Seahawks elevate 2 defenders from practice squad for Falcons game

The Seahawks announced today that they have elevated two players from their practice squad for tomorrow’s game against the Falcons.

The Seahawks announced today that they have elevated two players from their practice squad for tomorrow’s game against the Falcons.

One of them is cornerback Xavier Crawford, who was elevated last week as well. He wound up playing three snaps on special teams against the 49ers. Moving Crawford up is likely a sign that the team doesn’t expect veteran cornerback Justin Coleman to be available. He was listed as doubtful on their final injury report of the week.

The other is linebacker Christian Jones. He has a ton of experience in the NFL, having appeared in 125 career games. He’s spent five years with the Bears and three with the Lions. Jones’ elevation may not be an indicator of anything other than Seattle’s overall lack of depth at linebacker. This week they brought in several free agents at the position for tryouts but they didn’t wind up signing any of them.

According to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, the Seattle Seahawks are waiving linebacker Tanner Muse. Pelissero believes the team wants him back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

A former third-round draft pick, Seattle picked Muse up off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders just before the 2021 season began. Muse spent most of the year on the practice squad but was elevated for a few games. In the end he played 100 snaps, exclusively on special teams.

Muse makes it eight cuts that we know about. The Seahawks have to make 19 more before 1:00 p.m. PT.

Seahawks shuffle practice squad with two moves for special teams depth

Seahawks shuffle practice squad with two moves for special teams depth

The Seattle Seahawks have made a couple of practice squad moves over the last two days as they begin preparing for their Week 15 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Yesterday, the team announced they’d signed wide receiver Matt Cole to the practice squad. Cole (5-foot-10, 200 pounds) is from Chicago and played college ball at Division II school McKendree University. He went undrafted in 2020 and first signed with the Dolphins, then the 49ers. He appeared in one game last season with the Niners and another with Carolina this year, putting in 34 special teams snaps total. Cole gives more depth on speical teams following Gavin Heslop’s season-ending leg injury and surgery.

Seattle is also calling up a defender to the active roster. According to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, linebacker Tanner Muse is being signed off the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

Muse was one of many recent draft blunders by the Raiders. After they picked him in the third round of the 2020 draft he was released before the season began. He had been elevated from the practice squad twice already this year, so he needed to be signed in order to play. He’s been on the field for 29 snaps, exclusively on special teams.

Seahawks place Jamal Adams on IR, sign DB off their practice squad

Moments later, the team announced that Adams has been placed on the injured reserve list.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll just told reporters that strong safety Jamal Adams has undergone season-ending surgery on his shoulder.

Moments later, the team announced that Adams has been placed on the injured reserve list. Taking his place on the 53-man roster will be defensive back Gavin Heslop, who has been signed off the practice squad.

And so Adams finishes his 2021 season with 87 total tackles (four for a loss), five pass breakups and two interceptions. However, he also had just two quarterback hits and no sacks after posting 9.5 in his first year with Seattle.

Heslop was out of practice-squad elevations, so he had to be signed to the roster to be active. So far this season he has played a total of 15 special teams snaps. Expect him to be at the bottom end of the DB rotation on defense. Meanwhile, Ryan Neal is slated to start at Adams’ strong safety spot.
