The Seahawks signed Powell to a reserve/future contract Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Powell ended the season on the Seahawks' practice squad after being cut by the Chiefs on Oct. 22. He last saw NFL regular-season action in 2022 with Kansas City, during which he played 31 snaps (three on offense, 28 on special teams) across three games but didn't show up on the box score otherwise.
The Seahawks signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Powell, a 2021 fifth-round pick, hasn't been elevated for a single game this season (he was previously with the Chiefs' practice squad), but he would be a candidate to do so if the Seahawks need to add depth to the wide receiver corps.
Powell was released from the Chiefs' practice squad on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Powell failed to make Kansas City's final 53-man roster during training camp, but he ultimately returned to the practice unit on Oct. 22. His exit after nearly one month with the team was a corresponding move in order to add fellow pass catcher Tyquan Thornton. The 2021 fifth-round pick will now be on the lookout for a new opportunity.
The Chiefs signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday. The 2021 fifth-round pick spent all of last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, but he was waived in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Powell will be available for an elevation to the active roster should Kansas City need him in a special teams role on game day.
The Chiefs waived Powell on Tuesday. Since being drafted by Kansas City in the fifth round back in 2021, Powell has appeared in just three regular-season games and played just three total offensive snaps. He could find his way back onto the practice squad at some point.
