The Seahawks just made some moves on the practice squad, bringing back fan-favorite “Hard Knocks” star Montorie Foster Jr. and adding Malick Meiga to boost wide receiver depth. This reshuffling comes after injuries hit the wide receiver room, including our own Rashid Shaheed, and it is a clear sign the team is ready to shore up its options as we head deeper into the season.
The Return of a Fan Favorite
Foster, who absolutely balled out in the preseason and became a fan-favorite, made the initial 53-man roster back when the season kicked off. But he was a healthy scratch for the first six games, which was tough to see. Then, he was waived to make room for Anthony Bradford’s return ahead of last week’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, the undrafted wide receiver is back in the Emerald City, joining the practice squad where he’ll hopefully get back into rhythm and be ready if his number gets called. To make room for Foster and Meiga, the Hawks released fullback Jackson Acker and linebacker Josh Ross.
Meiga, an undrafted rookie out of Coastal Carolina, also knows a thing or two about the Seahawks already. He spent time with Seattle just last month after going through training camp with the Carolina Panthers. The Montreal native was released on October 19 and is now back with the team just over a week later. These moves show that our coaching staff, led by Mike Macdonald, is constantly looking for talent and depth, especially with the wide receiver injuries piling up.
JSN Went Off, And Now The Bears Are On Notice
This practice squad reshuffle comes at a perfect time, as the Seahawks are riding high after a monster win against the Kansas City Chiefs, crushing them 20-3. And who was a massive reason for that? Jaxon Smith-Njigba! Our star wideout had an absolute MONSTER game against the Chiefs, showing the entire league what he’s truly capable of. You know the Chicago Bears, our next opponents, are going to be keyed into slowing down JSN after that performance. Good luck with that!
Get ready for Monday night, 12s, because our Seahawks are heading into a huge prime-time battle against the Chicago Bears. With JSN fresh off a dominant performance and new depth building on the practice squad, the team is set to carry that momentum forward. We are ready to see what our boys can do under the lights. Let’s get loud for the Emerald City!
