Seahawks sign Tyreke Smith to practice squad after waiving him from active roster

A minor surprise occurred earlier in the week when the Seattle Seahawks let go of 2022 fifth-round draft pick Tyreke Smith. The former Ohio State pass rusher missed his entire rookie year due to injury, but showed some good play in preseason and received a handful of snaps against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

It turns out that Smith isn’t done with Seattle just yet. Smith cleared waivers, making him a free agent, and the Seahawks have added him to the practice squad. Offensive lineman Greg Eiland was let go to make room for Smith on the 16-man roster.
