With a slew of injuries afflicting the Seahawks O-line this year, they brought in future-HOF offensive tackle, Jason Peters to the Practice Squad to shore up the depth.

After spending the past few weeks on the PS, mentoring the backups, he's been elevated to the active roster for the Browns game, potentially even starting for them, if the need arises.

At an age of 41 Years and 280 Days, Jason Peters would become 2nd oldest Offensive Lineman to EVER play in an NFL game, surpassing Jackie Slater (who was 41 Years and 169 Days old in his final game played).

The only player older was Ray Brown, who played until he was 43 years old.

For one last little fun note, here's the oldest O-lineman to play for each NFL team

I love Jason Peters but man that guy needs to retire. Hurts to see him jumping teams and not being a big contributor

He's got debts no honest man can pay.
