terrance Parks with an injury settlement.
The Seahawks also released wide receiver Chris Matthews and tight end Brett Brackett from the practice squad. The team decided to leave rookie safety Eric Pinkins on the reserve/non-football injury list, ending his season.
Signing Moeaki (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) could be bad news about the status of starting tight end Zach Miller, who had ankle surgery in late September and has missed the past five games.
Moeaki was a third-round draft choice out of Iowa in 2010 by the Kansas City Chiefs. He spent three seasons in Kansas City, but missed the 2011 season due to injury. Moeaki played in 30 games with 29 starts, recording 80 receptions for 1,009 yards with four touchdowns. He signed with the Buffalo Bills on December 4, 2013, and played in two games.
Saunders was a fourth-round pick of the New York Jets this year. He played in three games and had six punt returns for 26 yards before being released on Sept. 29. Saunders was signed to the Arizona Cardinals practice squad on October 1, but was released on October 25.
