Seahawks 2023 training camp: 4 takeaways from Sunday’s practice

The Seattle Seahawks held another training camp practice yesterday.

Here are some takeaways from the beat reporters who were on-site at the VMAC in Renton.

7 to 14 connection working

Starting quarterback Geno Smith and star wide receiver DK Metcalf were reported to be locked in during the team blitz period, hooking up for a couple of long touchdowns – including one from the slot.

Other observers called it the best practice of training camp so far for Smith.

S Jonathan Sutherland gets a turn at nickel

With No. 5 overall pick Devon Witherspoon sidelined by a hamstring injury again, safety Jonathan Sutherland got a long run with the first-team defense at the nickel/slot position.

Meanwhile, last year’s starter at nickel – Coby Bryant – appears to be settling in as a full-time safety.

A vet day for Bobby Wagner

As for the captain of the defense, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner got a veteran’s day off from practice. With backup Jon Rhattigan also out, Nick Bellore had to put in some reps at linebacker.

Devin Bush is back

After getting one day off to rest what head coach Pete Carroll called a swollen knee, linebacker Devin Bush was back on the field yesterday.

With Jordyn Brooks sidelined by his ACL injury, Bush projects as the team’s starter next to Bobby Wagner once the season begins.
