As injuries continue to pile up along the Seattle Seahawks' offensive line, the team reunites with Jason Peters.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Seahawks are expected to add the nine-time Pro Bowler to their practice squad.

The offensive line has been a massive problem in Seattle so far this season. ESPN metrics rank this unit in the bottom four of the NFL in both pass block and run block win rate.

Geno Smith was sacked three times and hit nine times in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Detroit Lions. Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill were credited with a total of 16 pressures.

Aidan Hutchinson generated a career-high 10 pressures on 54 pass-rush snaps against the Seahawks (18.5%), the most pressures of any player in a game this season.

Guards Anthony Bradford and Laken Tomlinson were on the injury report before Monday night, but both players were able to start against the Lions. Right tackle Abraham Lucas has yet to play in a game this season after undergoing offseason knee surgery.

The Seahawks placed Lucas on the physically unable to perform list in August. Sunday's game against the New York Giants is the first game for which he is eligible to play, but there are currently no signs that he is on track to return.

Even with Lucas out of action, the main problem for the Seahawks' offensive line was inside.

This is the second straight year the Seahawks have signed Peters during this season. He joined the team's practice squad in September 2023 after Lucas and Charles Cross were injured.

Peters, who turns 43 in January, played in eight games and started twice for Seattle last season.
