The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back a familiar face to their running back room, re-signing veteran Myles Gaskin to the practice squad. It’s a move that adds experience and depth to a position group that’s often one injury away from being tested.
Gaskin, 28, has had one of those NFL journeys that’s all about perseverance. Originally a seventh-round pick by the Dolphins in 2019, he’s carved out a career by staying ready and making himself available-traits that coaches love, especially when it comes to filling out a roster late in the season.
Seattle still has one open spot on both the active roster and the practice squad, so there could be more shuffling to come. But for now, Gaskin slides back into a system he’s already somewhat familiar with, having bounced on and off the Seahawks’ practice squad earlier this season.
The current practice squad includes a mix of young developmental players, injury stashes, and veterans like Gaskin who bring a steady hand. Here’s a look at the full group:
- WR Tyrone Broden (Injured)
- C Federico Maranges (International)
- LB Jamie Sheriff
- **DT J.R.
Singleton**
- WR Ricky White III
- RB Jacardia Wright (Injured)
- WR Courtney Jackson
- LB Chris Paul
- DB Shemar Jean-Charles
- OT Amari Kight
- OL Shane Lemieux (Injured)
- S Maxen Hook
- DT Bubba Thomas
- DB Tyler Hall
- WR Velus Jones
- DB Quandre Diggs
- WR Jimmy Holiday
- WR Ja’Markis Weston
- RB Myles Gaskin
Gaskin’s career has been a winding road. After four seasons in Miami, where he played out his rookie deal, he re-signed on a one-year contract in 2023. But he didn’t make the final cut that year, setting off a string of short stints with the Vikings, Rams, and even a brief appearance with the Ravens this past August.
In 2024, Gaskin suited up for five games with the Vikings, though his touches were limited-just one carry for a three-yard loss and a single reception that went for 11 yards. Still, his ability to step in and contribute when called upon makes him a valuable insurance policy for teams dealing with late-season attrition.
For the Seahawks, this is a low-risk, high-familiarity signing. Gaskin knows the rhythm of NFL locker rooms, he’s been in multiple systems, and he’s shown he can be a plug-and-play option in a pinch. With Seattle still evaluating its depth and dealing with injuries in key areas, having a veteran like Gaskin in the building could prove useful down the stretch.
And with one spot still open on both the practice squad and the 53-man roster, don’t be surprised if Seattle isn’t quite done making moves. The playoff push is heating up, and every roster spot counts.
