Running Back Justin Forsett Cut by Seattle

ESPN announced yesterday that the Seahawks cut seventh-round draft choice Justin Forsett today. Per the Seattle Times (here), "The moves to release Forsett (and wide receiver Jordan Kent) are likely to open a pair of roster spots for nickel back Jordan Babineaux and starting defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, both of whom missed the opener under league suspension. Seattle also placed receiver Nate Burleson on injured reserve"...."Forsett was a preseason star for Seattle after being a seventh-round pick this year, and was one of the final choices on the 53-man roster. Should he clear waivers, the Seahawks could keep the diminutive running back on their practice squad."
