The Seattle Seahawks held one of their final public practices in Renton on Tuesday, aka the day before the day before their preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. While Kenneth Walker returned following three straight days absent with a sore foot, several other notable Seahawks sat out for the day.<\/p>\n
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, back after missing Monday\u2019s practice for a family matter, provided updates on injured players, as well as cornerback Shaquill Griffin, who finally returned to practice after missing all of last week due to a personal matter. Griffin isn\u2019t injured, but he\u2019ll be eased back into practice after missing so much of training camp.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Macdonald had to say regarding the other injured players.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis back tightened up a little bit. We don\u2019t think it\u2019s [serious]. It\u2019s really day-to-day at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jalen Sundell has been the primary center since Monday, with rookies Bryce Cabeldue and Federico Maranges getting backup reps.<\/p>\n
Tyrice Knight, linebacker<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, same thing [that he\u2019s day-to-day]. He just got a little tangle with his knee. So, we\u2019re getting it imaged and kind of go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knight did not finish Monday\u2019s practice and had a wrapping on his leg.<\/p>\n
\u201cJosh had surgery on his hand. He should be back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven Sims, wide receiver<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re getting closer. It\u2019s probably day-to-day at this point. Maybe a couple more days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Macdonald also noted that Montorie Foster Jr also has a hamstring injury, which Field Gulls observed at Friday\u2019s practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sims is listed as one of the primary special teams returners, alongside Seahawks rookie Tory Horton.<\/p>\n Mike Morris, defensive end<\/p>\n \u201cJust getting him tested out right now, it\u2019s just like a lower body. It felt funny, so we just took care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n Chris Stoll, long snapper<\/p>\n \u201cNo update on him. It\u2019s positive. He\u2019s getting better, but we just don\u2019t know long it\u2019s going to take.\u201d<\/p>\n Stoll\u2019s back acted up on Friday, leading to Brady Russell getting long snapper duties on Saturday. Seattle signed Zach Triner<\/a> to take Stoll\u2019s place while he recovers.<\/p>\n Jonathan Hankins, nose tackle<\/p>\n \u201cNo update with Hankins.\u201d<\/p>\n Hankins has been on the NFI list with a back injury.<\/p>\n You can watch the full press conference below!<\/p>\n
