Seahawks Add Quarterback For Sunday Night's Game
The Seattle Seahawks will head into tomorrow’s Sunday night matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers without superstar quarterback Russell Wilson.
According to Seattle insider Bob Condotta, the team has elevated former Jacksonville Jaguars QB Jake Luton from the practice squad to serve as a backup for starter Geno Smith.

Through three starts for the Jags in 2020, Luton notched an 0-3 record behind 642 yards, two touchdowns and a whopping six interceptions on a 54.5 completion percentage. The former sixth-round pick out of Oregon State signed with the Seahawks prior to the 2021 season, but was then waived after Week 3.
After Wilson left Sunday’s loss to the Rams with an injury to the middle finger on his throwing hand, Smith came in and finished the game with 131 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 10/17 passing. With Wilson now placed on IR, the Seahawks have a clear need for a backup behind Smith for at least the next three weeks.
