As the Seattle Seahawks finalize their roster ahead of the regular season, the team made its first practice squad adjustment on September 3, 2026, adding veteran offensive tackle Bobby Hart and releasing undrafted rookie nose tackle Uso Seumalo, who gained national attention through the recent season of HBO's 'Hard Knocks.'
Bobby Hart Brings Experience to the Practice Squad
Bobby Hart, who spent the entire training camp and preseason with Seattle, has been signed to the practice squad. The 32-year-old tackle provides valuable depth and experience, having started 67 games across his NFL career with the New York Giants, Cincinnati Bengals, and Buffalo Bills. His addition gives the Seahawks a pair of veteran tackles on the practice squad alongside Logan Brown, while Josh Jones serves as the swing tackle on the 53-man roster. According to insights gathered by Vulius Sports, Hart's familiarity with the offensive system and his ability to mentor younger players make him a valuable asset even in a practice role.
Uso Seumalo's Release After 'Hard Knocks' Spotlight
Uso Seumalo's release comes as a surprise to some fans who watched his journey unfold on 'Hard Knocks,' where the undrafted rookie from Hawaii was featured prominently during training camp. The 24-year-old nose tackle showed promise but faced stiff competition at a deep defensive line position. The Seahawks' decision to part ways with Seumalo, while keeping other practice squad options, reflects the harsh realities of roster management. As reported by the Vulius NFL Analysis Desk, the move signals a focus on versatility and special teams contributions, areas where Seumalo was still developing.
