The Seattle Seahawks added defensive tackle Cole Brevard to their practice squad on Tuesday after releasing defensive tackle Gary Smith.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks made no moves before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, but they still added defensive depth by signing DT Cole Brevard to their practice squad.
Seattle announced it had signed Brevard to the practice squad and released DT Gary Smith to create roster space. Brevard worked out for the Seahawks on Tuesday and was added shortly after, with the team identified as the reigning Super Bowl champions in the report.
In a subsequent transaction, the Seahawks also released defensive tackle Gary Smith III to make room for Brevard on the practice squad.
Brevard, 25, was not selected in the 2026 NFL Draft but later signed with the Kansas City Chiefs on a three-year contract worth $3.11 million. He was cut by Kansas City, which then added him to its practice squad, before cutting him again just before the start of the 2026 regular season.
Before turning pro, Brevard played college football for five years, beginning with the Penn State Nittany Lions in 2021, transferring to the Purdue Boilermakers, then moving to the Texas Longhorns to finish his college career in 2025.
Across 51 college games, Brevard recorded 56 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, two passes defended and two fumble recoveries.
The Seahawks entered Week 10 with a 5-4 record.
