SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 6-5 · 1ST IN NFC WEST
6-5 · 1ST IN NFC WEST
Connor Williams - Finds new home Williams signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Williams suffered a torn ACL in December, but he passed a physical and began talking to teams July 24. The 27-year-old should be an upgrade for Seattle's offensive line and the favorite to be their new starting center in 2024.

Noah Fant - Exits practice early Fant left Tuesday's practice with an apparent foot injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Fant reportedly left midway through practice and didn't return. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald didn't speak with the media after the session to provide an update, so it remains to be seen if the injury will cost Fant any time beyond Tuesday. The 26-year-old is positioned for a larger role than he had last year, as fellow tight ends Colby Parkinson and Will Dissly signed with other teams this offseason, while Fant re-signed with Seattle on a two-year, $21 million deal ($11.49 million guaranteed at signing).

Seahawks QB Geno Smith returns to practice after missing a few days with knee, hip issues
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith returned to practice after missing a few days with knee and hip issuesAUGUST 5 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Geno Smith - Back at practice Monday Smith (knee/hip) is participating in practice Monday, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.
Impact Smith is throwing at practice in full pads, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. That constitutes the veteran signal-caller's first on-field activity since suffering knee and hip injuries last week, but medical examinations done last Thursday and Saturday didn't reveal a serious issue. The Seahawks' preseason opener is coming up on the road versus the Chargers on Saturday, but it remains to be seen whether Smith or backup Sam Howell will be considered to suit up.

Geno Smith - Likely back at practice next week Smith (knee) is expected to practice sometime next week, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Impact This was expected after imaging Friday revealed the veteran quarterback didn't sustain any significant injuries to his knee or hip. While the Seahawks will likely be cautious with their starting quarterback, it seems likely Smith will return to the practice field in some capacity earlier next week.

Jerome Baker - Dealing with hamstring injury Baker hasn't been participating in practice due to a hamstring injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Impact It's note quite clear when Baker suffered the injury, but head coach Mike Macdonald didn't think the veteran would be returning in short order. Expect Tyrel Dodson and Jon Rhattigan to continue seeing the bulk of the inside linebacker opportunities in Baker's absence.

Geno Smith - Testing sugge Smith isn't expected to miss time, as testing Thursday revealed no significant problems with his knee and hip, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact There was perhaps a brief moment of panic Thursday evening when Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that Smith would undergo testing for multiple issues. It now sounds like the QB may just be dealing with soreness in his knee and hip, rather than anything that would threaten his Week 1 availability. The Seahawks may nonetheless hold Smith out of practice temporarily, which would give Sam Howell a chance to work with the starting offense.

Geno Smith - Set to undergo imaging Coach Mike Macdonald relayed that Smith is slated to undergo imaging Thursday night to evaluate an unspecified issue, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site, Macdonald indicated that Smith is "working through a couple things,"which Dugar notes could be knee and/or hip issues. If Smith is forced to miss any time, Sam Howell would be next up for the team's QB reps in practice.

Kairee Robinson - Headed to Seattle The Seahawks signed Robinson to a contract Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Impact Robinson earned First-Team All-Mountain West honors in 2023 after rushing for 1,194 yards and 18 touchdowns on 170 carries in his final year at San Jose State. Ricky Person (undisclosed) was waived with an injury settlement in a corresponding move.

Mike Morris - Sits out with injury Seahawks coach Mike Mcdonald said Tuesday that Mike Morris did not practice due to a minor elbow injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Mcdonald added that Morris' injury was sustained during Monday's practice, though the issue is not expected to be anything serious. The 2023 fifth-round pick appeared in one game last season before undergoing a season-ending shoulder surgery in September. Morris will likely have to compete with Myles Adams and DeVere Levelston for a roster spot during this year's training camp.

Jake Bobo - Looking good for No. 4 WR spot Bobo seems to be solidifying his role as Seattle's No. 4 wide receiver, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune.
Impact Bobo made the team as an undrafted rookie last year, shining in the preseason and then getting playing time off the bench throughout the regular season. He drew targets on just 25 of his 148 routes, 16.9 percent, but took advantage of the limited opportunities with 19 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns. Bobo had 64.8 percent of his yardage in a three-game stretch Weeks 6-8, and the lack of production thereafter suggests he's probably headed for a depth role again, not to mention the difficulty of gaining ground on the trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
