1/11/2012: Signed a reserve/future contract.

Seahawks signed RB Vai Taua to a reserve/future contract.
Undrafted last April out of Nevada, where he teamed with Colin Kaepernick and Virgil Green, Taua spent most of his rookie year on Seattle's practice squad. Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett are impending unrestricted free agents, but Taua still figures to have a tough time cracking the 53-man roster in 2012.

Seahawks re-signed RB Vai Taua.
Taua has two rushed for 15 yards so far in the preseason. The undrafted rookie from Nevada will be the Seahawks' fifth running back for the time being.
Wed, Aug 24, 2011 06:13:00 PM
Seahawks waived RB Vai Taua.
He goes to make room for LB David Vobora. Taua was Colin Kaepernick's running back at Nevada, putting up outrageous yards-per-carry numbers but lacking NFL-caliber physical tools. He won't be worth much of a look on waivers.
Mon, Aug 22, 2011 04:43:00 PM
Seahawks signed RB Vai Taua and LB Michael Johnson.
Taua went undrated out of Nevada after racking up 4,400 rushing yards and 52 TDs the past three seasons. A 4.62 forty at the Combine did him no favors. Johnson, the 2009 Gulf South Conference Defensive Player of the Year, was just waived by Seattle last week. They've apparently had a change of heart.

Sidney Rice
Sidelined
Seahawks WRs Sidney Rice (shoulder surgeries) and Kris Durham (shoulder surgery) ran routes during Thursday's OTA workout.
Both players, along with sixth-round S Winston Guy, wore red non-contact jerseys as a precaution. The optimistic Seahawks expect Rice to be the healthiest he's ever been by the time training camp rolls around. As far as we're concerned, the three concussions in a 12-month span are every bit as worrisome as Rice's twin shoulder surgeries.

Kris Durham
Sidelined
Seahawks WR Kris Durham, placed on injured reserve this week, underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.
So there's no truth to the rumor that Durham injured his shoulder when the Seahawks twisted his arm to go on I.R. The 2011 fourth-rounder is facing a six-month recovery timetable, leaving him questionable for an important round of OTAs next spring.

Golden Tate
Sidelined
Seahawks WR Golden Tate is sporting a cast on his hand after suffering an injury in Wednesday's practice.
Tate was absent from Thursday's practice, though the severity of the injury is unclear. Tate is expected to compete for the starting job opposite Sidney Rice this summer.

Mike Williams
Sidelined
Receivers Mike Williams (leg) and Sidney Rice (shoulder surgeries, concussions) are not taking part in Seahawks voluntary workouts.
Rice's absence was expected, but there was an outside chance Williams would participate. Recovering from a broken left ankle and fibula, Williams will have to be 100 percent healthy to even be in the mix for a roster spot in training camp.
