The Seahawks have signed a former Ohio State quarterback to their practice squad, according to a report from the NFL Network.
But it’s not the Ohio State quarterback they had on their roster during much of the preseason — J.T. Barrett.
Instead, Seattle has signed Cardale Jones, who preceded Barrett as Ohio State’s starter, according to Tom Pelissero. It was not immediately clear the roster move the Seahawks made on their practice squad to create room for Jones.
Jones spent the preseason with the Chargers and played against the Seahawks in the third preseason game, completing 4-5 passes for 50 yards on two series, neither of which resulted in a score (though the first went for 60 yards before the Seahawks got a fourth-down stop at the 15).
