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 rule out WR Dee Eskridge, elevate DT Robert Nkemdiche from practice squad

The Seahawks have ruled out rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge for tomorrow’s home opener against the Titans.

The Seahawks have ruled out rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge for tomorrow’s home opener against the Titans. Eskridge suffered a concussion in the season opener against the Colts and did not practice this week. He had been listed as doubtful to play.

Taking his place on the 53-man roster will be defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, who has been elevated from the practice squad.

Nkemdiche is a former first-round pick by the Cardinals in 2016 who’s had trouble finding his footing in the NFL. He has only started six of the 29 regular season games he’s played in. Nkemdiche suffered a torn ACL in 2019 and was not on a roster last year.

This news could be related to the Seahawks’ injury report, which indicates the interior of their defensive line could be a bit thin on Sunday. Nose tackle Bryan Mone was limited at practice all this week with an elbow injury and is listed as questionable. Poona Ford (shoulder) was also limited at one point, so he may not be 100%.

Seahawks promote one player from practice squad, release another

The Seattle Seahawks have made a couple of moves ahead of tomorrow’s season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Seattle Seahawks have made a couple of moves ahead of tomorrow’s season opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

First, linebacker Jon Rhattigan (six-foot, 236 pounds) has been activated from the practice squad and promoted to the 53-man roster. Rhattigan is a graduate of West Point and an undrafted rookie. His presence gives Seattle a little more depth at the linebacker position, as there were only three on the active roster – four if you count converted fullback Nick Bellore.

The Seahawks also released tight end DeShon Williams from the practice squad. He played his college football at Washington.

Seahawks bringing back 2 promising guards for practice squad

According to Brady Henderson at ESPN, guard Phil Haynes is back on the practice squad after clearing waivers last week.

The Seattle Seahawks come into 2021 with a surprising amount of depth at guard. In Damien Lewis and Gabe Jackson, they have two high-level starters. They’ve also got some quality options further down the depth chart, all the way down to the practice squad.

According to Brady Henderson at ESPN, guard Phil Haynes is back on the practice squad after clearing waivers last week.

Haynes has only played 11 snaps to date but he was a standout during the preseason on the right side at both guard and tackle.

The team is also planning to re-sign the promising Jordan Simmons, per Henderson.

Update: Simmons has been re-signed to the practice squad. To make room, the team promoted tight end Tyler Mabry to the 53-man roster.
