The Seattle Seahawks signed running back Dontae McMillan, a Chief Sealth International High School graduate, to their practice squad after he previously spent time with the team during offseason and training camp and was waived in August. A University of Washington product, McMillan went undrafted in 2023 and now provides depth at the running back position for the organization. The move marks a continuation of the team's one-step plan to bolster its practice squad with local, familiar faces. With this addition, the Seahawks aim to maintain reserve flexibility while evaluating potential future roles. Momentum for McMillan hinges on continued development and depth needs as the season progresses.
