The Seattle Seahawks made a roster move Tuesday, placing rookie defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson on injured reserve, the result of a knee injury sustained in practice last week. Jefferson’s injury will require surgery, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday.
To fill the open spot on the 53-man roster, the Seahawks signed defensive end Malliciah Goodman. Goodman, a fourth-round pick in the 2013 draft, has appeared in 34 games over the past three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, starting 11. The 6-foot-4, 276-pound Goodman had his best season in 2014, starting 10 games while recording 17 tackles and two forced fumbles.
Jefferson, a fifth-round pick out of Maryland, appeared in three games this season, recording one tackle. Additionally, running back Zac Brooks was released from the practice squad.
