The Seahawks are slowly working their way toward the 75-man roster maximum upcoming on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.com, the Seahawks are set to waive running back Zac Brooks.
Brooks was a seventh-round pick out of Clemson in May. He was the third of three running backs Seattle selected in the draft.
Brooks always had an uphill battle for a roster spot. The re-emergence of Christine Michael has added a somewhat unexpected wrinkle to the group as well as Michael appears set to make the roster and contribute alongside Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise this season. Brooks suffered a hamstring injury a week into camp that kept him from making a significant push for a roster spot.
Brooks carried six times for 17 yards and caught one pass for 4 yards in two preseason games with Seattle.
The Seahawks made six moves official on Monday. Seattle released Brandon Browner, placed Sealver Siliga on injured reserve, waived/injured receiver Deshon Foxx and waived defensive end DeAngelo Tyson, wide receiver Montario Hunter and linebacker/fullback Kyle Coleman.
Guard Kristjan Sokoli is also expected to be released and the team is trying to trade center Patrick Lewis, which will likely result in his release if unable to do so.
That would leave Seattle with six more moves to make before the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday.
