Seahawks place Kam Chancellor on reserve/PUP list, waive 2017 second-round pick Malik McDowell

Kam Chancellor could still decide to play in the NFL.

Kam Chancellor could still decide to play in the NFL, but he's done for the 2018 season after the Seattle Seahawks placed him on the reserve/physically unable to perform list at the outset of training camp.

Seattle also parted ways with defensive tackle Malik McDowell, a second-round pick in 2017 out of Michigan State who never took the field in a game due to injuries incurred in a July 2017 ATV mishap.

Chancellor, who posted via Twitter earlier in the month that his career was over, has not yet filed official retirement paperwork. However, his neck injury was presumed to be career-threatening and the heavy-hitting safety is making no attempt to get on the field.

McDowell, 22, was waived with a non-football injury designation.

The Seahawks did not have an Earl Thomas sighting as the remaining anchor of the "Legion of Boom" secondary dug in for what could be an extended holdout.

In addition to Chancellor, the Seahawks subtracted cornerback Richard Sherman from the roster. He was released and signed with the San Francisco 49ers.

Thomas is in the final year of his contract with the Seahawks and presented the team with a "pay me or trade me" ultimatum.
