Wright, the longest tenured player of the Seahawks, had shoulder surgery in the offseason and there were some concerns that he would not be ready for the start of camp, but Wright was there on his usual weak linebacker spot next to Bobby Wagner on Wednesday .
“It’s a wonderful comeback,” said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. “He’s weird to go. We expected he could probably go on (not to do the physical list), he knew his physique with flying colors. We’ll still respect him and take care of him, but he’s in great shape. form. “
Dissly, who picked up his last Achilles last October, was another potential candidate from the PUP list that went into the offseasons, but he also went beyond his physical and was on the field pick of Russell Wilson.
Ursua, meanwhile, placed the required two negative COVID-19 tests after a positive that put him on the reserve list over the weekend, and Carroll confirmed that means he could be back with the team with the initial result count as a false one. positive.
Not present Wednesday was Chris Carson running back, though that was not thanks to the hip injury that shortened his 2019 season, but rather a family problem that brought him back home.
“Chris had some family weddings going on that he had to take care of,” Carroll said. “Our hearts go out to Chris, he’s going through some really big stuff with family members he cares for and cares for. He’s fine and all that, it has nothing to do with Chris physically or anything, but he needs to take care of this on this I’m not sure how many more days it’s going to take before he takes care of all that business, but they’re trying to find it all, and it’s home too, so he’s a way away. to work out, and we are in full support of what he needs to do to make this happen. “
Also not practicing for now is cornerback Quinton Dunbar, who came off the commissioner’s exemption list earlier this week but still needs to continue with more COVID-19 tests before he can take his physical Friday and then make a comeback to fieldwork.
When Dunbar, who was acquired in an offseason deal with Washington, is able to go, Carroll is excited to see what he can add to the continuation: “He’s a good footballer. He’s a playful man, very creative, really good consistency over his years, he’s good size, really good tackler – I think he did not miss a tackle last year or something crazy like that.That he just adds to the competition should make us better. He’s going to put pressure on our boys to act once he’s in action, he’s a way behind now because he’s missing out this time, and we need to make sure he’s in good shape, start him off well, but very competitive player. We’re just trying to get a little bit better in a lot of places, and he might help us do that. “
Darrell Taylor, second round, was present at Wednesday’s practice, but the defensive end has yet to attend as he continues to recover from the leg injury he suffered through last season, one that led to operation after his final season in Tennessee.
“We need to see,” Carroll said. “He was not ready to go. There is no damage to his knee, he just needs to get back from the work he did. I’m not sure how long it will take. He has done some treatments and things for a while. week to pack and all that, he got a good response because of it. I hope we know in a few weeks he’s ready to go back in and go in. They’ve working with him right now – he’s dying to get back to come and all – but it’s just not quite right. So we just have to take our time and make sure he’s back once, he’s back forever. “
Fellow 2020 draft pick Colby Parkinson was also sidelined on Wednesday due to a foot injury sustained during the offseason, but the tight end from Stanford could be close to a return.
“He’s doing great,” Carroll said. “He’s ripping back here, he can have a chance to get out here pretty quickly. He’s making really good progress, his foot feels fine.”
