Seahawks add wide receiver Ricky White to practice squad roster

Summary

The Seattle Seahawks signed wide receiver Ricky White to the practice squad after finalizing the team’s 53-man roster on August 30. Head coach Mike Macdonald held a private conversation with the receiver, emphasizing the need for him to demonstrate greater contribution on special teams to earn a spot. This marks a continuation of the path White took during his 2025 rookie season, when he also joined the practice squad and earned a Super Bowl ring. Although general manager John Schneider previously noted his potential and compared his toughness to former Packers receiver Donald Driver, White currently faces competition for snaps from teammates Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed. White previously produced back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons at UNLV, including 1,483 yards in 2023, before entering the NFL.
