Seahawks Sign Michael Dowell, Tyler Hall

The Seattle Seahawks are actively enhancing their cornerback depth, with head coach Mike Macdonald prioritizing the position. Tre Brown's impending free agency opens a spot, likely to be filled by Ravens corner Brandon Stephens, who has a strong tackling record and familiarity with Macdonald's system. Meanwhile, the team has signed linebacker Michael Dowell and cornerback Tyler Hall back to their practice squad as they prepare for their Week 18 finale against the Los Angeles Rams. Dowell, an undrafted rookie previously with the Bengals, is viewed as a linebacker despite having a safety background, while Hall brings experience from multiple NFL teams, including a Super Bowl win with the Rams. These moves reflect Seattle's strategy to bolster their roster ahead of the playoffs, addressing both depth and potential injury concerns.
