Seahawks bring veteran safety back to practice squad
The Seahawks add a fourth safety to their practice squad ahead of their opening night Super Bowl rematch with the Patriots.
On August 23, 2025, the Seattle Seahawks made a practice squad change ahead of their Week 1 game against the New England Patriots. Veteran safety D'Anthony Bell was added to the practice squad, replacing rookie outside linebacker Marvin Jones Jr. who was released during final roster cuts. Bell, who was previously released by the Seahawks as a vested veteran, did not go through waivers and was not initially added to the practice squad.
However, Bell's playing style mirrors that of the injured Nick Emmanwori, making him a potential candidate to be elevated to the active roster if Emmanwori is unable to play due to his ongoing ankle surgery recovery. The updated practice squad includes several changes with the addition of Bell to the defense.
