Eastern (undisclosed) passed his physical and was taken off the Seahawks' active/PUP list Thursday.
Less than two weeks after Seattle sent Eastern to its PUP list with an unspecified injury, he's already back in action. He'll be competing with the likes of 2025 fifth-rounder Rylie Mills and undrafted rookie free agent Uso Seumalo for a spot on the defensive-line depth chart in 2026.

Seahawks' Deven Eastern: Snagged by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks selected Eastern in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 242nd overall.
Eastern was a full-time starter at defensive tackle in each of his last three seasons at Minnesota. He was named an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2025 after posting 38 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defense across 13 games. Eastern has an intimidating 6-foot-5, 315-pound frame that makes him an intriguing development project for the Seahawks, who will certainly work with the 23-year-old on his technique and instinct to try and develop him into an NFL-caliber defensive lineman.
