Tyler Lockett Is Still A Beast Downfield

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will have plenty of pressure on him once the regular season starts and he's the No. 1 target, but for now, he's still just working the kinks out and letting the young DBs see what it's like to guard a big-time receiver. Along that line, it's pretty clear that […]

John Ursua Draws Big Comparison

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver John Ursua is battling to try to land a roster spot in general, but in the meantime, he's turned some heads for his similarity to a Seattle great. Ursua happens to sport No. 15, the same number Doug Baldwin wore as a rookie, and he also happens to be almost […]

Marquise Blair, Jamar Taylor Shining On Defense

It's not the Legion of Boom, but a handful of new players like Marquise Blair, Jamar Taylor, and Al Woods are already turning heads on the Seattle Seahawks defense. Blair, the team's second-round pick this season, got special mention by head coach Pete Carroll for how quickly he's been able to adjust and physically do […]

Will Dissly Continues To Make Progress

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly continues to recover from the torn patellar tendon he suffered last season, but he still hasn't made any game appearances. Head coach Pete Carroll made a point of addressing this with reporters this week, discussing that the team is happy with Dissly's recovery and presence in practice, but he'd […]

Geno Smith Back At Practice On Friday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith returned to practice on Friday following a surgical procedure performed last week on his knee. Smith had a cyst removed from his knee, but the minor procedure was only expected to sideline him for a couple of weeks at the most. However, with Smith competing with Paxton Lynch for the […]

Bobby Wagner Returns To Practice

Following a procedure done on his lower body earlier in training camp, All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner returned to practice for the first time on Friday. Wagner had received a platelet-rich injection for a vague "lower-body thing" earlier in camp, but head coach Pete Carroll said he's champing at the bit to get back at it. […]

Russell Wilson May Play On Sunday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was held out of the preseason opener last week, and head coach Pete Carroll bashed on himself for giving the press that information ahead of time. In this week's press conference, Carroll made a point of refusing to reveal whether his starters would play or not, so that leaves the […]

Ezekiel Ansah Suffers Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (groin) suffered a new injury to his groin this week, according to head coach Pete Carroll. However, Carroll said the injury is minor. Ansah should be ready for Week 1, but this is just another reminder of how injury-prone the pass-rusher is. He ended 2018 with the Lions on […]

Chris Carson Catches Practice Touchdown

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been getting particular attention in practice so far for his receiving skills. On Tuesday, everyone was reminded again of how much Seattle wants to include their running backs in the passing game as both Carson and Rashaad Penny recorded receiving touchdowns.

Jason Myers Makes 55-Yarder

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers got off to a rocky start by pushing a 56-yard attempt wide right, but just before the end of the first half on Thursday, Myers was able to sneak a 55-yarder inside the right upright. Myers lost last year's kicking competition to Sebastian Janikowski, but after a Pro Bowl season […]

Barkevious Mingo Gets First Sack For Seattle

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Barkevious Mingo provided solid pressure all night in the team's first preseason game against the Broncos. Mingo played surprisingly deep into the game, all the way into the fourth quarter, as the coaches are trying to give him as many pass-rushing reps as possible. With Frank Clark in Kansas City, Jarran […]

Ed Dickson Expected Out Through First Game

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson is expected to be out for up to five weeks after having knee surgery, and it's not clear if Seattle will be keeping him now. Dickson was brought in last season, but he didn't play much of a role for most of his time with the team. Now with […]

George Fant Suffers Sprained Ankle

Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman/tight end George Fant went down with an ankle sprain in Thursday's game that head coach Pete Carroll described as "legit." While that's not a medical definition, it gives nothing but bad feelings about Fant's timetable. Fant is a hybrid player for Seattle, often working as a sixth offensive lineman/blocking tight end, […]

Jazz Ferguson Shows Off Strength With TD

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jazz Ferguson is one step closer to making the squad after he showed out in the first preseason game of the year. Ferguson snagged the most passes of any receiver Seattle receiver, led the team in receiving yards, and muscled his way ahead of a defensive back to snatch a six-yard […]

Xavier Turner Leads The Way Against Broncos

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/running back Xavier Turner was the bell cow in the team's first preseason game against the Broncos, and it's not surprising if most readers have never heard of him. An undrafted rookie signed out of Tarleton State University, Turner is lucky if he's fifth on the depth chart at running back, and […]

Paxton Lynch Shines In First Preseason Game

Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Paxton Lynch looked like a star when he was on the field against his former team on Thursday. Lynch took over from Geno Smith and commanded the second half of the game, throwing for 109 yards and a touchdown. Lynch's 11-for-15 performance garnered a lot of attention since it came against […]

Geno Smith Has Minor Surgery

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith underwent minor surgery on his knee on Friday to remove a cyst. Smith was given the start in Thursday's preseason game against the Broncos, but he was removed after the first half. Smith struggled in his half of work, going 3-for-9 for 58 yards and getting sacked twice. Smith is […]

Russell Wilson To Rest, Geno Smith To Start Thursday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will be rested for the team's preseason opener on Thursday against the Denver Broncos, so head coach Pete Carroll has tabbed Geno Smith as his starter for the exhibition opener. It's customary for many veterans to rest for the meaningless dress rehearsal, and 'DangeRuss' is not an exception. When the […]

Ed Dickson Expected To Be Sidelined At Least One Month

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said on Wednesday that veteran tight end Ed Dickson (knee) underwent knee surgery and the team is hopeful he'll only need a four- or five-week recovery period. The timetable will put his availability for the regular-season opener in question. With Will Dissly also banged up, it appears Nick Vannett […]

Jacob Hollister Has Impressed Early in Seahawks Camp

Seattle Seahawks TE Jacob Hollister has drawn praise throughout camp from OC Brian Schottenheimer. It was just last year when Hollister was drawing praise in the Patriots camp and Belichick was quoted saying he had a “great future”. The Pats ended up trading Hollister to Seattle for a seventh round pick, and he may just […]
