Field Gulls
Tuesday the Seattle Seahawks trimmed the roster down from the 90 they are allowed to carry during the offseason to the 53 allowed during the regular season. In doing so the team went light at some positions, notably on the defensive line where the team kept only five players on the roster.
That had several fans concerned, particularly the fact that the Seahawks did not keep a true nose tackle, which left the defensive line room light, literally and figuratively.
Now, however, according to a report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Seattle is set to address the nose tackle position by bringing back veteran Quinton Bohanna to the practice squad.
Bohanna, as a vested veteran, was not subject to waivers, and therefore the team did not need to worry about whether he would actually clear waivers in order to be signed to the practice squad. And, as allowed by the 2020 collective bargaining agreement, as a member of the practice squad Bohanna will be eligible to be elevated to the active roster in order to participate in regular season games.
