Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, the former Miami Dolphins who agreed to a four-year (plus a void year), $110 million contract with the Raiders in free agency last season, has been let go with terminated vested veteran designation, which means he’s not subject to waivers.

The story runs a little bit deeper than that, though. Wilkins only played five games before [undergoing surgery on a...

News, notes, and quotes from Day 1 of Seahawks training camp

The Seahawks’ 2025 training camp kicked off on Wednesday at team headquarters in Renton. Here is a sampling of the day’s events.

We’re one step closer toward the return of Seattle Seahawks football for a 50th season.

Training camp kicked off at Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton on Wednesday, with fans in attendance watching the first of 10 public practices. The first few practices are not padded, so it’s sort of a ramping up process before we get to something closer to physical football, but there are nevertheless several news items to report from Day 1.

Mike Macdonald’s injury update on Uchenna Nwosu is not encouraging

Mike Macdonald’s injury update on Uchenna Nwosu is not encouraging

Don’t expect the Seahawks pass rusher back any time soon.

Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu had a strong first season in Seattle, earning himself a contract extension heading into the 2023 season. Unfortunately, injuries have resulted in him playing just 12 out of the last 34 regular season games, and it’s far from certain whether he’ll be available for the start of this regular season.

Nwosu is currently on the “physically unable to perform” list (PUP) after offseason knee surgery. John Schneider indicated back in March that [Nwosu’s timetable for recovery was uncertain and hinted at the possibility he...

Seahawks place Johnathan Hankins on non-football injury list

Thankfully, his injury doesn’t appear to be serious.

The Seattle Seahawks opened up training camp on Wednesday, albeit with one rotational defensive player unable to participate.

The NFL transaction wire confirmed that nose tackle Johnathan Hankins, who was brought back by Seattle this offseason on another one-year deal, was placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list. There’s no reason to panic unless he’s still on the list through the end of preseason, in which case he’d have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season. He can be activated off the injured list as long as...

Report: Former Seahawk believed to have torn ACL during training camp

Report: Former Seahawk believed to have torn ACL during training camp

Artie Burns tore an ACL during training camp with the Bears in 2020, and after he went down during practice Wednesday, initial reports indicate he has once again torn an ACL.

There is no question about the top of the depth chart at cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks, with 2023 first round pick Devon Witherspoon and 2022 fifth-round selection Riq Woolen the unquestioned starters heading into 2025.

However, during the offseason the Seahawks did overhaul much of the depth at the position behind those two. Gone are veterans Tre Brown and Artie Burns, who between them combined for nearly 1,469...
