ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that former Detroit Lions starting nose tackle, Damon Harrison, is signing onto the Seattle Seahawks practice squad.
It’s been an up and down few years for Harrison. After dominating 2018 for the Lions, he earned a contract extension ahead of the 2019 season. That season was a disappointment, both for the Lions and Harrison, as he fought through obstacles and contemplated retirement.
The Lions and Harrison parted ways soon after, with both parties pointing towards the separation being a “mutual agreement” and Harrison citing uncomfortableness in his role in the Lions scheme — as he was asked to expand his role beyond the nose to the 3-technique.
Harrison remained a free agent through late September when he began fielding offers from teams including the Seahawks. Now, he will be joining the Seahawks practice squad as he works to acclimate to the scheme, but with a plethora of injuries, he may be promoted to the active roster sooner than later.
