Seahawks Activate Rookie Deven Eastern From Training-Camp PUP

Overview

• Deven Eastern passed a physical and was removed from the Seahawks' training-camp PUP list, and he was in uniform for the team's first padded practice.
• Eastern missed much of OTAs and mandatory minicamp with an undisclosed injury after being taken at No. 242 overall in the 2026 draft, so practice reps are now critical to his roster chances.
• The Seahawks view Eastern as a candidate for a nose-tackle role and his return adds depth behind Brandon Pili with Jarran Reed and Byron Murphy II also available for interior snaps.
• Nick Emmanwori remains on the training-camp PUP list while recovering from ankle surgery and Zach Charbonnet is still on PUP as he rehabs an ACL tear; Kenny McIntosh and Tyrone Broden were initially on PUP but are no longer on the roster.
• Players on active PUP keep a spot on the offseason roster but cannot practice until cleared, so Eastern’s medical clearance lets coaches evaluate him on the field and could directly affect Seattle’s roster decisions before final cuts.
