Seahawks Sign Brenden Rice and Velus Jones to Practice Squad

The Seattle Seahawks have signed wide receiver Brenden Rice and running back Velus Jones Jr. to their practice squad. Rice, a seventh-round pick by the Chargers in 2024, appeared in three games as a rookie and spent a week on the Patriots' practice squad before being released on November 11th. Jones is in his fourth season and played in five games for the Saints this year. These moves correspond with the release of tight end Marshall Lang and cornerback Mike Reid. Rice and Jones were among eight players who worked out for the Seahawks on Tuesday, with former Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker also participating in drills.
