The Seattle Seahawks beefed up their offensive line Monday, signing tackle Logan Brown to their practice squad.
The 6-foot-6, 311-pound Brown has bounced around since going undrafted out of Kansas this April, spending time with both the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns before being released earlier this month.
Brown provides the Seahawks depth with veteran Josh Jones sidelined by an ankle injury.
The Seahawks host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday (4:05 p.m. ET), seeking their fourth straight win.
Brown Was Highly Touted High School Prospect
Brown, a former five-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class, played three seasons at Wisconsin but was dismissed from the team in 2022 following an altercation in practice, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He then transferred to Kansas.
In his second season with the Jayhawks, Brown started 11 games and did not allow a single sack or quarterback hit, earning Second Team All-Big 12 honors.
Despite that, Brown surprisingly went undrafted and was scooped up by the Vikings. NFL.com listed him as the best offensive tackle not picked.
A scouting report by NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein called Brown a swing tackle with a “chance” to develop into a starter in the NFL.
Seahawks Hope to Get Back Jones
Brown spent most of the summer with the Vikings before being waived on Aug. 24 as part of final roster cuts. He quickly latched onto the Browns’ practice squad but was released after Week 1.
Now he finds himself on the Seahawks’ practice squad, where he’s joined by fellow undrafted rookie Amari Kight. The 6-7, 318-pound Kight, who played at UCF, was elevated for Jones against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. The Seahawks won 23-20 to improve to 3-1.
Jones signed a one-year, $4 million deal with Seattle in free agency. He began the season as the team’s top backup tackle and saw action late in Week 3 for Charles Cross. After not practicing at all last week, his status bears watching.
Should Jones miss more time, Brown is a candidate to step in and provide depth against the Buccaneers’ fourth-ranked defense, which has totaled 10 sacks and held opponents to 272.8 yards per game.
Sam Darnold was sacked a season-high three times against Arizona but still managed to throw for 242 yards and a touchdown on 18-of-26 passing in the last-second victory.
