Seahawks practice squad projection
17 players who could end up on Seattle's practice squad and who could become the next Josh Jobe?
If creating this list is any indication of what awaits the Seahawks, Mike Macdonald is in for the toughest roster cuts of his career. Maybe the toughest decisions in the history of the franchise.
Seahawks fans should be prepared for machine gun-paced arguments of “No, not him!” and “WON’T be him!” and “Not in a million years!”, as well as the massively popular “He’ll NEVER get through waivers!!!” through 2026 training camp because even the practice squad will have names you are certain will make the roster—as well as players who don’t make the roster or practice squad that you’ll be certain will get picked up by other teams.
The normal thing to do would be to give you my 53-man roster projection first, but rarely is anything normal at Seaside Joe.
It’s not weird for the sake of weird. Not only do fans actually love practice squad players—right up there for “most popular NFL articles of the year” alongside undrafted free agent signings, is who made the initial practice squad?—but we know that Seattle’s treatment of the practice squad as being a legitimate part of the entire roster is not just coachspeak.
The Seahawks practice squad has produced players like Josh Jobe, Ty Okada, George Holani, and Patrick O’Connell in recent years, among others. From there, we might see players like Amari Kight or Jamie Sheriff see there star rise next season because they hung around on the practice squad.
So these are 17 names that I am projecting to make the Seattle Seahawks’ initial 2026 practice squad, why they’re on it, who’s not, and what could be next?
