Chargers' Shalom Luani: Joins Chargers
Luani was signed to the active roster Saturday.
Roderic Teamer (groin), who has been forced to start with injuries to Derwin James (foot) and Adrian Phillips (forearm), is currently listed as doubtful, leaving just Rayshawn Jenkins and Jaylen Watkins as the only two healthy safeties to have played a single down with the team this season. As a result, Luani might be forced into significant playing time Sunday against the Packers.

Seahawks' Shalom Luani: Remains in Seattle
Luani signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the Seahawks on Monday, Josh Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Luani played primarily in a special teams role for the Seahawks last season, contributing nine tackles (seven solo) across 12 games. With Bradley McDougald firmly holding down the starting free safety role, Luani will have to focus on remaining a key contributor on special teams in 2019.

Seahawks' Shalom Luani: Back to full speed
Luani (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Unless Luani suffers a setback during Saturday's practice, he'll be ready to go for Monday's game versus the Vikings. He works strictly in a special teams role and will try to add to his six tackles (five solo) in eight games.

Seahawks' Shalom Luani: Not playing Week 13
Luani (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Luani was a midweek addition to the Seahawks' injury report, with the quad issue first reported after he logged a full practice Wednesday. His absence for the Week 13 contest will be felt primarily on special teams, as the reserve safety has logged just three defensive snaps this season.

Seahawks' Shalom Luani: Doubtful for Week 13
Luani (quadriceps) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Luani sustained a quadriceps injury during this week's practice, according to Crabtree, and is trending towards a Week 13 absence. The second-year safety has only played three defensive snaps this season, so his lack of availability would be unlikely to notably impact Seattle's secondary.

The Seahawks waived Luani on Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Seahawks' Shalom Luani: Traded to Seattle
The Raiders traded Luani to the Seahawks on Saturday, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Between injuries and Earl Thomas' contract holdout, the Seahawks are looking awfully shaky at safety, even after Saturday's minor trade. Luani, a 2017 seventh-round pick, will be reunited with Seahawks defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr., who held the same role in Oakland last season. It's a nice opportunity to stick around on an NFL roster, but Luani probably won't have a big role in the Seattle defense.

Raiders' Shalom Luani: Earns start at safety
Luani will start at strong safety for the Raiders during Sunday's game against the Bills, Scott Bair of NBCSportsBayArea.com reports.
Luani draws the start with Karl Joseph sidelined due to a groin injury. The 2017 seventh-rounder has been used primarily on special teams thus far, logging only five defensive snaps through the Raiders' first seven games.

Raiders' Shalom Luani: Picked in seventh round
The Raiders selected Luani in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 221st overall.
Luani is a former soccer player who showed a bit of a center fielder skill set at Washington State, intercepting four passes each of the last two years. Oakland is set at safety, so he'll try to make a special teams impact.
