RB Alvin Pearman was placed on injured reserve, which was expected after he suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sunday in San Francisco. Pearman suffered a torn anterior-cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee.

DB Kevin Hobbs was moved from the practice squad to the active roster to take Pearman's place.

LB Cameron Jensen was released from the practice squad, leaving two spots on the eight-man unit. T Kyle Williams and LS Jared Retkofsky were signed to the practice squad. Williams was with the Seahawks in training camp, and his addition is to provide some depth at tackle with Ray Willis expected to miss the next six weeks or so with a sprained knee. Now, Williams won't be dressing or anything. Floyd Womack and Tom Ashworth are both ahead of him in terms of depth at tackle, but he presumably would provide some insurance.

More eyebrow-raising is the addition of Retkofsky. Coach Mike Holmgren mentioned on Monday that the snap may have played a role in the punt the 49ers partially blocked on Sunday. Derek Rackley is the Seahawks' current long-snapper, taking over the job after J.P. Darche was injured last season.
