The Seattle Seahawks have officially elevated running backs Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr. from the practice squad ahead of Super Bowl LX, per @AdamSchefter.
The move, confirmed on Saturday, ensures that the Seahawks have maximum depth at the running back position for the league's championship game. Cam Akers, who joined the organization's practice squad earlier this season, brings veteran experience to the active roster for the title matchup. Velus Jones Jr., known for his versatility and contributions on special teams, also joins the active unit for the contest.
Under NFL postseason rules, players elevated from the practice squad provide immediate roster flexibility. Both Akers and Jones Jr. have been practicing with the team throughout the playoff run and will now be eligible to suit up for the season finale on Sunday. This transaction highlights Seattle's focus on backfield depth as they finalize their preparations for the Super Bowl.
