The Seattle Seahawks have released wide receiver and kick returner Laviska Shenault Jr. following a poor performance by the special teams against the New York Jets. Shenault's mistakes, including two fumbles and a missed kick return, contributed to the team's struggles in the Week 13 matchup.

With Shenault's departure, the Seahawks are expected to fill his roster spot by signing a free agent or promoting a player from their practice squad. Rookie Kenny McIntosh may step in to handle special teams duties.
