The Seattle Seahawks add former 49ers quarterback Adrian Martinez to their practice squad after starter Sam Darnold is ruled out with a quad injury for Week 9 against Arizona. With Drew Lock nursing a right elbow issue and rookie Jalen Milroe as the next option, Martinez—26, undrafted in 2023, 47‑college starts, 9,752 passing yards and 45 rushing touchdowns—offers a new depth piece. He earned UFL MVP and Championship Game MVP honors with the Birmingham Stallions in 2024, and saw limited NFL action with the 49ers last season. Seattle also signs LB Jamie Sheriff, releasing Jimmy Ciarlo and WR Malick Meiga.
