Former Auburn defensive lineman Justin Rogers is joining the Seattle Seahawks just in time for training camp. The Seahawks will hold their first practice of training camp on Wednesday, and the NFL team announced Rogers’ signing on Monday.

Rogers signed with Seattle after a Monday workout for the team.

Rogers will be seeking to make the team as defensive-line depth. The Seahawks seem set on their defensive-line starters already with Byron Murphy II, former Alabama standout Jarran Reed and Leonard Williams.

Rogers had been a free agent since June 18, when the Dallas Cowboys waived him.

Rogers originally joined the Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but Dallas waived the defensive tackle when it reduced its preseason roster to the regular-season limit of 53 active players last year.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed Rogers for their practice squad, but he returned to the Cowboys when they signed him to their active roster on Dec. 19. Though eligible, Rogers did not play in the final three weeks of the season.

Rogers played one season at Auburn. He transferred to the Tigers after playing at Kentucky in the 2020 through 2022 seasons.
