Seattle shuffled its practice squad on Tuesday, released three players, and reversed the moves on Wednesday, re-signing Damien Martinez, Shemar Jean-Charles, and Amari Kight while bringing back the trio of released players for a pay-through-week gesture. The plan, per Brady Henderson, was to ensure those offseason depth pieces received a minimum payout, illustrating a practical approach to roster management beyond immediate game-day needs. Martinez’s return keeps Seattle with two backs on the practice squad, alongside Jacardia Wright.

Overall, the Seahawks balance merit with goodwill: preserving Martinez’s upside, protecting depth at corner and along the line, and offering a humane bridge for Laumea, Gaines, and Campbell as they seek future NFL homes. It’s not about Week 1 magic but about smart roster flexibility and fair compensation for players who spent the offseason in Seattle.
