Cam Akers and Amari Kight get the nod for the second week in a row.
The Seattle Seahawks announced their practice squad elevations on Saturday ahead of their week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Running back Cam Akers and rookie offensive tackle Amari Kight will be a part of Sunday’s game day roster.
If this sounds familiar, that is because both players were elevated to the active roster last week against the Los Angeles Rams as well. Akers is in line to play in his second game with Seattle after playing four snaps on special teams against his former team, the Rams. Akers’ elevation also gives the Seahawks a third running back behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.
With Charles Cross out this week due to injury, Josh Jones will start at left tackle. However, that leaves Seattle needing more offensive tackle depth as well. That is where Kight, the undrafted rookie out of Central Florida, comes in. This is Kight’s third elevation this season, which means the Seahawks would need to sign Kight to the active 53-man roster for him to play again.
