Seahawks elevate a pair of linebackers from the practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks made a couple of practice squad elevations ahead of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, both at the linebacker position.

For the second week in a row, Cullen Gillaspia gets the call-up to presumably play on special teams, which is what he did exclusively in last Sunday’s win over the Detroit Lions.

The other elevation is veteran Christian Jones, who spent five of his previous eight NFL seasons with the Chicago Bears. He figures to be a temporary replacement of sorts for Darryl Johnson, who’s out at least four weeks with a foot injury.
