Eastern's Roster Battle Hits Snags | Seattle Seahawks News

Deven Eastern’s Seahawks dreams hit a major snag after being placed on the PUP list, sidelining the massive seventh-round pick just as training camp heats up. With a stacked defensive line and a roster spot already tight, Eastern’s injury opens the door for rookies like Uso Seumalo, Aidan Hubbard, and Marvin Jones Jr. to seize the spotlight. Though Eastern’s size and college production make him a tantalizing prospect for nose tackle or three-technique, his health is now the biggest question mark. Even if he doesn’t make the final 53, the Seahawks likely see him as a practice squad asset — but timing couldn’t be worse for the big man’s chance to prove himself.
