The Seahawks may turn to a corner-by-committee strategy to replace Justin Coleman as their nickel back this season.Coleman signed a four-year deal with the Detroit Lions in free agency after serving as Seattle's slot cornerback for the last two seasons. He had played more than two-thirds of the team's defensive snaps in 2018 as the Seahawks used more five and six defensive back packages.Now the Seahawks don't have a single clear option to take over the role. Instead Anthony Zettel Jersey White , they have four different cornerbacks vying for the job heading into the second preseason game. Akeem King, Kalan Reed, Jamar Taylor and fourth-round pick Ugo Amadi have all had a chance to show what they can do during training camp."Kalan Reed did a nice job in the game, Ugo Amadi did a nice job in the game, too Danny Amendola Jersey White , in the plays that he had, and we know that Jamar Taylor and Akeem King can play there," coach Pete Carroll said. "So, we've got four guys that it's kind of hard to get their reps right, right now."Carroll indicated the job could be filled by having interchangeable pieces on a weekly basis instead of one guy in the spot full-time."There's reasons for having multiple guys Michael Roberts Jersey White ," Carroll said.King was used occasionally in the role last season against bigger slot receivers. He was called upon to match up with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in Week 16. But while King may be the right fit to match up against Kelce or bigger receivers such as Larry Fitzgerald, Reed, Taylor or Amadi may be better at covering shiftier players like Tyreek Hill or Taylor Gabriel.King and Amadi appear to be locks for the roster while Taylor, a six-year veteran, and Reed try to show they deserve spots as well."I think it's harder for the coaches to find reps Golden Tate III Jersey White ," Taylor said. "I think it's hard for those guys to figure out how they want to do it. For us, it's friendly competition. I know I'm the oldest of the group so I'm always trying to help those guys figure things out. If I'm here and I'm playing, great. If I'm not, then I know I left it better than I found it and those guys will be ready to roll."Reed has been working with the first-team defense in practice recently and could get the nod again in the team's second preseason game against Minnesota on Sunday. He was the first off the bench when Seattle went to five defensive backs against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. He spent a chunk of last season on the team's practice squad before being promoted to the active roster late in the year."Just sitting out last year I was ready to hit somebody so it was exciting," said Reed Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , who did not dress for a game last season. "Your time is going to come so you've just got to ready when your number is called. Game day was fun finally getting a chance to strap it up again and hit someone on another team." Lions cornerback Amani Oruwariye broke word of his signing ahead of the team’s official announcement, but it came a short time later on Thursday.In addition to Oruwariye, the Lions also announced that they have signed first-round pick T.J. Hockenson and second-rounder Jahlani Tavai. They now have six unsigned picks.Hockenson was the eighth overall pick this year, which makes him the first tight end drafted in the top 10 since the Lions drafted Eric Ebron in 2014. It’s the highest any tight end has been selected since Vernon Davis went sixth overall to the 49ers in 2006.Hockenson won the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end in 2018 after catching 49 passes for 760 yards and six touchdowns at Iowa.Tavai racked up 206 tackles over his final two years as a linebacker at Hawaii and will join 2017 first-round pick Jarrad Davis in the Detroit linebacking corps.
