The club received roster relief after placing Brek Shea on the season-ending injury list earlier this week. Shea, who signed with the team in the offseason as a free agent, had 10 starts as part of 19 appearances this season, almost all as a left fullback. He suffered a knee injury in last week's game at Seattle that will force him to miss the rest of the season because of surgery.
