Seahawks Sign Jason Peters, Waive Jake Curhan

After his agency reported a potential signing on Friday afternoon, the Seattle Seahawks officially added tackle Jason Peters onto the 53-man roster on Saturday, paving the way for him to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11.

In a corresponding move to create a spot for Peters, Seattle waived third-year tackle/guard Jake Curhan in an offensive line swap. Additionally, the team promoted undrafted rookie safety Ty Okada from the practice squad to make his NFL regular season debut as a special teams reinforcement.

Joining the Seahawks as a free agent signing after starters Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas suffered injuries in a season-opening loss to the Rams, Peters finally made his team debut against the Browns in Week 8, rotating in behind starter Stone Forsythe at right tackle. Elevated from the practice squad three consecutive weeks, he turned in his finest outing last weekend in a win over the Commanders, allowing only one pressure on 34 pass protection reps and dominating in the run game.

Now fully back in game shape, while Forsythe may still start against the Rams in Sunday's rematch, Peters logged the majority of the reps in Week 10. Coming off easily his best performance so far, now that he's on the active roster, it's possible the Seahawks could turn to him as the starter until Lucas finally returns to game action in the next couple of weeks.

Lucas, who has been on injured reserve since Week 1, practiced in limited fashion on Wednesday and Thursday this week. But on Friday, coach Pete Carroll indicated Seattle needed a bit more time to evaluate him on the field and he wouldn't be ready to come back in Los Angeles this weekend.
