Seahawks bring in former Rams quarterback to practice squad

Is the Brett Rypien revenge game on?!

Probably not, but the Los Angeles Rams’ most recent starting quarterback is now a part of the Seattle Seahawks practice squad. The Spokane native is officially Seattle’s third quarterback behind Drew Lock and Geno Smith. Rypien started for the injured Matthew Stafford in last week’s 20-3 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and was let go after the Rams signed Carson Wentz.

Defensive tackle and preseason standout Matt Gotel was released from the practice squad to make room for Rypien. Austin Faoliu’s presence on the practice squad after he cleared waivers likely played a role in Gotel’s departure.
