Seattle Seahawks: Deliver Massive News for Special Teams Ace

The Seattle Seahawks play the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in Super Bowl 60 on Sunday night. Seattle’s special teams unit will need all the help they can get, particularly against New England’s Second-Team All-Pro punt returner Marcus Jones. Jones ranks fourth in punt return yardage, tied for first in yards per punt return, and tied for first in punt return touchdowns, totaling 21 returns for 363 yards, a 17.3 average, and two scores.

The team may have a standout available for the Big Game.

Seattle Seahawks special teams standout is questionable

Chazz Surratt suffered an ankle injury in Week 12, which led him to land on injured reserve the following week, sidelining him for the previous eight games. The special teams ace with eight special teams tackles through 11 games returned to practice on Tuesday, January 13, but ultimately did not play in the Divisional Round or the NFC Championship Game. Surratt was estimated as a full participant during last week’s practice, prompting the Seahawks to rule him questionable. He had to be activated by 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday for him to play next Sunday; otherwise, he will revert to the season-ending injured reserve.

Seattle Seahawks deliver massive news for special teams ace

According to Brady Henderson of ESPN NFL Nation, the Seahawks have activated Chazz Surratt right before the deadline. In a corresponding move, the team placed third-string offensive tackle Amari Kight, battling a knee injury, on injured reserve to make room for the special teams ace on the 53-man roster. Surratt may play in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, though there is no guarantee he will be on the gameday roster. 

The Seahawks activated backup linebacker and special teams standout Chazz Surratt from injured reserve today, the team announced. They placed backup tackle Amari Kight on IR.
