Seattle Seahawks sign D'Anthony Bell to practice squad before opener

The Seattle Seahawks added veteran safety D’Anthony Bell to the team's practice squad on Saturday. This roster move occurs ahead of the team's Week 1 Super Bowl rematch against the New England Patriots. To accommodate the addition of Bell, the Seahawks released rookie outside linebacker Marvin Jones Jr. The decision to bring back Bell provides the team with defensive depth as they manage the recovery of Nick Emmanwori, who is currently undergoing treatment for an ankle injury. Bell’s experience allows him to fill a similar role to Emmanwori if the latter is not available for the upcoming contest. Depending on the status of the secondary, Bell remains a candidate for elevation to the active roster for the game on Wednesday night.
