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, fully padded workouts can begin. Fieldwork results in a wave of updates on who is playing where and with which unit. Here’s a recap of what we learned on day one of the Seahawks’ camp.
John ursua was off the reserve / COVID-19 list and in the field, after one false positive and two consecutive negative tests.
#Seahawks Second-year WR John Ursua is practicing, indicating he’s been activated off reserve / COVID-19 list. Doing KR right now. In the special teams part of the practice

After changing his physique to start training camp, Dissly was on the pitch to work with his tight comrades, barely 10 months after an Achilles injury that ended the season.
Rookie Stephen Sullivan, who was announced as a wide receiver in the draft before Pete Carroll clarified he would start on a tight end, effectively started there on Wednesday.
Carroll: Stephen Sullivan is now TE. Keep it there. Looks like he’s fine. #Seahawks

Chris Carson, who is on track for Week 1 after a hip injury that ended the season in December, was missing out on day one. Pete Carroll said it was for personal reasons.

The first look at the defense provided an example of what it might look like in Week 1. Rasheem Green and Benson mayowa inhabited the edges, with Bruce irvin join KJ Wright and Bobby wagner to linebacker.
#Seahawks defense of the first team during the pursuit exercise I watched:
DL- Vert, Mayowa, Reed, Ford
CB- Griffin, Flowers
LB- Wagner, Wright, Irvin
S- Diggs, Adams– Ben Arthur (Benyarthur) Aug 12, 2020
Shaquem griffin, who started his career with the Seattle linebackers before taking the field as a spark-plug passer at the end of last season, stayed with the defensive line to begin fieldwork.
Shaquem Griffin is working with the defensive line in practice today. Imagine bouncing between DL / LB at camp, but Seattle liked what he saw in him as a passer last season.

Darrell taylor, who was placed on the NFI list to start the camp, is not yet ready to start practicing.
Carroll on the progress of rookie Darrell Taylor (on NFI): “He wasn’t ready to go. There’s no damage to the knee, he just has to get back to the job he was doing.” Says he has had a good response to treatment so far. It could take a few weeks. Underwent surgery in January.

The news is more positive with another recruit, Colby Parkinson, who suffered a broken foot during the offseason.

A crucial update: Jamal Adams makes Pete Carroll smile.
Carroll on Jamal Adams: Brings a smile to my face. Really sharp. Really competitive. Really cares – wants to know all the details. Wants to be taught, corrected and coached. A unique goal that some great players have really demonstrated. This is the real deal. #Seahawks

Sophomore Runner Travis Homer received a positive review from Carroll. The former Hurricane went into service at the end of last season and has performed well.
Carroll: Homer ended our season really well. Excellent year in special teams, but when he got the chance to play at the end of the year he was awesome. Incredible offseason. He will help us on the RB spot. High perimeter speed. #Seahawks

Homer product of Miami, DeeJay Dallas, will also be in the mix on transmissions in 2020 and Carroll has spoken positively about him as well.
