Seahawks sign linebacker to practice squad, release D’Anthony Bell
It’s the second day in a row the Seahawks have added a defender to their practice squad, and they’ve released a veteran to make room.
ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 27: The Seattle Seahawks have once again bolstered their practice squad with the signing of linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo. This comes just a day after their acquisition of defensive tackle Gary Smith III, according to reports from KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson.
Ciarlo, a third-year player from Army, was left undrafted after the 2024 NFL Draft. He suffered a significant injury during his first preseason with the New York Jets when he tore his ACL. Since then, Ciarlo has been affiliated with various teams, including the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and Tennessee Titans. He was part of Buffalo's final roster reductions, and had a short assignment with the Titans' practice squad earlier this month.
Despite his brief stint in the NFL, Ciarlo has only appeared in one regular-season game, which was a Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots in 2025. With a background covering much of the AFC East and a brief appearance with Robert Saleh in Tennessee, the 25-year-old linebacker now aims to earn a spot on the field with the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks.
