Adrian Peterson Signed To The Seattle Seahawks Practice Squad

In a rather surprising move, Adrian Peterson was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad today. It is an odd move for both the player and the organization.

Peterson was just released by the Tennessee Titans last week after joining the committee of running backs they had formed in Derrick Henry’s absence. His time there amounted to 82 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries over the course of 3 games. He also added 4 catches for 8 yards.

Now, he has been added to a Seahawks running back group that has struggled with injuries all year long. Chris Carson is out for the year with a neck injury. Rashaad Penny could be heading back to IR because of a hamstring injury. Alex Collins, DeeJay Dallas, and Travis Homer have all failed to impress throughout the season.

While the Seahawks needed another running back and Peterson needed a new team, they don’t seem to be a great fit for each other. Peterson was just let go by a contender and is at the point in his career where his main priority is likely trying to win his first Super Bowl. The Seahawks aren’t getting him there.

Seattle is currently sitting at 3-8 and would need a lot to break their way to end up in the playoffs. They also have an RB1 who has an injury with a lot of question marks around it. We don’t know much about Chris Carson’s injury, but a neck injury for a running back is always concerning. That leaves a lot of question marks for their future.

The Seahawks know the rest of the running backs aren’t the answer for the future, so why not take a chance on a younger running back or two? Bryce Love is still only 24 years old and we still haven’t gotten to see the Doak Walker award winner take an NFL snap. Kerryon Johnson is also a 24 year old, former NFL starter who is available right now.

Handing out player grades for the Boston Celtics at the season quarter mark with Bobby Krivitsky
The NBA's 2024-25 regular season is officially past the quarter-season mark with Boston having played more than 20 games. And with that sample size in the books, we can finally say we have some idea about what this version of the storied ball club is compared to their peers around the league. With that in mind for the Celtics' current body of work, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast sat down with Sports Illustrated's Bobby Krivitsky to talk about player grades from the players on the roster who likely deserve an incomplete all the way up to the starters. We grade each player against their preseason expectations, however, rather than against the best of the best in the league for each granular case. We think we were tough but fair in our assessments, but we'll let you, the listener, be the final arbiter in that regard. And we also get caught up on the news, and there's a little to speak of this week, from Jayson Tatum's Player of the Month nod to who Boston was looking to trade before the start of the season, so be sure to tune in.

For whatever reason, the Seahawks have decided to go with the aging legend, which means we’ll get at least one more chapter to Adrian Peterson’s NFL story.
