Rhattigan was elevated from the practice squad each of the last three weeks, leaving the Seahawks with a decision to make heading into this week. A player can’t be elevated from the practice squad to play more than three times, so the Seahawks opted to sign the special teamer to the active roster for the time being. Rhattigan has appeared in 22 games for the Seahawks since joining the team as a UDFA out of Army in 2021.

An undrafted rookie out of Army, Rhattigan played 16 snaps on special teams in Week 1 for the Seahawks. He recorded one tackle. Seattle now has to create a spot on their roster to make room for Rhattigan. RB Rashaad Penny (calf) and OL Ethan Pocic (knee) are candidates to go on injured reserve, or they could make another move to free up a spot.
