Field Gulls
It was a better day for the Seahawks offense than the previous practice.
The Seattle Seahawks continued their training camp on Tuesday with their second day of padded practice. It’s
Let’s get to the Day 6 recap!
Seahawks swap out interior defensive linemen
Get used to non-injury related roster churn over the next several weeks. Nose tackle Justin Rogers was waived on Tuesday, with former Harvard and Louisville defensive tackle Thor Griffith taking his spot. Griffith was an FCS All-American selection at Harvard and recorded three sacks in his lone season with the Louisville Cardinals.
A better day for the offense
After Mike Macdonald showing obvious displeasure with the offense on Monday, the main storyline to watch was how well the offense would respond in Day 2 of padded practices. It looks like the message was heard loud and clear from the first-team through the third-teamers.
...But it wasn’t all domination for the offense
I believe this is Drew Lock’s first training camp interception, and it was caught by a roster bubble corner in Nehemiah Pritchett. It was a difficult rookie season for Pritchett in limited playing time, so any positive moments he can have in camp, preseason, and in the film room will be crucial as far as staying on the roster.
A.J. Finley also picked off rookie Jalen Milroe.
The first sign of training camp chippiness!
As the practices get more physical, typically you’ll get some training camp skirmishes, scuffles, and shoving matches. It didn’t take too long for that to materialize, with Anthony Bradford and rookie Jared Ivey getting into it.
A big day for Dareke Young
With the Seahawks drafting two wide receivers and signing Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Dareke Young’s future on the roster looks fairly shaky. The third-year player from Lenoir-Rhyne had a few bright spots throughout Tuesday’s practice.
3 notable Seahawks not at practice
Shaquill Griffin is reportedly going to return to practice later this week after leaving due to a personal matter. Ernest Jones IV is also out due to a personal matter. Running back Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice but no indication that it was injury-related. Mike Macdonald wasn’t available for post-practice questions.
Grey Zabel talks about ‘big brother’ Charles Cross
The Seahawks’ offensive line issues have put a greater spotlight on first-round pick Grey Zabel, who will hopefully be one of the cornerstones of Seattle’s line for years to come. As the projected starting left guard, he’ll be alongside Charles Cross, who’s been a great help to Zabel as he experiences life as an NFL player.
“I can’t even put into words how much,” Zabel said in his media availability. “A guy like Charles Cross has helped me so far. He seems like a big brother to me, guiding me though the ranks, what to expect, and some tips and tricks. It goes all the way across the board from Olu [Oluwatimi], Jalen [Sundell], I’m fortunate to be in the offensive line room that I...
