With the Blue Angels within the skies as soon as once more forward of Seafair weekend, the Seattle Seahawks wrapped up their ninth follow of 2024 coaching camp. There’s not an excessive amount of to report, however the prevailing story remains to be the well being of Geno Smith. Right here’s your Friday recap!
Information
Geno Smith harm information is constructive, however he’s nonetheless not practising
The massive story was the excellent news regarding quarterback Geno Smith’s well being, which reportedly is not going to contain him lacking any important time after tweaking his hip and knee on Tuesday. Nonetheless, Smith was nonetheless held off form on Friday, and with no Mike Macdonald media scrum scheduled, we’re nonetheless none the wiser so far as when Geno will return. It’s price noting that the Seattle Occasions reported that Smith says the outcomes haven’t come again on Smith’s hip but, though his knee was high quality. That’s totally different from what Adam Schefter reported.
If I might guess, that is a type of conditions the place except Smith’s hip imaging comes again disastrous, there may be an additional precaution taken for preseason that will not be taken for the common season. In different phrases, no matter is ailing Smith could not stop him from taking part in within the common season (though he’d be on the harm report), however throughout camp and preseason there’s no must take any unnecessary dangers.
A number of veterans sit out Friday
Along with Smith, who at the very least signed autographs for followers however in any other case didn’t go well with up for follow, there have been just a few one other notable absences. Dre’Mont Jones stays sidelined with a minor hamstring situation, cornerback Mike Jackson Sr. was dinged earlier within the week and he didn’t follow (harm unspecified), and edge rusher Darrell Taylor is out with a “lower-body harm.” I see we’re going the NHL route with that kind of vagueness.
Edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu and defensive deal with Jarran Reed rested. Neither one in every of them had any reported harm so it’s presumably a time without work for each of them.
Notes
Julian Love will get one other decide
Contemporary off a contract extension, Julian Love has been one of many defensive stars of coaching camp. Having gotten Geno Smith twice in earlier practices, it was Sam Howell’s flip to get picked by the person who led the crew in interceptions final season.
The opposite INT got here from undrafted linebacker Devin Richardson, who bought third-string quarterback P.J. Walker.
Julian Love picked a Howell deep ball supposed for DK Metcalf. That was Love’s third interception of camp. UDFA LB Devin Richardson (Washington State) had the opposite INT, choosing off an over-the-middle throw from P.J. Walker.

Sam Howell camp replace
After a tough few days for accuracy and choices, Howell gave the impression to be discovering his footing and groove whether or not with the first- or second-team offense. In response to Gregg Bell, the inconsistent accuracy points are nonetheless prevalent.
After 9 practices of #Seahawks coaching camp, together with the final 3 as QB1 with Geno Smith out injured (knee, hip), Sam Howell’s accuracy stays out-of-nowhere off at occasions. Typically string of strong and superb throws–then a WAY overthrown go. By 5+ yards.

One other thrilling thriller scenario
Backed up at their very own 1, the Seahawks offense needed to get a primary all the way down to “win” the scenario and get out of horrible subject place. The protection bought the W. Up to now the protection has gained two of the three simulated scenario drills.
Right now’s thriller scenario was first crew offense at its personal 1 yard line needing a primary all the way down to “win” the drill.
They went 3-and-out: quick run, throwaway, QB scramble. Protection wins.

Extra Bobo!
Not way more to be stated. We don’t have a spotlight so simply use your creativeness.
#MoreBobo simply had a pleasant sideline catch of the toe faucet selection. A type of I’d guess the crew posts later. A slow-mo would look very cool as a result of the defender was proper there. PJ Walker on the throw.

Don’t overlook about Carlton Johnson
The UDFA from Fresno State was energetic on Friday. It’s a remarkably aggressive and deep place for the Seahawks, and Johnson will look to take advantage of his probabilities.
Very energetic day for rookie nook Carlton Johnson. A number of performs on the ball right now, together with at the very least 2 ultimately zone.

Rayshawn Jenkins talks about upcoming mock recreation at Lumen Subject
From his media availability session:
“I haven’t been again right here since, I need to say three years in the past, so it’s going to be cool to be on the opposite facet. So I’m positively wanting ahead to it, simply attending to know the atmosphere and simply feeling the power that Lumen (Subject) comes with.”
He additionally had excessive reward for cornerback Devon Witherspoon.
“I really feel like the highest of his route—when receivers get into the highest of their route—he’s very sticky on the prime. He doesn’t actually enable an excessive amount of separation, and Spoon (Devon Witherspoon) isn’t the largest, however he acts like he’s the largest when he’s on the market in order that’s what’s impressed me essentially the most about him.”
I’m scripting this up from simply outdoors of Downtown Seattle and I’ll be at Lumen Subject on Saturday for the mock recreation/scrimmage. There will likely be a write-up within the night together with some images and anything I can share.
