For the first time since training camp began in late July, the Seahawks took to the field on Wednesday. For now, Seattle will be limited to three-and-a-half hours a day in helmets and shells. On Monday, full padded practices can begin. With field work comes a wave of updates on who is playing where and with what unit. Here’s a summary of what we learned on day one of Seahawks camp.
John Ursua was off the reserve / COVID-19 list and on the field, after a false positive and two consecutive negative tests.
#Seahawks second year WR John Ursua is practicing, indicating that he is activated on the Reserve / COVID list- 19. KR do right now. In the special teams part of practice

After his physical passing to start training camp, Dissly worked on the field with his fellow tight ends, just 10 months after a season-ending Achilles injury.
Rookie Stephen Sullivan, who was announced as a wide receiver when drafted before Pete Carroll announced he would start at tight end, actually started there on Wednesday.
Carroll: Stephen Sullivan is now a TE. Keep him there. Looks like he fits. #Seahawks

Chris Carson, who is on his way for week 1 following a season-ending hip injury in December, did not take part in day one. Pete Carroll said it was for personal reasons.
Carroll says Chris Carson is absent for personal reasons. He is physically good.

The first look at the defense together provided an example of what it could look like in Week 1. Rasheem Green en Benson Mayowa manned the edges, with Bruce Irvin take part KJ Wright en Bobby Wagner by linebacker.
#Seahawks first-team defense in pursuit drill I looked at:
DL- Green, Mayowa, Reed, Ford
CB- Griffin, flowers
LB- Wagner, Wright, Irvin
S- Diggs, Adams– Ben Arthur (@benyarthur) August 12, 2020
Shaquem Griffin, who began his career with the Seattle linebackers before joining the field last season as a spark plug pass rusher, stayed on the defensive line to begin fielding.
Shaquem Griffin works with the defensive line at practice today. Imagine him jumping back and forth between DL / LB in camp, but Seattle liked what it saw of him as a pass rusher last season.

One of the central leagues in training camp this year, nickelback, saw a new first man in: Marquise Blair. Inside mentioned as a possibility inside, the security of the second year got its first appearance on Wednesday Quinton Dunbar not yet available.
See second-year safety Marquise Blair works as the first option for nickelback, as expected.

The News Tribune’s Gregg Bell offered a first look at a few new Seahawks.
Carroll told reporters that DunbarThe physical is scheduled for Friday, setting him on course for the start of padded practices.
Carroll: Dunbar’s physique is scheduled for Friday. Went through testing. #Seahawks

Darrell Taylor, who was placed on the NFI list to start camp, is not yet ready to start practicing.
Carroll on progress of rookie Darrell Taylor (on NFI): “He was not ready to go. There is no damage to his knee, he just needs to get back to the work he did.” Says he has had a good response to treatment so far. Could be a few weeks. Has operation in January.

The news is positive with another rookie, Colby Parkinson, who suffered a broken foot during the entire season.
Carroll: Parkinson’s is doing great – may have a chance to come back soon. Foot feels fine, no rest (from surgery) #Seahawks

After some doubt about Wright’s recovery from offseason shoulder surgery, he was 100 percent ahead of starting camp.
Carroll says that team made sure that KJ Wright (from shoulder surgery) could land on PUP to start camp, but so far he has returned well

A crucial update: Jamal Adams made Pete Carroll smile.
Carroll on Jamal Adams: Using a smile on my face. Really sharp. Really competitive. Really makes – wants to know all the details. Want to be taught, corrected and coached. A unique focus that some great players we have really shown. He’s the real deal. #Seahawks

Sophomore runner Travis Homer received a positive review from Carroll. The former Hurricane was put into service late last season and performed well.
Carroll: Homer had a really good finish to our season. Great year on special teams, but when he got a chance to play late in the year, he was great. Unusual offseason. He will help us at the RB place. Large perimeter speed. #Seahawks
– Aaron Levine (@ AaronQ13Fox) August 12, 2020
Homer’s colleague Miami product, DeeJay Dallas, will also be in the mix of passing in 2020 and Carroll also spoke positively about him.
Carroll: DeeJay Dallas made a really good first impression. Breed. Envious to see what he can do. #Seahawks
