The Seahawks have reportedly made their first personnel move in the wake of a season-ending injury to left tackle George Fant on Friday, signing free agent Tyrus Thompson, according to a report from Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
The 6-5, 330-pound Thompson started 26 games at left tackle at Oklahoma before being taken in the fifth round of the 2015 draft by Minnesota. Thompson, though, did not stick with the Vikings and has been with four other teams since, most recently with Carolina, which waived him last week. He has yet to appear in an NFL regular season games.
