"The Seattle Seahawks elevated running backs Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr. from their practice squad Saturday to be available for Super Bowl LX, the team announced. They will give Seattle a pair of backfield options to back up Ken Walker III and George Holani against the New England Patriots. Holani became Seattle's No. 2 running back when Zach Charbonnet, who was Seattle's co-starter along with Walker, tore his ACL in the divisional round."
"He adds depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, and has also been an option as a kickoff returner. This is Taylor's seventh game this season for the Patriots, as the team employs a rotation along the defensive line. Taylor blocked a field goal in the AFC Championship Game to help preserve the Patriots' 10-7 lead in the second half, as the game ended with that score."
