The Seahawks revamped their running back room ahead of the team's showdown against the Buccaneers.
The Seattle Seahawks continue to make moves to improve the team’s running back depth. As Seattle made a new addition, the front office also parted ways with a recent signing just days before the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Seahawks signed former Washington Huskies standout Myles Gaskin to the team’s practice squad. To make room for Gaskin, Seattle parted ways with Khalil Herbert. Seattle initially announced the signing of the former Chicago Bears veteran on September 23, 2025.
Less than two weeks later, the Seahawks are moving on from Herbert in favor of Gaskin. It is not all bad news for Herbert who quickly signed with a new AFC team.
Here’s what you need to know about the latest Seahawks roster moves.
The Jets Signed RB Khalil Herbert Just 1 Day After Being Released by the Seahawks
It did not take long for Herbert to find a new home. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the New York Jets signed Herbert as running back Bralen Allen is dealing with an injury.
Jets signed RB Khalil Herbert and placed RB Braelon Allen on injured reserve,” Schefter detailed in an October 2, message on X.
The Seahawks initially signed Herbert as Zach Charbonnet was dealing with an injury. Seattle now looks to have a healthy duo of Charbonnet and Ken Walker, but Gaskin gives the team a bit of insurance with an experienced veteran behind the Seahawks one-two punch at running back.
