Seahawks Expected To Sign DT Damon Harrison To Practice Squad

According to Adam Schefter, the Seahawks are signing veteran DT Damon Harrison to their practice squad. 

Harrison worked out for the Seahawks this week. The exact date of the signing is still up in the air as Harrison goes through the COVID-19 protocols for incoming free agents. 

Seattle has looked at adding some help at defensive tackle and Harrison is an established two-down player. 

A few weeks ago, Adam Schefter reported Harrison has decided to play in 2020 after all despite some initial doubts and mulling retirement. He added that Harrison was visiting with the Seahawks and Packers, Bears and Bengals also expressed interest.

Back in July, Harrison said in an interview he was taking his time and was looking to join “a winning program” for the upcoming season. 

Harrison, 31, originally signed on with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of William Penn back in 2012. He spent four years with the Jets before departing in free agency for a five-year, $46.25 million contract with the Giants.

The Giants later traded Harrison to the Lions. He was entering the fourth year of his five-year, $46.25 million deal when he agreed to a one-year, $11 million extension last year. 

Detroit released him in February. 

In 2019, Harrison appeared in 15 games for the Lions and recorded 48 tackles, two sacks and three pass defenses.
