RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have released veteran defensive tackle Colin Cole and offensive lineman Mike Gibson among their 20 roster cuts to reach the league-mandated 53-player limit.

Seattle announced the cuts Saturday night.

The Seahawks also placed defensive lineman Jimmy Wilkerson on injured reserve after Wilkerson suffered a knee injury in Friday night’s preseason finale against Oakland.

The Seahawks cut just one draft pick, releasing safety Mark LeGree, who was a fifth-round pick out of Appalachian State. Seattle cut safety Josh Pinkard as well after undrafted free agent Jeron Johnson out of Boise State impressed during training camp.

Other undrafted rookies to make Seattle’s final roster include QB Josh Portis and WR Doug Baldwin.
