RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks signed veteran offensive lineman Jason Peters to their practice squad Tuesday, potentially creating the opportunity for him to play in a 20th season.
The 42-year-old spent part of last season with the Seahawks, including two starts after being signed early in the season.
It will be Peters’ 21st season in the league, but he missed all of the 2012 season because of an Achilles injury. He has played at least one game in 19 seasons since his rookie year in 2004, including making 15 starts at left tackle for the Chicago Bears in 2021.
Peters — a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and six-time All Pro (two first team) — is one of five offensive linemen to play in at least 19 seasons, joining Lou Groza, Jackie Slater, Ray Brown and Bruce Matthews. All but Brown are in the Hall of Fame.
For now, the Peters signing appears to be a depth addition as the Seahawks are without right tackles Abraham Lucas and George Fant. Stone Forsythe started the last three games at the position. Peters also could be a candidate for time at guard.
The Seahawks released defensive tackle Matt Gotel to create the spot for Peters.
