The Seattle Seahawks elevated one member of their practice squad Saturday ahead of the Sunday-night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings – but it’s likely not who you were thinking.
Seattle elevated safety Damarious Randall, not defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison, who was just signed to the practice squad this week.
“He’s a player that’s got big character in the locker room – his attitude and personality that you add to the team is really special,” coach Pete Carroll said of Harrison on Wednesday. “Whenever we can do that, we’re trying to get better, so hopefully he’ll be able to add in. Right now we just want to get to work and get him going with us.”
While Seattle does plan to ease Harrison into a role, the fact that he hasn’t stepped onto a football field since last season could be a big part of the equation. Carroll had said he wanted to see how Harrison practiced before just throwing him out there on game day.
Randall’s elevation does make sense, however, in light of the injuries to safeties Jamal Adams and Lano Hill.
