The Seattle Seahawks returned to the apply subject after taking Wednesday off. Thursday marked the primary padded apply of coaching camp, which suggests the depth can ramp up and the texture of actual soccer is getting nearer. Followers gained’t get a glimpse of padded reps till Friday, so media-only accounts must suffice for right this moment.
Let’s undergo the notable occasions from Day 5 of Seahawks coaching camp!
Seahawks coaching camp information and notes
Deven Jap returns to apply
Seahawks rookie nostril deal with Deven Jap had been largely absent from obligatory minicamp and OTAs because of harm, and began this 12 months on the PUP listing. He handed a bodily on Thursday and is all good to go, which suggests simply Nick Emmanwori and Zach Charbonnet are nonetheless on PUP.
Mike Macdonald: Tyrice Knight having an amazing coaching camp
After taking up as a midseason starter as a rookie, Tyrice Knight’s harm points in 2025 led to some early season struggles earlier than Drake Thomas took over his beginning job. The third-year participant out of UTEP has began camp nicely sufficient for Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald to sing his praises.
“Tyrice has had a great camp. He really has. He’s done a great job. There’s ways to get him out there. That’s a great example of how you don’t need to be counting the people ahead of you and where do I stand in depth chart and all this. Just put my best foot forward and let us figure out how to get you on the field. Put that burden on the coaches to make sure that we got the best guys out there. He’s definitely applying pressure right now, which is really great.”
Mike Macdonald addresses at present injured Seahawks gamers
The likes of Jake Bobo and Julian Neal have been absent from current practices because of harm. It doesn’t feels like Mike Macdonald is just too involved about any of the accidents.
“Nothing long term. Just a couple of things they’re working through, camp type of stuff. It’s a bummer, but we will get them back soon.”
Brandon Pili, Jamie Sheriff, and Jared Ivey have been new non-participants on Thursday, and equally there doesn’t appear to be motive to sound the alarm bells.
“Well, they’re dealing with some things. Some training camp things, but they’ll be back. Nothing crazy going on right now, just some training camp stuff.”
Nick Emmanwori attends apply from the sidelines
Seattle’s star defensive again is on the mend after ankle surgical procedure, which is why he’s on PUP. Whereas it’s been reported that it gained’t probably be a long-term absence for Emmanwori, Coach Macdonald is taking part in it near the vest so far as a timetable for his return.
“He’s in an adverse situation. He’s attacking it. That’s all you can ask him to do. He’s made a lot of progress, which is exciting. It’s one of these things where you don’t want to put a timetable on it because you don’t want to limit him but just go rip it every day. We got great people surrounded by him and let’s go see where we get. He’s returned so far. He’s done a great job. It’s not going to be easy, but he’s just the man for the job.”
Andre Fuller, Michael Dansby stage up in pads
Whereas Julian Neal didn’t apply, Seattle’s different two rookie corners did take part. Dansby has raised eyebrows along with his ball abilities and normal performances in 1-on-1s and in staff reps. Right here’s what Coach Macdonald needed to say about their first apply in pads.
“To see them make plays, playing football, it’s great. It’s an indication of the work they have put in. They’ve done a great job up to this point. They’re rookies, so they are swimming a little bit schematically, but that’s as expected, and they just got to kind of work through the fog until we start making plays, like today, and gain more confidence and just keep rolling.”
Sam Darnold on having operating backs extra concerned as receivers
For the primary time throughout camp, Sam Darnold had a media availability session. The Seahawks’ second-year beginning quarterback was requested about his secure of operating backs and the advantages of getting them as authentic receiving threats.
“I think it helps the quarterback a ton because it does present a different problem for the defense. Sometimes the defense assumes, especially on third down, that the running back’s going to stay in and protect so they can build their pressures off of that. But when you’re getting five guys out on a route and you’re in scat protection, sometimes you’ve got to throw hot, and the defense is going to make it hot. If you get the protections right, you’re not hot, and the running back’s out on a route, sometimes that’s a mismatch with a linebacker, especially with a guy like [Jadarian Price] or George [Holani]. We’ve got a ton of backs in the backfield this year that can make linebackers and safeties miss. So, it’s going to be really fun to see what those guys can do coming out of the backfield.”
O-line vs. D-line will get extra aggressive
You like to see the give-and-take. And also you like to examine each of these items concerning Rylie Mills and Anthony Bradford… particularly Mills.
George Holani exhibits off his go safety chops
It’s anticipated that third-year Seahawks operating again George Holani will function extra within the offense. One of many causes? His go safety.
Some acquainted work for Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts was a good finish in school and a fullback within the NFL. With Brian Fleury as offensive coordinator, I’d anticipate Ouzts having extra of a job exterior of being an I-formation fullback.
As famous earlier, followers return to apply on Friday, July 31 at 1 pm PT.
