The Seattle Seahawks are signing veteran Earl Mitchell as a reinforcement at defensive tackle in the wake of Jarran Reed's suspension, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Mitchell, 31, has made 66 starts since entering the league as a third-round pick out of Arizona in 2010, including 28 with the San Francisco 49ers over the past two seasons. He has also played for the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans and has 6.5 sacks in 130 career games.
He became an unrestricted free agent after the 49ers declined to pick up his option for the 2019 season.
