The Seattle Seahawks got themselves to the 53-man regular season limit on Tuesday, and with the waiver claim deadline passing as of 9 AM PT on Wednesday the team can begin to assemble its 16-man practice squad for the 2023 NFL season.
Players who are not subject to waivers like Ben Burr-Kirven and Joey Hunt can go to another active roster as free agents, or they can sign to a practice squad. Everyone else who goes through the waiver wire must wait until they clear waivers to be eligible to sign onto a practice squad.
For what it’s worth, Seattle is 20th in the waiver wire should they want to claim anyone, but at 53 players they’d have to make room by letting someone go or placing someone on injured reserve.
We have a full explainer on the rules and regulations of the practice squad, which you can click here.
Throughout the day we will be monitoring rumors, reports, and confirmations of Seahawks practice squad additions, and we’ll keep tabs on any waived/released Seahawks who have signed elsewhere.
