Field Gulls
The Seattle Seahawks have continued their roster shuffling, this time on the practice squad.
On Tuesday, the Seahawks have released cornerback Mike Reid and tight end Marshall Lang. The replacements are running back/kick returner Velus Jones Jr and wide receiver Brenden Rice, son of Seahawks legend Jerry Rice.
In total, the Seahawks worked out eight players: quarterback Hendon Hooker, wide receiver/running back Velus Jones, center Doug Kramer, and five additional wide receivers (Montorie Foster, Jaylen Johnson, Dymere Miller, Jalen Reagor, and Brenden Rice).
The workout of former Detroit Lions third-round pick Hooker is interesting as Seattle already has three quarterbacks on the active roster. Meanwhile, the recent placement of Jalen Sundell on injured reserve has left the Seahawks thin at the center position. This would make sense as to bringing in Kramer for a workout.
The plethora of wide receivers coming in for a tryout is also notable as the Seahawks are thin at that position too, with the recent injuries to Dareke Young, Jake Bobo, and Tory Horton. Both Velus Jones and Montorie Foster were with Seattle before (Jones back in October, and Foster during the offseason).
If you don’t remember, Jerry Rice ended his iconic career with the Seattle Seahawks in 2004 after being traded by the Oakland Raiders. Brenden was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024 and appeared in three games, but otherwise doesn’t have an NFL catch yet.
