Seahawks Elevate RB, CB for Week 18 Clash Against 49ers
The Seattle Seahawks have announced key player elevations for their upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. This crucial game is scheduled for Saturday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Player Elevations for Week 18 Clash
Running back Cam Akers and cornerback Tyler Hall have been elevated from the practice squad. This marks Akers’ third consecutive elevation. He previously played for the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings before joining the Seahawks.
Cam Akers’ Role
Akers fills an important role as the Seahawks’ kick returner. He stepped in after Pro Bowl returner Rashid Shaheed sustained a concussion in last week’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Akers has participated in two games for Seattle this season and three games for Minnesota.
Shaheed has successfully cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play. However, Akers may continue to see time on special teams.
Tyler Hall’s Impact
Cornerback Tyler Hall has been part of Seattle’s practice squad since 2024. He has 31 games of NFL experience, including six starts. If he plays on Saturday, it will mark his debut with the Seahawks. Hall is a former undrafted free agent from the University of Wyoming, with previous stints at the Rams, Atlanta Falcons, and Las Vegas Raiders.
