Overview
- The Seahawks signed quarterback Adrian Martinez to their practice squad, a move first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
- Seattle made the addition because Sam Darnold was ruled out for the coming game, leaving Drew Lock as the starter and Jalen Milroe as the backup.
- Martinez previously worked out for the Baltimore Ravens and has spent time with the Detroit Lions, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers.
- His NFL game experience is limited: across multiple seasons he has completed 100 of 184 passes for 1,044 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions and his only regular-season snap was a kneel-down.
- The signing is a short-term depth move that keeps an extra QB in the building and preserves the Seahawks’ options if injuries or further availability issues arise before their Week 12 matchup with the 49ers.
