Spiller in Seattle

RENTON, WASH.— The Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign veteran running back C.J. Spiller with the team running out of depth at running back.

The team said Wednesday Spiller’s signing likely would not be finalized until Thursday. Seattle coach Pete Carroll later confirmed the intent to sign Spiller. Seattle still has to release someone from its 53-man roster to clear a spot for Spiller.

Spiller was released by New Orleans on Sept. 13 after being inactive in Week 1.
