Seahawks' D.J. James: Comes off NFI list
James (undisclosed) was activated off Seattle's active/non-football injury list Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.
James had been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he's eligible to return to the field now that he's passed his physical. Since the 2024 sixth-round pick is fully healthy once again, he's expected to compete with Chris Steele and Nehemiah Pritchett for a depth role in the Seahawks' secondary as the offseason progresses.

Seahawks' D.J. James: Placed on active/NFI list

Seahawks' D.J. James: Seattle ends tumble in Round 6
The Seahawks selected James in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 192nd overall.
By selecting James, the Seahawks reunite him with fellow corner and former Auburn teammate Nehemiah Pritchett, whom Seattle selected in the fifth round. Whereas Pritchett is a typical Seattle-style boundary corner (taller, longer arms, fast), James is very much not a typical Seattle corner. That's because James is rail-thin by cornerback standards (6-feet, 175 pounds) and has short arms (31 inches), two details that make James a poor fit for the press coverage Seattle is known for. James was an effective starter for Auburn and has plenty of speed to work with (4.42-second 40-yard dash), and apparently that was enough for Seattle, especially so late in the draft.
