The Seattle Seahawks announced Thursday that they’ve released WR Lance Lenoir from their practice squad and signed DT Demarcus Christmas to the unit. 

Here’s the Seahawks updated practice squad:

Lenoir, 25, wound up going undrafted out of Western Illinois back in 2017. He took part in the Bears rookie minicamp on a tryout basis before signing on with the Cowboys in 2018. 

Lenior was on and off of the Cowboys roster before ending up on injured reserve last year with a knee injury. Dallas waived him leading up to this year’s draft and he eventually signed on with the Seahawks before being added to their practice squad at the start of the season. 

For his NFL career, Lenoir has appeared in eight games for the Cowboys, but has yet to catch a pass. 

During his four-year college career at Western Illinois, Lenoir caught 273 passes for 3,796 yards receiving and 28 touchdowns over the course of 48 games. He also rushed for 58 yards on seven carries and totaled 809 kick return yards and another 214 punt return yards to go along with one touchdown.
