The Seahawks added another veteran body to the mix on the practice squad Monday, signing offensive tackle Bobby Hart and moving on from defensive tackle Uso Seumalo in a corresponding transaction.
Hart now joins a Seattle practice squad that also includes T Logan Brown, CB Michael Dansby, CB Trevon Diggs, NT Deven Eastern, S AJ Finley, CB Andre Fuller, WR Emmanuel Henderson Jr., WR Julian Hicks, S Maxen Hook, DE Aidan Hubbard, LB Marvin Jones, RB Velus Jones Jr., C Federico Maranges (International), S Rodney Thomas II, WR Ricky White III and RB Jacardia Wright.
The 32-year-old Hart has bounced around the league since entering as a seventh-round pick of the Giants in 2015. New York waived him with an injury designation in late 2017 while he was in the third year of a four-year, $2,351,588 contract.
He landed with the Bengals in February for the 2018 season, then returned to Cincinnati on a three-year, $21 million deal in 2019 before the team released him in 2021. Hart later signed a one-year contract with the Bills for the 2021 season, but Buffalo cut him after the preseason. He spent a brief stretch on the Dolphins’ practice squad, was cut, and then returned to Buffalo’s practice squad.
Hart’s next stops included Tennessee, where the Titans signed him to their active roster, waived him, and then brought him back on the practice squad before the Bills signed him again to their active roster. Buffalo re-signed him to a one-year deal for 2022, and Detroit followed with a one-year deal for the 2023 season.
In October 2024, Hart joined Washington’s practice squad and was elevated once. He later returned on a futures deal before moving on to the Chargers and signing a one-year deal with Seattle this offseason. He was among Seattle’s final roster cuts.
Hart appeared in 10 games for the Chargers in 2025 and made eight starts.

Seahawks Mourn A Respected Coach Who Helped Shape A Super Bowl Unit
Charles Kippy Browns death at 71 brings back a name that still carries weight in Seattle circles, especially for anyone who remembers the Seahawks rise under Pete Carroll. Browns football life stretched from being the first Black quarterback at Memphis State to coaching stops across the NFL and college game, but his years with Seattle stood out as part of a run that helped shape a Super Bowl unit and left a strong impression on the people around it.
Pete Carroll was among those sharing condolences and memories, a reminder that Browns influence went well beyond the playbook. Former players also recalled the positive impact he had, the kind of steady presence that mattered in a building chasing championship standards, and his passing closes the book on a career that connected different eras of football while leaving a lasting mark in Seattle.

Seahawks May Face A Tougher Patriots Opener Than Expected
The Patriots backfield looked a little thinner for a moment this week when TreVeyon Henderson went down with a right ankle injury in practice, but the early read is encouraging for New England. He has avoided any major damage and is expected to be ready for Week 1, which matters for a Patriots offense that kept three running backs on the roster, including Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner.
For Seattle, that makes an already tricky opener feel a bit more layered. Henderson has not practiced since the injury, but the expectation is still that he works his way back in time for the matchup, giving New England another option out of the backfield as the Seahawks begin their season trying to sort out a Patriots group that may be healthier than it first appeared.

Seahawks Tackle Depth Concern Just Got Harder To Ignore
The Seahawks have been looking for any extra stability they can find at tackle, and that led them to veteran Bobby Hart on the practice squad as another layer of insurance for an offensive line that has already been under the microscope. Hart brings plenty of experience, having started 75 games across eight NFL teams, but his path to Seattle has been more about depth than immediate impact after a rough preseason kept him off the 53-man roster.
Seattle is still leaning on its current group, with Abe Lucas and Charles Cross anchoring the tackle spots, but the move underscores how uneasy the team is about its margin for error there. For a unit that needs to stay intact, especially with injury questions hovering over the position, adding Hart keeps the Seahawks covered for now while leaving open the possibility that the issue could get a lot more complicated if the depth chart is tested.
