Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times reports that second-year wide receiver Kris Durham will be among the Seahawks’ final cuts when they are announced later Friday.

The NFL roster cut-down deadline is 9 p.m. eastern.

The 107th overall draft pick two Aprils ago, Durham struggled with injuries during his ultimately brief tenure as a Seahawk.

Durham played across from A.J. Green at Georgia. He was never very productive in college, but ran well at a towering 6-foot-6, 216 before the 2011 draft. Durham maintains an intriguing size-speed combination, but durability and on-field football playing ability are long-term question marks if he hopes to resurrect his career elsewhere.

Durham is now eligible to be claimed off waivers.
