NASHVILLE--The Seahawks added linebacker depth ahead of their week of practices in Tennessee, bringing back rookie linebacker Easton Gibbs.
Defensive lineman Nathan Pickering was waived/injured to make room on the 90-man roster.
Gibbs, an undrafted rookie out of Wyoming, initially signed with the Seahawks in May, but was waived earlier in training camp. During his college career, Gibbs started 39 games for the Cowboys, recording 362 tackles and earning first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors each of the past two seasons.
Pickering, also an undrafted rookie, signed with the Seahawks in May.
