The Seahawks signed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna and defensive end Kenneth Odumegwu to their practice squad on Wednesday.
Those additions come a day after Seattle released defensive tackle Kyon Barrs and tackle Max Pircher from the practice squad. Odumegwu, who is from Nigeria, fills the international player spot on the practice squad, allowing the Seahawks to have a total of 17 players. Pircher, who is from Italy, previously was Seattle's international player on the practice squad.
Odumegwu, a native of Anambra State in southeast Nigeria, spent last season on Green Bay's practice squad after being allocated to the Packers as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway program (IPP). Odumegwu grew up playing soccer then basketball before being discovered by American football scouts, leading to an invite to former NFL defensive end Osi Umenyiora's NFL Africa Touchdown Camp in Accra, Ghana in 2022. There, the 6-foot-6, 269-pound Odumegwu earned defensive MVP honors, leading to a spot at the NFL International Combine in London, which paved the way for him to become part of the IPP.
Bohanna, who is 6-foot-4, 327 pounds, came into the league as a sixth-round pick out of Kentucky in the 2021 draft, and has spent time with the Cowboys, Lions and Titans over the past three seasons. In two seasons with the Cowboys, Bohanna appeared in 27 games with 10 starts while playing for then defensive line coach Aden Durde, who is now Seattle's defensive coordinator. Bohanna appeared in six games last season with three starts, splitting time between Detroit and Tennessee.
