RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have acquired offensive lineman Matt Tobin and a 2018 seventh-round pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

Tobin entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2013. He has started 21 games in four seasons and has played both tackle and guard spots.

The Seahawks lost starting left tackle George Fant to a season-ending knee injury during Friday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. Pete Carroll said Monday that second-year player Rees Odhiambo would get a shot to replace Fant.
