Ed Werder of ESPN reports that the Seattle Seahawks signed Kย Ryan Longwell after he beat out three other kickers, includingย Neil Rackers.
Steven Hauschka suffered aย calf injury during last weekend’s win over Washington, so this seems like a pretty clear indication that he’s unlikely to suit up against the Falcons.
Longwell hasn’t played at all this year, following his release from the Vikings. He’s been a very good kicker over the years, so it will be interesting to see if his signing has an impact during this weekend’s game.
