The Seahawks have agreed to terms with former University of Washington standout Marcel Reece to add depth at the fullback spot after Will Tukuafu suffered a concussion in Sunday’s 40-7 win over the Carolina Panthers. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Reece, 31, had a tryout with the Seahawks last week.
He has not played this season after being released by the Raiders in September on what was his first day back after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. According to ESPN, Reece said a legal “natural plant root extract by the name of Umcka” he ingested converted into the banned substance “metylhexanamine,” which led to his suspension.
