KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Deion Branch will not make his Seattle Seahawks debut Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, after all.

The NFL has given the Seahawks a two-week roster exemption for the former Super Bowl MVP, acquired Monday from the New England Patriots in a trade that ended Branch's 45-day contract holdout. Seattle would have had to release a player from its 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon in order to add Branch for Sunday's game.
A Seahawks team spokesman confirmed they did not.
That means Seattle's wide receivers will again be Darrell Jackson, Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram and D.J. Hackett.
