Going through significant changes at safety this offseason, the Seahawks made Rayshawn Jenkins<\/a><\/strong> one of their solutions. While the team has moved on from both its stopgap linebacker starters (Jerome Baker<\/a><\/strong>, Tyrel Dodson<\/a><\/strong>) already, Jenkins remains in the team\u2019s plan for the regular season\u2019s final third.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Seahawks designated Jenkins for return Wednesday, The Athletic\u2019s Michael-Shawn Dugar notes<\/a>. Jenkins has missed time due to a hand injury. The offseason pickup had played multiple games with a hand cast and needed an IR stay; that stint looks to be coming to an end.<\/p>\n

Jenkins joined the Seahawks on a two-year, $12MM deal<\/a>. Considering how Quandre Diggs<\/a><\/strong> and Jamal Adams<\/a><\/strong> (among other veteran safeties) fared upon being cut, the offseason Jaguars release<\/a> did well to catch on. Seattle guaranteed the former Jacksonville and Los Angeles starter more than $6MM and used him as a first-stringer exclusively.<\/p>\n

Seattle has Julian Love<\/a><\/strong> as its new centerpiece safety, having extended the former Giant this summer<\/a>. The team took on more than $30MM in combined dead money by cutting Adams and Diggs, doing so without post-June 1 designations, but still has shown a preference for veterans on the back end.<\/p>\n

Jenkins, 30, has made 86 career starts between his time with the Chargers, Jags and Seahawks. He made a notable impact during the Seahawks-Giants matchup, returning a fumble 102 yards for a touchdown. Seattle has used 2022 fourth-round pick Coby Bryant<\/a><\/strong> in Jenkins\u2019 place over the past four games. Pro Football Focus ranks Bryant and Love as top-20 regulars among safeties, which could make for an interesting decision once Jenkins is activated. Although the Seahawks have placed George Fant<\/a><\/strong> on IR a second time, they are in good shape for injury activations, holding six going into Week 12.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
