RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks signed veteran offensive tackle Jason Peters with the team having concerns about the health of both of their starting tackles. The signing was announced by Peters' representatives and was later announced by the team as an addition to the practice squad. Peters is protection for Seattle in case injuries suffered by left tackle Charles Cross and right tackle Abraham Lucas end up being long term. Cross has a sprained toe and Lucas is dealing with soreness in his knee both suffered in Seattle's season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 41-year-old Peters is a two-time first-team All-Pro and a nine-time Pro Bowl selection. Peters appeared in 10 games and made one start last season for Dallas.
