The need for another defensive tackle was hardly a secret. The Seahawks entered training camp down a man from last year’s interior, with Al Woods departing for the Jaguars in free agency.
In Seattle was a shallow group made up of just Jarran Reed, Poona Ford, Bryan Mone, Cedrick Lattimore, and Demarcus Christmas. Within a few days of on-field work starting, both Reed and Ford were forced to sit out due to (as far as we know, not severe) injuries. Regardless of Reed and Ford’s injuries, or the projection of Christmas, a second-year DT who’s running with the first-team in Reed’s absence, the Seahawks will certainly sign a contributor inside before the regular season.
