Two days until the preseason starts and Seattle continues its churn on the defensive line.
With the preseason opener for the Seattle Seahawks just two days away, the team has once again made an addition to the trenches on the defensive side of the ball. A week ago it was Rodney Mathews who was signed, and Wednesday the Hawks added Kyon Barrs to the roster with Dre’Mont Jones, Cameron Young and Mike Morris all unavailable at the moment due to injury.
Thursday the Seahawks inked free agent Mario Kendricks, a rookie out of Virginia Tech who had originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Miami Dolphins.

Kendricks was waived by the Dolphins at the end of July when Miami signed wide receiver Willie Snead, and became a street free agent once he cleared waivers. With how thin the Seahawks are up front defensively due to injuries, it will not be a surprise to see Kendricks get on the field during the second half of the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday.
In order to make room on the roster for Kendricks, the Seahawks waived the recently signed Rodney Mathews.
