Seahawks Sign Jaren Hall, Place Gipson on IR

The Seattle Seahawks have made significant roster adjustments ahead of their crucial Week 16 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, signing quarterback Jaren Hall from the practice squad. Hall's addition comes after starting quarterback Geno Smith, who is recovering from a knee injury, was a full participant in practice this week. The Seahawks also elevated cornerback Artie Burns and placed linebacker Trevis Gipson on injured reserve. Seattle remains in playoff contention under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, needing a win against the Vikings to keep pace in the NFC West. Additionally, there are discussions about potential future roster moves, including the possibility of signing safety Ar'Darius Washington from the Ravens in free agency. The Seahawks are projected to focus on strengthening their defensive lineup in the upcoming draft, with cornerback Benjamin Morrison as a potential target.
