Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald provided a few injury updates after his team’s practice at Lumen Field.
The Seahawks held their annual Football Fest Saturday night at Lumen Field, a day that provided plenty of exciting actions for fans, but that also featured one potentially serious injury.
Safety AJ Finley, who joined the team late last season as a waiver claim, suffered a knee injury that, based off the initial diagnosis by athletic trainers and team physicians, was not positive, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said.
The injury occurred on a play on which Finley, receiver Dareke Young and cornerback Keydrain Calligan all went up to battle for a Jalen Milroe pass, with Young coming down with a touchdown reception. Finley was injured as all three landed in the end zone, and was later taken off the field on a cart.
“We’re going to get test, but the initial feedback is not positive,” Macdonald said. “I won’t make a declaration yet, but thoughts and prayers are with AJ. That’s what we were doing at the end (of practice) there, just saying a prayer on his behalf. What a great person, what a great young person full of great spirit, incredibly smart, just treats everybody with such respect. He’s got such a life about him, so it’s heartbreaking. These guys, they work so hard and it’s just one play. It’s such a shame.”
