The Seattle Seahawks’ deadline day move was on the margins.

The Seahawks signed defense tackle Cole Brevard to their practice squad, they announced on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, fellow defensive tackle Gary Smith III was released to make room for Brevard’s addition.

After going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, Brevard signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as a UDFA and spent training camp and preseason with the team. After he was waived during the cuts from 90 to 53, he was briefly signed to the Chiefs’

practice squad but was released ahead of the start of the regular season.

A six-foot-three, 346-pound nose tackle, Brevard began his college career at Penn State but appeared in just one game as a freshman. He spent the next three seasons at Purdue, where he played 37 games and totaled 38 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. He closed out his collegiate career at Texas, posting 18 tackles and one TFL.
