Former Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger cleared waivers on Wednesday, and he has now agreed to join the practice squad of the Seattle Seahawks, per his agent Mike McCartney.
Sternberger was released by the Packers on Tuesday following the expiration of his two-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
Instead of returning to Green Bay’s practice squad, Sternberger picked a new path.
While the Packers are four-deep at tight end and don’t offer an obvious path to playing time, the Seahawks have only three tight ends on the active roster, and one, Tyler Mabry, has only played six snaps in 2021.
