Christmas was waived by the Seahawks on Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The defensive tackle failed to make the initial 53-man roster after spending all of last season on the team's PUP list.

The Seahawks opted to not Christmas's (back) from the PUP list before his 21-day practice period to expired, thus ending his season, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie sixth-round pick was designated to return Oct. 16, but Christmas never got healthy enough. He'll now miss the rest of the season and look to get back into the mix during OTAs in the spring.

Christmas (back) remains on the PUP list and is on track to be sidelined for the remainder of the 2019 season, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christmas was originally designated to return off the PUP list as he resumed practicing in mid-October, but the rookie defensive tackle may miss the entirety of the 2019 campaign after suffering a back injury in July.

Christmas (back) was designated to return off the PUP list and resumed practicing Wednesday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Christmas (back) will begin to practice next week according to head coach Pete Carroll, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christmas has spent the entire season on the PUP list as he nurses a back injury. He will be eligible to return to the practice field next week and then the coaching staff will have three weeks to decide if they want to move the defensive tackle to the active roster.

The Seahawks placed Christmas (back) on the reserve/PUP list to begin the season, per the league's official transactions report.

EDGE Analysis

Christmas spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list and now pivots to the reserve/PUP. He'll be unable to practice or play for the first six weeks of the regular season.

Head coach Pete Carroll said Christmas is dealing with a back issue, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christmas was originally placed on the PUP list July 17 with an undisclosed issue. The team can activate him at any time between now and the preseason, but he'll be unable to practice until then.

The Seahawks placed Christmas (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Christmas' injury is unknown in both nature and severity. Because training camp hasn't started just yet, the team can take the rookie off the PUP list anytime between now and the end of preseason.

The Seahawks selected Christmas in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 209th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Some linemen are made for shooting gaps, others are meant to occupy them. Christmas (6-foot-3, 294 pounds) is clearly the latter, as he started the last three years for Florida State but never really showed up much in the box score. The Seahawks will hope he can contribute run-stopping snaps.
