Here is the release from New England:
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots placed cornerback Jason Webster on the reserve/injured list today. Webster will miss the remainder of the 2008 season with an ankle injury.
Webster, 31, is a veteran of nine NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (2000-03), Atlanta Falcons (2004-06), Buffalo Bills (2007) and Patriots (2008). He was signed by the Patriots as a free agent on March 3, 2008, and was released by New England on Aug. 26 before being re-signed by the Patriots on Nov. 5.

Seattle Seahawks
Two more Seattle players, center Chris Spencer and guard Mike Wahle, are likely headed for the injured reserve, Frank Hughes reports. Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren said the team will bring in a group of free agents to select from to back up Steve Vallos at center.
The Seahawks will continue to play to win, and already are playing several of their young players, reports Scott Johnson of the Everett Herald. Running back T.J. Duckett may see more time so he can be evaluated.
More Johnson: He talks to draft guru Rob Rang about the prospects who could be available for the Seahawks in next year’s draft.
