Brandon Pili has been signed to the Seahawks' active roster but will not participate in the upcoming game against the Rams due to an illness. His signing is seen more as a reward for his contributions while on the practice squad since November 18, rather than an immediate impact move for the team's final game of the season.

Brandon Pili could be elevated from the practice squad to provide additional depth on the defensive line if rookie Byron Murphy II is unable to play due to a back issue. This situation highlights the Seahawks' need for reinforcement in the trenches as they close out a challenging season.

Brandon Pili was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Seahawks after being released by the Dolphins. However, he did not last long on the active roster, being waived again shortly after and subsequently re-signed to the Seahawks' practice squad. This suggests a struggle to secure a permanent spot on the active roster.
