The Seattle Seahawks have made a somewhat surprising move, letting go of a cornerback who made a couple of big plays early in the season.

Derion Kendrick, claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks after roster cutdown day in August, was waived on Tuesday in the team’s sole transaction. Considering no one was signed to the active roster after Tory Horton was placed on injured reserve, the Seahawks currently have two vacant spots on the 53-man roster.

Kendrick was called upon early in the season while Devon Witherspoon was out injured. He played a combined 99 snaps against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints, recording two interceptions and five passes defensed. More cornerback injuries led to the former Los Angeles Ram getting 19 snaps against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
