The Seattle Seahawks reunited with nose tackle Matt Gotel and also signed cornerback Tyler Hall on Tuesday, bringing them to their practice squad, the team said.

To make room on the practice squad, running back George Holani was placed on practice squad injured reserve and safety Marquise Blair was released for the second time in less than a week. Holani injured his ankle in Seattle’s Week 2 game against the New England Patriots after being elevated from the practice squad.

Gotel was a 53-man roster candidate for the Seahawks in the summer, spending the first portion of training camp with the team before he acquired an ankle injury. He landed on injured reserve and was later released with an injury settlement. Gotel is from Lakewood, Washington, and finished last season on Seattle’s practice squad as well.

Despite entering his third season, Gotel is yet to feature in a regular season game. However, at 25 years old, there is still time for Seattle to try and nurture a hometown player.

Hall went undrafted in 2020 and has played for the Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders and, most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles. He spent most of training camp with the Eagles but was released with an injury settlement in August.

In 31 career games (six starts), Hall has 46 total tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and four pass deflections. Hall played 379 defensive snaps throughout the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Raiders, and nearly 78 percent of those came in the slot.

The signing of Gotel may signal Seattle is preparing for life without Byron Murphy II and/or Leonard Williams after both sustained injuries on Sunday. Gotel might be lifted in the Week 4 game at the Detroit Lions on Monday, Sept. 30.
