  "account": "On August 26, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks bolstered their practice squad by adding a rookie seventh-round guard, Evan Beernsten. This move came about after A.J. Finley was promoted to the active roster, leaving an open spot on the practice squad. Beernsten, a Northwestern alumnus, spent the past six seasons at South Dakota State. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the seventh round but was unable to secure a spot on the team's final roster. Beernsten, who will turn 26 later in the week, primarily played as a right guard during his college career. The Seahawks did not have any guards on their practice squad, and Christian Haynes and Beau Stephens were the backup guards on the active roster. As of September 14, the updated practice squad for the Seahawks includes Evan Beernsten at offensive guard, alongside Logan Brown, Bobby Hart, and Federico Maranges.",
