Seahawks add Gary Smith III to practice squad, release Uso Seumalo

The Seattle Seahawks signed rookie defensive tackle Gary Smith III to their practice squad on September 29, 2026. Smith, who played at UCLA and was previously with the Las Vegas Raiders, was undrafted in the spring and failed to make the Raiders' final roster. To accommodate this addition, the Seahawks released fellow rookie nose tackle Uso Seumalo, known for his appearance on 'Hard Knocks'. The move is part of Seattle's ongoing efforts to bolster their defensive line.
