RENTON, Wash. (AP) – The Seattle Seahawks released offensive lineman Chester Pitts on Thursday, a day after coach Pete Carroll sounded hopeful Pitts might start this week against St. Louis.
The Seahawks announced the move during practice on Thursday. Pitts, a left guard, was attempting to work his way back after having microfracture surgery on his right knee early in the 2009 season while playing for Houston.
On Wednesday, Carroll was hopeful that both Pitts and rookie first-round pick Russell Okung would potentially play this week against the Rams. Pitts was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
Seattle also re-signed offensive lineman Mike Gibson to the practice squad Thursday and released running back Chris Henry.
