### Seahawks Announce Roster Changes Ahead of Crucial 49ers Matchup

The Seahawks have made significant adjustments to their roster as they prepare for their Week 11 game against the 49ers in Santa Clara. Key changes include promoting receiver Cody White and tight end Tyler Mabry from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. These moves come with the placement of center Connor Williams on the reserve/retired list and the waiving of nose tackle Brandon Pili.

In addition to these roster updates, safety Ty Okada and linebacker Patrick O'Connell have been elevated from the practice squad to add depth ahead of the important game. White, who made his Seahawks debut in Week 9 against the Rams, shone in that appearance by blocking a punt on special teams, catching two passes for 44 yards, and drawing a pass interference penalty.

Seahawks coach Macdonald expressed his satisfaction with White’s performance saying, "Glad that he had an opportunity show what he had to do. Guys were fired up for him. It shows the depth we have on our football team. Like I said, we have the right guys. Just having an opportunity. This guy plays extremely hard. Love Cody. Happy for him."

Tyler Mabry, who has been with the Seahawks since 2020 and appeared in eight games, adds critical depth at the tight end position, especially with Noah Fant and Brady Russell currently sidelined with injuries. Patrick O'Connell, signed as an undrafted free agent from Montana last year, has seen action in two games over the past two seasons and will increase the linebacker options following Tyrel Dodson’s release.

Safety Ty Okada, also an undrafted free agent from Montana State, has shown his capability by appearing in two games this season and playing in five as a rookie. His elevation aims to bolster the team's defense as they face a challenging opponent.
