Seahawks Get ‘Dominant’ Former Jets Playmaker Back for Broncos Matchup

The Seattle Seahawks have waited months to put their offseason investment in punt coverage to work. Irv Charles has a chance to show why John Schneider sounded so eager. Seattle activated the veteran receiver from injured reserve Tuesday, clearing the way for a potential team debut against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. The move brings a player with an unusual combination of size and speed into the mix. Charles stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 219 pounds, and his most established NFL skill involves chasing down returners.
