The Seattle Seahawks officially kicked off training camp under new head coach Mike Macdonald at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Notably absent were familiar faces like Pete Carroll and Bobby Wagner, marking a new chapter for the team.Macdonald, known for leading the top-ranked Ravens defense last season, wasted no time asserting his influence. His defensive vision was on display as he oversaw players like cornerbacks Riq Woolen and Devin Witherspoon, alongside defensive tackle Leonard Williams, who recently signed a three-year deal worth over $21 million.
The battle for the backup quarterback position intensified between second-year QB Sam Howell and veteran P.J. Walker. Howell took most reps with the second team, signaling his current edge over Walker, who remains a seasoned contender battling for relevance in the lineup.Starting tackle Abraham Lucas was absent due to injury, joining several players on the physically unable to perform list. Veteran George Fant stepped in admirably in Lucas's absence during the initial scrimmage session.
