The Seattle Seahawks practice squad has gained another member, this time, a quarterback. On Monday morning, the Seahawks signed former Minnesota Vikings backup to their practice squad, giving the organization another quarterback behind Geno Smith and Sam Howell – who are on the active roster already.
The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

After four years at BYU, Hall was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft. Hall was solid for the Cougars. During his last two years in Provo, he threw for 5,754 yard, 51 touchdowns against only 11 interceptions.
With the Vikings, Hall did see some action. After starter Kirk Cousins was lost for the year with an Achilles injury, Hall was pressed into service. During his first start against the Falcons, Hall suffered a concussion and did not return after half. The Vikings did hold on for a 31-28 victory, so the win was credited to his record. However, in his second start he was benched at half during a 33-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Overall, Hall’s NFL stats aren’t much to look at. He’s completed 13-of-20 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns and one interception.
