The Seahawks are choosing the familiar to back-fill at safety after Earl Thomas’ season-ending injury.
They have agreed to a contract with veteran safety Maurice Alexander in time for the former Los Angeles Rams starter to play on Sunday against his former team at CenturyLink Field. That is according to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Wednesday morning, citing a league source.
The Seahawks signed Alexander, 27, this spring as a free agent. He was the Rams’ starting strong safety until they benched him for a game against the Seahawks last season.
