Scooped by Seahawks
The Seahawks claimed Etling off waivers from the Falcons on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: This was a bit of a surprise since Geno Smith is under contract to be Russell Wilson's backup for a second year, and the Seahawks also signed undrafted free agent Anthony Gordon to compete with Smith. Etling hasn't played an NFL game since entering the league in 2018, but the added competition could benefit the Seahawks, as the team may opt to keep three quarterbacks around because of the pandemic.

Goes on COVID list
The Falcons placed Etling (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Matthew Tabeek of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Since being a fourth-round pick of the Patriots in 2018, Etling has spent most of his time on a practice squad, and even when he was elevated to the Falcons' 53-man roster last season, he never was active on game day. Now he'll have to go through the necessary testing to get off the COVID list to act as a camp body in Atlanta.
