The Seahawks are suddenly scrambling for offensive tackle depth after both Charles Cross (toe) and Abe Lucas (knee) suffered injuries in Sunday’s home loss to the Rams. Apparently one option they’re considering is signing long-time veteran Jason Peters.
According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, the team is bringing in the 41-year old Peters for a free agent visit tomorrow.

Head coach Pete Carroll later confirmed that the team is in talks with Peters.
Pete Carroll confirms @nflnetwork report they’re talking with OT Jason Peters, but he hasn’t arrived for visit yet. When asked if Jason visit suggests that Charles Cross’ toe is really banged up, Pete notes that both Charles *and* Abe Lucas got hurt. So, they’re concerned.

While he’s mostly played left tackle, Peters has also put in time at right tackle – so in theory he might be able to take over at either spot. He played 10 games for the Cowboys last season, bringing his career total to 238.
The Seahawks have also re-signed Greg Eiland to their practice squad for extra depth here.
