Seahawks practice squad tracker: Seattle snags Rams fifth-round pick

Now that the waiver wire period ended at 9:01 a.m. PT, the Seattle Seahawks are beginning to put together their initial practice squad. Some early surprises that came via the initial 53-man roster may start to make more sense as the practice squad takes shape.

The Seahawks waived two 2025 draft picks in seventh-round picks Damien Martinez and Ricky White III. They managed to squeeze the rest of their selections — including late-round offensive linemen Mason Richman and Bryce Cabeldue — onto their initial roster. Both Martinez and White have already been re-signed to Seattle's practice squad.

Fifth-round defensive end Rylie Mills, who is still rehabbing from a season-ending injury in his final college season, will begin the season on the non-football injury list.

Former draft picks who were waived, like safety Jerrick Reed II (2023 sixth-rounder) and guard Sataoa Laumea (2024 sixth-rounder), have had mixed fates thus far. Only Reed has been brought back to this point.

Seattle, like all NFL teams, has 16 slots to allocate on its practice squad. A 17th is available through the International Pathway Program. The Seahawks can only sign up to six players who have two or more years of accrued NFL experience.

Here's a look at all of the Seahawks' reported re-signings.

Wide receiver Ricky White III (2025 seventh-round pick)

The Seahawks are re-signing WR Ricky White III to their practice squad, a source tells me. As with Jerrick Reed II, who’s also returning to Seattle’s PS, the seventh-round pick looked like a strong candidate to stick around given the camp he had and his special teams upside.

Linebacker Jamie Sheriff

I'm told the Seahawks are re-signing LB Jamie Sheriff to their practice squad. Sounds like there's a chance he could be elevated for the opener.
