The Seattle Seahawks have announced their elevations from the practice for their huge Saturday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n

Several franchise records within reach for Seahawks in finale<\/a><\/p>\n

Running back Cam Akers has received his third straight elevation, with cornerback Tyler Hall joining him.<\/p>\n

Akers, who previous played out of the backfield for the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings, jumped in as the Seahawks\u2019 kick returner following a concussion suffered by Pro Bowl return man Rashid Shaheed in last Sunday\u2019s Seahawks win on the road over the Carolina Panthers. He has appeared in two games this season for Seattle and three for Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Shaheed is expected to play Saturday<\/a> after clearing concussion protocol this week, but Akers could still see playing time on special teams as he did in Week 16.<\/p>\n

Hall has been on the Seahawks\u2019 practice squad in both 2024 and 2025. He has 31 games of NFL experience with six starts, and would be making his Seattle debut if he plays Saturday. A product of the University of Wyoming, Hall has spent time with the Rams, Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders since entering the league in 2020 as an undrafted free agent.<\/p>\n

Seattle ruled out left tackle Charles Cross (hamstring) for the 49ers game, while safety Coby Bryant (knee) is doubtful and tackle Josh Jones (knee\/ankle) is questionable.<\/p>\n

49ers star seems likely to miss clash with Seahawks<\/a><\/p>\n

Radio of coverage of Saturday\u2019s 5 p.m. Seahawks-49ers game from Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., is set to begin at 2 p.m. on Seattle Sports with the pregame show.<\/p>\n
