To clarify: Shaquem Griffin was NOT signed to the 53-man roster today. The Seahawks used one of two practice squad elevation spots on him, suggesting he will revert back to the practice team after Week 3– Alistair Corp (@byalistaircorp) September 26, 2020
How much playing time Shaquem earns remains to be seen, however it puts both the Griffin twins on the video game day lineup for the very first time throughout the 2020 season.
Shaquem Griffin getting the promotion from the practice team to the game day lineup offers the Seahawks extra depth at linebacker and on special groups. In addition, with the pass rush having a hard time to get home so far in 2020, its possible the group might utilize Griffin as a situational pass rusher, simply as it did down the stretch in 2019.
On Sunday the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys will take on in a Week 3 match that might show to have substantial late season implications when it concerns the NFC Standing and playoff seedings. Nevertheless, with the playoffs still months away and the Hawks seeking to remain undefeated in the face of moving 4 players, consisting of Bruce Irvin, Marquise Blair, Rasheem Green and Phillip Dorsett, to hurt reserve today, the Seahawks have actually left a spot on the 53 open, rather raising Shaquem Griffin to the video game day roster.
