Urban

Seattle doesn’t need him with Koren Robinson returning this week.

Urban caught six passes and a TD before hitting the IR last season. He’s got a big frame and could compete for the No. 3 receiver role if the Seahawks lose a couple receivers this offseason.

Urban has skills but couldn’t stay healthy during his tenure in Seattle.

This move was expected after Urban cleared waivers.

The two catches double Urban’s season total after he ran as a starter for much of training camp. Although Urban’s touchdown was a hard fought grab in traffic, consider today a fluke for a player who has been active just six times this year.

He’ll be added to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Arenas’ absence is a blow to Kansas City’s nickel package. The Chiefs may use Travis Daniels as their third cornerback now, between Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr. Urban has been a healthy scratch since early in the season.

Per ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, the tryout went well. Mort also passed along that Mike Sims-Walker’s Titans workout was “not so good.” With the Titans intent on adding veteran insurance for Kenny Britt, Urban looks more likely to get a call.

Looney reiterates that the Chiefs are high on Urban, even after drafting McCluster 36th overall. The bottom line here is that the slot job won’t be a high-production spot in this Chiefs’ offense, but it’s worth monitoring the battle in camp to see if McCluster can separate himself.

Neither young player is a major factor the Seahawks.
