The Seattle Seahawks suffered injuries to both their starting tackles, Charles Cross and Abe Lucas. While initial reports were positive from head coach Pete Carroll on Sunday following their Week 1 loss, it seems there are still lingering concerns for the two.
Apparently concerned enough to be bringing in a 41-year old veteran to the team. Although, it’s not just any veteran, it’s future Hall of Famer Jason Peters. It was announced Tuesday morning the member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2010’s would be signing with the Seattle Seahawks.
Perennial Pro-Bowl OT Jason Peters is signing with the Seahawks, per his agent @eliteloyaltysp.

The Seahawks are signing Peters to their practice squad, I’m told. https://t.co/Y5RKQEOzUz

Peters has forged a remarkable NFL career during his now 20 years in the league. Originally an undrafted rookie with the Buffalo Bills in 2004, Peters spent the bulk of his prime with the Philadelphia Eagles. In his time with the Eagles, Peters helped deliver the first and only Lombardi Trophy to the City of Brotherly Love.
After two brief stints with the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys, it seems Peters is still wanting to show he has some gas left in the tank. Obviously this is not a great sign for Cross or Lucas, but if there needs to be a backup plan Seattle would be hard pressed to find a better one than Jason Peters.
