The season is over for Seattle’s No. 3 wide receiver. Goodwin did not practice this week and has been placed on IR with shoulder and wrist injuries. Goodwin finishes the year with 27 catches, 387 yards and four touchdowns. He will be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Taking Goodwin’s place on the 53-man roster will be outside linebacker Vi Jones, who’s been signed off the practice squad. Jones was elevated for three games earlier this season. He’s put in 43 total snaps so far, all on special teams.

The Seahawks are short a man at tight end with Will Dissly going on injured reserve earlier this week, so for the first time this season Mabry has been elevated from the practice squad. Mabry played six games last year but did not record a stat.

With Goodwin going on IR, Seattle needed another body at receiver. Enter Johnson, who is on his second elevation of the year. He also appeared for one offensive snap against the Giants earlier this season. To date that’s been his only action in the NFL.
