Deven Eastern’s Roster Race Begins | Seattle Seahawks News

Rookie nose tackle Deven Eastern is back on the field for the Seahawks after clearing his physical, vying for a roster spot despite stiff competition from veterans and other young talent. At just 23, Eastern embodies the team’s defensive line future, but his path is crowded with seasoned players like Jarran Reed and Brandon Pili — and even more young contenders like Bubba Thomas and J.R. Singleton. Complicating matters further, the Seahawks’ elite interior lineman Byron Murphy II is locked into a rotational role, limiting his impact — a situation that could shift if Eastern and others prove they can handle snaps. With his massive frame, Eastern has the potential to carve out a role — and maybe even unlock more versatility for the defense.
