Seahawks elevate Rodney Thomas II before Week 2 against Cardinals

The Seattle Seahawks have elevated safety Rodney Thomas II from the practice squad for their Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on September 20, 2026. Thomas previously performed well in a critical role, playing nearly every snap in Seattle’s narrow 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots. His promotion comes as the Seahawks manage injuries in their secondary, with Ty Okada sidelined and Anthony Bradford ruled out. Christian Haynes will replace Bradford at right guard. Thomas’ experience from his time with the Indianapolis Colts positions him to help stabilize the Seattle defense as they face a challenging Arizona offense.
