The Seahawks announced their two practice squad elevations on Saturday ahead of today’s road game against the Titans. First, for the second week in a row rookie safety Ty Okada has been elevated. Okada adds extra depth at safety with Jamal Adams being ruled out for the second consecutive game with a knee injury. With Julian Love’s child being born just in time for him to make today’s game, Okada will likely only see work on special teams.
The team also elevated former Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph from the practice squad. That move offers insurance regarding rookie corner Devon Witherspoon’s status. Spoon is dealing with what head coach Pete Carroll has called a “really painful” hip pointer injury. He’s listed as questionable but most likely will not be playing today as he has not practiced in two weeks. Joseph played four games for the Dolphins earlier this season. No NFL team is deeper at cornerback than the Seahawks this season, so unless something goes terribly wrong we likely won’t see Joseph on defense, either.
Here’s the full updated 53-man roster by jersey number going into Week 16.
