Field Gulls
The Seattle Seahawks are getting healthier in December.
Center Jalen Sundell and tight end Eric Saubert have both returned to practice ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Neither player will count against the 53-man roster limit, however they each have a 21-day window to practice before they can be added to the roster or shut down for the season. However, it looks like both will be returning sooner, as head coach Mike Macdonald stated that the team hopes to have both back against the Colts.
Sundell, who was the Seahawks starting center before going down four week ago with a knee injury, will look to potentially take his starting position back. However, recent comments from Coach Macdonald may indicate that Olu Oluwatimi could keep the center job, with Sundell potentially taking snaps at right guard. With that said, Anthony Bradford, the current right guard, has seemingly improved over the last few weeks as well, according to Macdonald.
As for Saubert, he has missed the last six games with a calf injury. Saubert has seen most of his offensive snaps as a primary blocker rather than pass-catcher, with rookie Nick Kallerup taking over those snaps in the meantime. Saubert’s pending return is coming at a good time as well with Elijah Arroyo currently nursing an injury himself.
