Seattle Seahawks waive wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr

The Seattle Seahawks are moving to waive wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr. as the team reduces its roster to the mandatory 53-man limit. Henderson, selected by the team with the 199th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, is the first player from the organization's current draft class to be cut. The wide receiver recorded four catches for 65 yards during the preseason, including a significant 30-yard reception from Jalen Milroe during a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The decision comes as Seattle manages high levels of competition at the wide receiver position, influenced by the emergence of Montorie Foster Jr. If Henderson clears the waiver wire, he is eligible to join the Seattle practice squad as early as Monday.
