Cornerback Byron Maxwell was placed on injured reserve

and tight end Ed Dickson was placed on the non-football injury list as the Seattle Seahawks reached the 53-man roster limit Saturday.Maxwell entered training camp as a starter in the secondary Indianapolis Colts T-Shirt , but was rarely on the field during the preseason due to a hip injury. Maxwell returned to Seattle midway through last season and proved he could still be a quality cornerback playing in Seattle's system after struggling in Philadelphia and Miami in different defensive schemes.With Maxwell out, Dontae Johnson becomes the presumptive starter at right cornerback, although Seattle will likely be active looking for other options on the waiver wire. Johnson started 16 games last season for San Francisco before coming to Seattle in the offseason.Seattle will debut a significantly overhauled secondary in the opener at Denver. Shaquill Griffin, Justin Coleman and Bradley McDougald are the holdovers, with Johnson likely at one cornerback spot and likely Tedric Thompson at safety with Earl Thomas continuing his holdout. Rookie Tre Flowers is also in the mix for significant playing time.Dickson never participated in training camp, and had a setback in his recovery from muscle injuries to his quadriceps and groin. He tweeted Friday that he was ready for the season Indianapolis Colts Hats , but as additional insurance the Seahawks acquired tight end Darrell Daniels from Indianapolis in exchange for wide receiver Marcus Johnson.It was one of two trades Seattle made Saturday, sending a 2019 seventh-round pick to Oakland in exchange for safety Shalom Luani.One piece of good news for Seattle was defensive end Dion Jordan being activated from the physically unable to perform list. Jordan had been sidelined during training camp because of a knee and shin injury, but coach Pete Carroll said last week that Jordan was on the cusp of returning. Jordan's addition would be a boost to a pass rush that is one of Seattle's biggest concerns going into the regular season.Among the more notable cuts for Seattle was veteran safety Maurice Alexander and wide receiver Amara Darboh, a 2017 third-round pick.Alexander was a surprise cut especially after he spent a big chunk of the preseason finale against Oakland showing his versatility by playing weakside linebacker. Alexander was thought to be a potential veteran option at safety and could possibly fill in at linebacker if rookie Shaquem Griffin struggled. Griffin is in line to start the opener with K.J. Wright recovering from minor knee surgery.Darboh never flashed as the Seahawks had hoped and was beat out for the fifth wide receiver spot by David Moore, another draft pick from 2017. Moore had been a standout during the preseason both as a wide receiver and on special teams. Darboh was also impacted by Seattle's decision to carry five running backs, although J.D. McKissic is currently out with a foot injury.Seattle also released linebacker D.J. Alexander Indianapolis Colts Hoodie , a special teams standout a season ago, 2017 draft pick Mike Tyson and rookie quarterback Alex McGough. McGough showed enough in preseason to be a developmental option on the practice squad after being taken in the seventh-round this year.Along with Maxwell, offensive lineman Jamarco Jones, quarterback Austin Davis and linebacker Erik Walden were placed on injured reserve.2018 Opponent Scouting Report: Jets special teams and a prediction OverviewOn October 14, 2018 the Indianapolis Colts will travel to take on the New York Jets. In this week six match-up I sought to understand our opponent and get a better idea of how they may attack our new look Colts.Since 2012 the Colts are 1-2 in games against the Jets. The last coming in December of 2016 when our Colts absolutely destroyed the Jets 41-10. Andrew Luck went 22 of 28 with 278 yards, 4 touchdowns and no interceptions. The Colts defense also racked up three interceptions. A lot has changed in the past two years Cheap Customized Indianapolis Colts Jerseys , let’s just hope that the outcome looks the same.Let’s figure out what we can expect in week six.Kicker:Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty ImagesBefore arriving in New York Jason Myers spent two and a half years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. During his time there he was 81% for his career, which doesn’t tell the whole story. His 2017 season came to an end after six games and four missed filed goals, the Jags decided to go in a different direction. For his career Myers is just 11 for 20 from beyond 50 yards, so if the Jets need a long kick, it’s totally a coin flip. He hit is last one from beyond 50 so he’s due for a miss. Needless to say, I’ll feel pretty knowing Myers is on the other team.Punter:Photo by Larry French/Getty ImagesLac Edwards is a much better punter than Jason Myers is a kicker. Which makes sense given the Jets recent history www.thecoltsfootballauthentic.com , Edwards has been given a lot of on the job practice. He’s currently averaging nearly 48 yards per punt and when the need arises I have no doubt he’ll be able to flip the field.Returner:Andre Roberts is a dangerous punt returner and a mediocre kick returner. At least that’s what his production tells us. So far this year on 10 punt returns Roberts is averaging 23 yards per return, which is tops in the league. Kick returns are another story, on 8 attempts he is averaging just over 17 yards per return, which is no where near the top of the league. We may not have to worry about Roberts as he may have to miss the game due to an elbow injury. In his place we will likely see Trenton Cannon a 6th round rookie out of Virginia State here’s what nfl.com had to say about Cannon as a prospect:Frankly I don’t like anything about either of these returners as a Colts fan. Final Thoughts for The Week:This is a game a healthy Colts team wins and they do it in a convincing fashion. But the Colts aren’t anywhere near healthy. Playing in an overtime game and again just a few days later was more than what a large portion of the Colts roster could handle and the NFL proved how little they actually care about player safety when they can turn a profit instead. I’m not sold on where the Colts are given their injury situation. I believe Andrew Luck is completely capable of pulling any team he’s on to victory but I’m afraid the Colts are meeting the Jets as they’re figuring out who they are and the Colts are right at the point where they’re going to have to rediscover what they’re capable of without a large portion of their starters unable to play. The Colts should win this game, but I think the Jets are going to come into this game ready to play and get a win at home. PredictionColts 24Jets 27
