Seattle Seahawks sign seventeen players to initial practice squad
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks established a 17-player practice squad on Monday, one day after reducing their active roster to 53 players. The group includes veteran cornerback Trevon Diggs, AJ Finley, Velus Jones Jr., and Rodney Thomas II. Additionally, the team signed four players from their 2026 draft class who were previously waived during the final roster cutdown. Linebacker Jared Ivey was not included in the practice squad after failing to clear waivers. Team leadership, including John Schneider and Mike Macdonald, continue to assess the roster for further adjustments as the regular season approaches. This development follows a busy period of roster management across the NFC West, where other organizations are also solidifying their depth charts.
