Seahawks 2023 practice squad tracker: DE Hamilcar Rashed signs

 Our practice squad tracker is updated.

The Seattle Seahawks lost their second-year outside linebacker Tyreke Smith this week when he was signed by the Arizona Cardinals off their practice squad. The team has just announced that they’ve signed former Oregon State defensive end Hamilcar Rashed to take Smith’s place.

Our practice squad tracker is updated (Dec. 15).

Seahawks 53-man roster tracker: QB, LB elevated from practice squad

Our 53-man roster tracker is updated.

The Seattle Seahawks announced a couple of practice squad elevations on Saturday ahead of today’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Recently re-signed third-string quarterback Sean Mannion has been elevated as a contingency in case starter Geno Smith is unable to play. Smith is listed as questionable with elbow and groin injuries. The Seahawks also elevated linebacker Patrick O’Connell, who gives them some extra depth in case Jordyn Brooks is inactive – he is also listed as questionable.

Here’s the team’s updated 53-man roster by jersey number (Dec. 10).

Seahawks 53-man roster tracker: Leonard Williams in, Cody Thompson out

Here’s the updated 53-man roster by jersey number going into tomorrow’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Seahawks are serious about making a deep postseason run this year. Just hours after their home win over the Browns, Seattle pulled off a trade that should help them get there. The front office has sent a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Giants in exchange for Leonard Williams, one of the top interior pass rushers in the league.

To make room for Wiliams, the Seahawks have waived wide receiver Cody Thompson. Our roster tracker is now updated (Oct. 31).

Seahawks announce they’ve re-signed WR Cody Thompson

Seattle Seahawks announce they have re-signed wide receiver Cody Thompson.

The Seattle Seahawks announced a roster move on Tuesday afternoon, the re-signing of wide receiver Cody Thompson.

Thompson originally entered the league in 2019 as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs out of Toledo. He spent roughly a week on Seattle’s practice squad later that season before he was cut and signed onto the Bengals practice squad. That January, Thompson was added back to the Seahawks practice squad.

In 2021, Thompson appeared in five games for Seattle on special teams but spent all of last year on the injured reserve after sustaining a shoulder injury during the preseason opener.

Thompson will add depth to the wide receiver room heading into the summer.

Watch: Seahawks QBs, WRs practicing go routes at training camp

By the looks of things, they’re still a bit raw in some areas.

The Seahawks will take the field for their first preseason game of the year in 12 days. So far, the team has gone through three practices at training camp. By the looks of things, they’re still a bit raw in some areas.

Observe this clip from Gregg Bell at the News Tribune of Geno Smith and Drew Lock practicing throwing go routes with the wide receivers. The first two passes appear to be dropped by Freddie Swain and DK Metcalf, followed by an overthrow from Lock to Penny Hart. Cody Thompson closes with a catch.

It looks bad, but keep in mind this is only a tiny portion of the work the offense has put in and fans shouldn’t look too much into this or any other one video. That said, there’s a reason why they practice and the first couple games of any season tend to be a bit sloppy.

Seahawks elevate WR Cody Thompson, DT Robert Nkemdiche from practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated two players from their practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Minnnesota Vikings. 

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated two players from their practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Minnnesota Vikings.

Defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche is getting called up for the second time this season, which means he has to go on the roster permanently. His elevation is a bit interesting considering that Bryan Mone is expected to play tomorrow. Wide receiver Cody Thompson is also being elevated. Seattle is thin at this position with Dee Eskridge missing his second straight game with a concussion. Eskridge is expected to return next week though, so Thompson is on borrowed time.

If that’s not the case or depth issues at DT and WR continue, it’s probably worth mentioning that defensive tackle Geno Atkins and wide receiver Josh Gordon (who has been reinstated) are both on the market and the Seahawks have more than enough salary cap room to sign them.

Seahawks sign receiver Lance Lenoir, waive/injured RB Patrick Carr

The Seattle Seahawks added their second receiver in three days to add depth to their unit, which has struggled with injuries this offseason.

The Seattle Seahawks aren’t done making moves, even with final roster cuts looming at the end of this week. On Monday, the team announced that they have signed wide receiver Lance Lenoir and waived/injured running back Patrick Carr.

Lenoir spent each of the past three seasons with the Cowboys organization after going undrafted despite a record-setting career at Western Illinois University (3,796 yards, 31 touchdowns). He spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad before finally seeing the field at the end of the 2017 season, followed by a year in a special-teams role before a knee injury sent him to the injured reserve for all of 2019.

The move brings some depth to the Seahawks’ wide receiver unit, which has incurred injuries to Phillip Dorsett II, John Ursua, and Cody Thompson (although coach Pete Carroll has indicated that he expects the return of all three players very soon). On Saturday, the Seahawks also welcomed Paul Richardson back to the team, presumably to fill that need for depth.

Carr, who went undrafted this year out of the University of Houston, was previously waived by the Seahawks on July 26 before re-signing with the team on Aug. 14. He stopped practicing last week with an undisclosed injury and will land on the injured reserve if he clears waivers.

Receivers Dorsett, Thompson and Ursua could return to practice Tuesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Phillip Dorsett II, Cody Thompson and John Ursua could return to practice from injuries as soon as Tuesday.

The Seahawks have been down a few wide receivers over the last few days as the players battled some minor injuries. All three – Phillip Dorsett II, Cody Thompson and John Ursua – could all come back as soon as Tuesday following Seattle’s off day.

“Phillip, if everything goes right over this one-day break, he’s going to be back in a limited fashion,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the team’s mock game on Sunday.

Dorsett has been suffering from a sore foot but the injury does not appear to be a new issue, according to Carroll.

“Phil, we’re going to have to figure out how he handles it,” Carroll continued. “We know what his condition is and his situation with the sore foot, we’ve just got to manage him really well.”

Carroll said both Thompson and Ursua also have a chance to return on Tuesday but did not provide further specifics.

Seahawks sign 6 players to futures contracts for the 2020 season

The Seattle Seahawks announced the signing of six players who finished the season on the practice squad to reserve/future contracts.

The Seattle Seahawks dropped their divisional-round matchup to the Green Bay Packers to wrap up their 2019 campaign. With the season now in the books, the team is already looking ahead to next year, beginning to build the 90-man roster.

On Tuesday afternoon, Seattle announced the signing of six players to reserve/future contracts: cornerback Brian Allen, wide receivers Penny Hart and Cody Thompson, linebackers Sutton Smith and Pita Taumoepenu, and defensive end Shakir Soto.

All six players finished the season on the Seahawks’ practice squad.
