The Seattle Seahawks suffered a 42-29 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night, marking Mike Macdonald’s first defeat as head coach at the hands of Dan Campbell and the Lions.
During the game, Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith faced pressure on 41.9% of his dropbacks, being pressured on 26 out of 62 pass attempts.
Following the loss, reports suggest that the Seahawks are poised to make a move on Tuesday, as revealed by NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Reports indicate that nine-time Pro Bowl OT Jason Peters is expected to sign with the #Seahawks practice squad, according to a source.

Jason Peters had previous experience with the Seahawks in 2023, appearing in eight games with two starts. This reported signing sheds light on the team’s right tackle depth amid current health concerns at the position, indicating a potential lack of confidence in other options such as McClendon Curtis and Michael Jerrell.
Update: To accommodate Peters on the practice squad, the Seahawks have released Matt Gotel.
