Seahawks set 1st practice squad. It has an ex-All Pro + a lot of familiar faces
Every one of the 17 players were with the Super Bowl champions this preseason.
The Seattle Seahawks have established their first practice squad of the regular season, comprising a mix of former All-Pro players and familiar faces. Among the 17 players on the squad, rookie draft picks who were previously waived are included. The team has also reinstated safety AJ Finley, who returned from reconstructive knee surgery in the previous year's season.
The squad features a diverse group of rookies, including linebackers Marvin Jones Jr. and Uso Seumalo, as well as wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr. Veteran safety Rodney Thomas II re-joins the squad, having played as a starter for the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the team's attempts to add linebacker Jared Ivey through league waivers, the Atlanta Falcons claimed him, and he remains a free agent.
The practice squad is a crucial aspect of the NFL, allowing teams to add more players for added depth and practice opportunities.
