A look at some stories from the last week that Cardinals fans should know about the NFC West rival Seahawks.
We are 13 weeks from Week 1’s Sunday games and done with another week of the NFL offseason. That means we take some time to check in with the Arizona Cardinals‘ NFC West rivals — the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.
What is new with the Seahawks?
Below are a few stories from the last week for Cardinals fans to know.
First look at first-team OL in OTAs
The Cardinals don’t allow reporters to reveal anything about which players are running with which teams or what the practice rotations look like, but the Seahawks do. Their first-team offensive line looks like this right now, from left tackle to right tackle — Charles Cross, Grey Zabel, Olu Oluwatimi, Christian Haynes, Abe Lucas
Darnold up and down at OTAs
The Seahawks gambled big on Sam Darnold after his one good season with the Vikings. In his first offseason in Seattle, he was up and down in practices at OTAs.
LB Jones progressing from offseason surgery
LB Ernest Jones re-signed with the team and had offseason knee surgery. But he is making progress. While he has not done team drills in OTAs, he has been participating in walkthroughs and individual drills.
100% attendance
OTAs are voluntary, but Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald apparently has his players believing in the offseason work. All 90 players on the roster have been in attendance voluntary OTAs.
Rookie QB with great work ethic
The Seahawks drafted quarterback Jalen Milroe this year. They aren’t putting a lot on his plate yet, but Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has great things to say about how Milroe is working.
