The Seattle Seahawks released defensive lineman Malik McDowell at the start of training camp Thursday.

The 2017 second-round pick never played a down for the team following an ATV accident.

Cornerback DeAndre Elliott were also released ahead of Seattle's first practice.

McDowell was released with a non-football injury designation Womens Robin Lehner Jersey , while Elliott failed his physical.

Seattle had high hopes for McDowell when he was taken as the Seahawks' first draft pick in 2017. He never saw the field, though, after suffering a severe concussion in an ATV accident prior to the start of training camp a year ago. The team remained vague about his specific injuries throughout last season, but it became clear he might never suit up.

The Seahawks also placed safety Kam Chancellor on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The procedural move was expected after Chancellor announced he was unlikely to play again due to a neck injury but didn't officially retire due to his contract.

Showing yet again that good slalom beats good downhill in Alpine combined, Victor Muffat-Jeandet rose from 27th place to win a World Cup on Friday.

The Frenchman got his first career win using the fastest run in slalom to finish 0.96 seconds ahead of Pavel Trikhichev of Russia.

Trikhichev, who also got a career-best result Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey , had been 29th after the morning downhill, earning use of the best snow surface in slalom when the top 30 start in reverse order.

”Combined is always a crazy day,” Muffat-Jeandet said. ”You have to fight to stay in the top 30 in downhill.”

Peter Fill of Italy was the best of the downhill specialists, placing third 1.15 behind Muffat-Jeandet after being fourth fastest in the morning. Fill edged Kjetil Jansrud of Norway off the podium by 0.01.

Trikhichev’s previous World Cup best was 16th last Saturday in a giant slalom at nearby Adelboden.

”Surprised, I was really shocked,” the Russian said of his runner-up performance which earned 20 Travis Konecny Jersey ,000 Swiss francs ($20,600) in prize money. ”I (thought I) could be top 10 but podium is just, `Wow.”’

First-run leader Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria started his slalom run with 2.55 in hand over Muffat-Jeandet but quickly skied out.

World champion Luca Aerni of Switzerland also failed to finish the slalom when holding a 0.40-second lead over Muffat-Jeandet from downhill.

When Aerni won the gold medal on home snow at St. Moritz last February, he was 30th in downhill and got a first run on a clean slalom surface. The 2015 world title was also won by the 30th fastest downhill racer, Austrian star Marcel Hirscher.

The field on Friday was weakened by the winner of the previous combined this season, Alexis Pinturault of France Womens Victor Rask Jersey , opting not to start to focus on training for a slalom on Sunday.

Pinturault’s absence allowed Jansrud to close the gap on his third place in the overall World Cup points standings led by six-time defending champion Hirscher who will next race Sunday.

Though men’s and women’s combined are on the Olympic program at the Pyeongchang Games next month, the event’s long-term future is in question.

A mixed gender team event in parallel slalom debuts at the Olympics and the more dynamic, television-friendly racing format is being promoted by the International Ski Federation.

Muffat-Jeandet suggested there would be no World Cup combined event next year at Wengen, where he got a first career podium finish in 2015.

”It’s a little bit of a shame because maybe I will not be coming back in downhill because there will not be a combined,” he said.

The highlight of the three-race meeting is the storied Lauberhorn downhill on Saturday over 4.3 kilometers, the longest course on the World Cup circuit.

On a shorter 2.9-kilometer course on Friday Christopher Tanev Jersey , the fastest speed of 146.97 kph (92 mph) was clocked by Dominik Paris of Italy. He placed fifth overall, 0.03 behind teammate Fill.

Clear blue skies are forecast on Saturday for Switzerland’s favorite Alpine race which was cancelled last year because of poor weather.
