5 takeaways from Seattle Seahawks\u2019 OTA and minicamp practices<\/a><\/p>\n

The joint practice will take place ahead of the Seahawks-Packers preseason matchup on Saturday, Aug. 23, at Lambeau Field, which is the third and final preseason game for both teams. The Athletic\u2019s Matt Schneidman\u00a0originally reported back in May<\/a>\u00a0that the two teams were planning to hold a joint practice.<\/p>\n

This marks the second straight year the Seahawks will have participated in a joint practice under head coach Mike Macdonald, who took over in January 2024. Last year, they held\u00a0a pair of joint practices with the Tennessee Titans<\/a>\u00a0in Nashville ahead of the teams\u2019 preseason matchup. That was Seattle\u2019s first joint practice against another team since 1991, when the\u00a0Seahawks hosted the Atlanta Falcons for a scrimmage in Portland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year, Seahawks Radio Network analyst and former NFL linebacker Dave Wyman made the trip to Nashville for the joint practices. He came away very impressed and explained how the two practices may have been even more valuable than a preseason game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll bet if you ask the coaches, they say that this is better, because you can control it,\u201d\u00a0Wyman said last August<\/a>\u00a0on Seattle Sports\u2019 Wyman and Bob. \u201cYou can go to the other coach and say, \u2018Hey, do you mind if we extend this period?\u2019 \u2026 Once a game starts, it takes off and goes its own direction. And these are an opportunity to work on specific things. It could not be a better, more useful tool for Mike Macdonald.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seahawks general manager John Schneider is a native of De Pere, Wis., and has strong ties to the Packers\u2019 organization, having spent four years as a scout for Green Bay in the 1990s and eight years in the Packers\u2019 front office in the 2000s.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks open\u00a0their preseason slate<\/a>\u00a0with home games against Pete Carroll\u2019s Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 7, and the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, Aug. 15, before traveling to Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
