Seahawks lean on practice-squad depth to open season against Patriots
Seattle will rely on its practice squad for Week 1 secondary depth after Ty Okada was ruled out and offseason losses left the backend thin. Rodney Thomas and Velus Jones were elevated from the practice squad, A.J. Finley is on the active roster, and Bryce Cabeldue was waived to clear roster space as Bud Clark remains on IR and Julian Neal is unlikely to play early. The opener vs. the New England Patriots will test Seattle’s depth behind a reshuffled secondary.
