The Seattle Seahawks waive running back Anthony Hankerson, according to multiple reports. Hankerson signed with the team last week and appears to be released after limited preseason action, including a 19–16 preseason loss to Tennessee on Sunday night. In that game, he carries five times for 10 rushing yards.
Both outlets also note that Hankerson is in a position to consider returning to college play. One report additionally references that running back T.J. Harden is among those granted a temporary restraining order by a Louisiana judge, tying the roster-related moves to separate legal developments involving players. While the reporting agrees on the waiver and Hankerson’s recent on-field production, the coverage differs in how much emphasis it places on the potential college route versus the broader roster and legal context.
Overall, the Seahawks’ decision ends Hankerson’s short NFL preseason opportunity, while leaving open his next step outside Seattle.
