Seahawks Sign Adrian Peterson To Practice Squad
3 years agoSeattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that the team has signed running back Adrian Peterson to their practice squad on Wednesday. Peterson filled in for the Tennessee Titans in three games when Derrick Henry (foot) went down with an injury, but he averaged just 3.0 yards per carry and was released. The 36-year-old could now be an option for Seattle to close out the year with Chris Carson (neck) done for the rest of the season, but the Seahawks also have Alex Collins, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and Rashaad Penny at the position. Collins has been the team's primary option in the backfield ever since Carson went on Injured Reserve, but he hasn't been very good at all (3.9 yards per carry). Peterson isn't guaranteed to see a prominent role to close out the season, making him merely an RB bench stash in deeper leagues.
