Receiver Ty Scott has rejoined the Seattle Seahawks after being signed to the practice squad on Tuesday. Scott originally joined Seattle at the start of training camp but was waived during the team’s roster cuts to 53 players before the regular season.
To make room for Scott on the practice squad, the Seahawks released linebacker Michael Barrett.
Scott, an undrafted free agent out of Missouri State, first entered the NFL by signing with the Kansas City Chiefs last year but was waived before the season began. He later joined the DC Defenders of the United Football League, where he led the team in receiving with 418 yards on 25 receptions and scored three touchdowns.
During his time at Missouri State, Scott recorded 114 catches for 1,784 yards and 13 touchdowns across two seasons. He earned first-team All-MVFC honors in 2021 and was an honorable mention in 2022.
Barrett, a rookie linebacker from Michigan, was selected in the seventh round of this year’s draft by the Panthers and was later acquired by the Seahawks in a trade last month in exchange for cornerback Michael Jackson.
