Beau Stephens, a rookie blocker for the Seattle Seahawks, assumes a larger role following Mason Richman's season-ending injury sustained in the Week 2 preseason loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Seahawks' depth has taken a hit with the loss of Richman, a sophomore guard. Initially expected to provide depth, Stephens is now listed as the backup to Grey Zabel at left guard.
