Seahawks re-sign LB Jamie Sheriff to practice squad

On Monday, the Seattle Seahawks released safety-turned-linebacker Michael Dowell from the practice squad. Dowell, undrafted and formerly with the Bengals, was only with the Seahawks organization for five days. In order to join the practice squad, Dowell took the place of linebacker Jamie Sheriff. After news broke of Dowell’s release, we at Seahawks Wire mused that his now-vacant spot may offer an avenue for Sheriff’s return.

Well, it turns out this was indeed the case! On Wednesday, Seattle announced they were bringing the fan-favorite linebacker back to their practice squad.

Sheriff made a name for himself during the 2024 preseason this past August. In three games, he recorded eight total tackles and three sacks. Two of them came during the preseason finale, in which the Seahawks defeated the Cleveland Browns 37-33 at Lumen Field.

Now, his roller coaster time on and off the practice squad and being in the Seattle organization continues. Given how inconsistent the Seahawks pass rush has been, perhaps he can find his way into becoming a more consistent presense on the 53-man active roster.
