The Seattle Seahawks have made notable roster adjustments by promoting two players from their practice squad ahead of their Week 18 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Running back Cam Akers and cornerback Tyler Hall are set to join the team as they prepare for this critical matchup.
Cam Akers Joins the Seahawks Roster
Cam Akers, a running back who was originally a second-round draft pick for the Los Angeles Rams in 2020, has been elevated for the third consecutive week. With this move, he strengthens the Seahawks’ backfield, providing depth alongside Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.

Since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2020, he has participated in 31 games, starting six of them. Most recently, Hall played 11 games, starting three, for the Las Vegas Raiders in the current season.
