D'Anthony Bell returns to Seattle on the Seahawks' practice squad after a brief 53-man stint, re-stocking a depth chart that also saw Sataoa Laumea released. The move pairs Bell's proven special-teams value with Chaz Surratt's LB depth, signaling Seattle's emphasis on versatile, low‑risk depth pieces as Week 1 approaches.

Bell’s return preserves a veteran ST asset who excelled on coverage units and could be elevated for gamedays to bolster kick- and punt-coverage as Seattle seeks consistency from its special teams, while Laumea’s exit clears a roster spot. The acquisition of Surratt adds linebacker depth behind the starters, framing Seattle’s 2025 plan around specialization, cost-control, and pliable depth across units.
