SEATTLE (AP) The Seattle Seahawks have waived defensive tackle Jordan Hill and veteran offensive lineman Jahri Evans as part of the moves to reach the 53-man roster limit.

Seattle's roster cuts were posted to the team's official website on Saturday.

Hill was waived with an injury designation after suffering a hamstring injury in the preseason finale against Oakland on Thursday, ending an injury-filled career with the Seahawks. Hill was a third-round pick in 2013, but never played in more than 13 games in a season. Before the start of training camp, Hill was expected to be a starter.

Evans' veteran contract was terminated after he was signed during training camp, but he was clearly going to be a backup.

Seattle also made a pair of trades Saturday, acquiring defensive backs L.J. McCray from San Francisco and Dewey McDonald from Oakland.
