Renton, WA (SportsNetwork.com) – The Seattle Seahawks waived offensive tackle Garrett Scott with the non-football illness designation, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n

“After undergoing an extensive physical with our medical staff last week, Garrett’s examination revealed a rare heart condition that will prevent him from any on-field participation in the near future,” said Seattle general manager John Schneider. “We think highly of Garrett as a person and as a football player. The team is committed to supporting Garrett in the months to come and will continue to help him determine his next steps.”<\/p>\n
