The Seahawks have made their roster moves, and they include sixth-round draft pick Tyler Schmitt being placed on injured reserve. So the long snapper drama continues.
The other moves:
Omare Lowe, who gave up the two-point conversion last night, was waived.
WR Joel Filani was waived.
LB Will Herring was placed on PUP. He can come back after six games and has three weeks to practice with the team to determine if he is healthy enough to go on.
OT William Robinson was placed on injured reserve.

"I have a call in to the Hawks regarding Lofa's injury, but they are currently not answering. Just to give you a heads-up, their MO this preseason has been to announce the injury the day after the MRI, so they may not be releasing anything on that today."

Was the Schmitt's injury really that bad? Or is this the Leonard Weaver Manuver all over again?
Osiris,
The team REALLY wanted Tyler Schmitt to be the long snapper. If he was at all able to come back and do his job they'd have taken him over Lindsey in a heartbeat. No reason to hide a guy on IR if you think he's going to make the team.
Now if you are thinking this was a situation where he might have been ready by, say game 5 or 6 then you might as well IR him so you don't lose him. He was wanted by several teams.

No limit on PUP. Only limit is players can only be PUP'ed that have not practiced at all with the team during camp.
So, in Seattle's case that puts the limit on the PUP list to Herring and Branch (and theoretically Tubbs before he was cut). Every other player on the roster has been active for 1 or more of the training camp practices.

Well, I here Boone Stutz is available. I mean, Timmay! though he was good enough to replace the guy he thought was good enough to replace Darche.
I think a long snapper gets hurt running downfield and breaking up wedges/making tackles, like everyone else who gets hurt on special teams.

Well look, releasing Darche was a definite "Timmay!" move, but it's not his fault the guy got hurt. I'm not calling a "Timmay!" unless it turns out the guy is healthy in week 3.
Good for Tim Lindsay. This was the guy who bailed on his own honeymoon for one last shot at the NFL and it looks like he will get his shot. Look, there are 32 long snappers in the NFL and other than the Seahawks' ongoing carousel of long-snappers I couldn't name a single one of them. It is important but consistency is what matters. Lindsay has time enough, and apparently the confidence of the staff, and he will be fine.
Adamtoth,
I don't remember who started the year for us but we brought in Boone Stutz for a game or two (is first game he had the bad snap to Plack during the N.O. game) and then we replaced Stutz with Lindsay who finished the year with us. We let him go in April when we signed Tyler Schmitt. Thank goodess he was still available for us so we didn't have to go ask Stutz.

Derek Rackley, Boone Stutz and Jeff Robinson were the long snappers last season. Lindsey was signed after the season and cut after the draft. The team then signed Lindsey again when Schmitt got hurt.
