Seahawks Activating DE Dion Jordan Off PUP List

Ian Rapoport reports that the Seahawks are activating DE Dion Jordan off their physically unable to perform list on Saturday.

Rapoport adds that Jordan has been dealing with a leg injury but is “doing well.”

Jordan underwent knee surgery back in June and was expected to miss 6-8 weeks, so he was anticipated to be healthy in time for the start of the regular season.

Jordan, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2010. He had two years remaining on his four-year, $20.572 million rookie contract when the Dolphins cut him loose.

The Dolphins traded up to No. 3 overall to select Jordan, but he hasn’t come anywhere close to living up to his draft status and has been suspended twice since entering the NFL for performance-enhancing drug violations and undergone two knee surgeries.

The Seahawks signed him to a one-year, $640,000 contract last offseason and placed him on the NFI list before activating him in November. Seattle brought Jordan back on a restricted deal worth around $1.9 million for the 2018 season.

In 2017, Jordan appeared in five games for Seattle and recorded 18 total tackles, four sacks, and one forced fumble.
