The Seattle Seahawks have filled the open spot on their practice squad. On Wednesday, the team announced they had signed former Baltimore Ravens cornerback Damarion Williams to the practice squad. Head coach Mike Macdonald’s old Ravens connections once again proves strong.
Williams fills the open spot left vacant due to Seattle releasing fellow cornerback Eric Garror on Tuesday.
Originally a fourth round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Williams had only known the Ravens as his NFL home up until now. He played in 14 games for Baltimore as a rookie, recording 24 total tackles and defending two passes. Regrettably, Williams only played in one game during the 2023 season, and spent the rest of it on the injured reserve list.
In college, Williams had 163 total tackles and three interceptions during his three seasons with the Houston Cougars. He also returned a few punts as well.
Seattle’s health and depth at cornerback has been tested as of late, so it is wise for the organization to add someone like Williams, who is familiar with Macdonald’s system, to the practice squad.
