Seahawks activate OT Abraham Lucas, place OG Phil Haynes on IR

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Seattle activated right tackle Abraham Lucas from injured reserve before the Seahawks’ game Thursday night at the Dallas Cowboys.

In a corresponding move, Seattle (6-5) placed right guard Phil Haynes (toe) on injured reserve to make room on the 53-man roster.

Lucas went on IR after sustaining a knee injury in the season opener. He returned to practice two weeks ago and was a full participant this week.

“He’s back to where we’re counting on him to be able to help and contribute,” coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday before the team left for Dallas. “… Abe had a good week. Everything’s kind of on schedule as we planned it out quite some time ago aiming for this week. He did his part.”

The Seahawks made Lucas, 25, a third-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Washington State. He started 16 games last season and this year’s season opener, a 30-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10.

Haynes, 28, missed practice this week because of the toe injury and was ruled out Wednesday for the game against the Cowboys (8-3). He will have to miss at least the next four games.

A fourth-round draft pick by the Seahawks in 2019, Haynes has played in eight games this season (all starts) and 31 total (13 starts) in five seasons.

The Seahawks also elevated wide receiver Cody Thompson from the practice squad on Thursday. Thompson, 27, has appeared in six games this season, primarily on special teams, and has one reception for 10 yards.

Seahawks G Phil Haynes signs one-year extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Seattle Seahawks guard Phil Haynes signed a one-year contract extension on Tuesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the Seahawks for Haynes, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent next month.

Haynes, 27, appeared in 15 games (three starts) last season. He finished the campaign having played in 51 percent of Seattle’s offensive snaps.

“He’s got a starting caliber to us,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said in his end-of-season press conference. “We like him. He’s physical. Consistent is a good word for him because he’s there. He’s there for you. He’s a great kid.

“It worked out well to put him and Gabe (Jackson) in. It helped Gabe with his knee, and it gave Phil a chance to be a comfortable starter. We had three guys. If anybody went down, we could rotate our guys around and get it taken care of. I’ve got high hopes that Phil could be a real factor for us.”

Haynes has appeared in 22 games (five starts) since being selected by the Seahawks in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Wake Forest.
