In another shakeup to their inside linebacker corps, the Seattle Seahawks waived starter Tyrel Dodson on Monday. The move comes as the Seahawks are returning from their bye on the heels of five losses in the past six games that dropped them to 4-5 and into last place in the NFC West.

The Seattle Seahawks have waived linebacker Tyrel Dodson in a shake-up of their struggling defense. Dodson started all nine games this season for the Seahawks, seven at middle linebacker and the past two games on the weak side after the team traded for middle linebacker Ernest Jones IV.

First-year head coach Mike Macdonald, a defensive specialist who led Baltimore’s top-ranked defense last season, has faced challenges in building consistency in Seattle’s unit.
