Jason Peters is still going strong.
The Seattle Seahawks signed the 41-year-old veteran offensive tackle on Tuesday after a string of injuries on their offensive line, his agency said, via ESPN. Peters will first sign with Seattle’s practice squad.
The move to add Peters came after both right tackle Abraham Lucas and left tackle Charles Cross were knocked out of the on Sunday. Lucas missed the second half of the game at Lumen Field with a sore patella, an injury that has been lingering since training camp. Cross left the game in the second half with a toe injury, and did not return.
That left Jake Curhan and Stone Forsyth, both third-year backups, to take their place. The only other tackle on Seattle’s roster is Greg Eiland.
While neither Lucas or Cross’ injuries appear to be overly serious or long-term issues, Peters’ presence on the roster adds a bit of stability for the time being.
Peters first entered the league in 2004 after going undrafted out of Arkansas. The nine-time Pro Bowler quickly became a consistent starter throughout the league. He spent his first five seasons with the Buffalo Bills before a long 11-season stretch with the Philadelphia Eagles — who he helped to a Super Bowl win in 2017. Peters then had one-year runs with both the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys, where he appeared in 10 games and made one start last season.

Seattle will take on the Detroit Lions next on Sunday. It’s unclear if either Lucas or Cross will be available for that matchup in Michigan.
