The Seahawks received some good news when Geno Smith was a full practice participant during the teams Wednesday practice. Smith injured his knee in the team’s Sunday night 30-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Smith sustained the injury in the third quarter and did not return. During his pre-practice press conference with the media, head coach Mike Macdonald was optimistic that Smith would take part in the team’s first practice of the week.
“ Did a walkthrough today, we’ll see how many reps, we’ve got a plan for practice,’ and we’ll see how it kind of alters his practice starts to declare, but he’ll be out there for a significant capacity today. We’ll see how many reps he takes ,” said Macdonald
It is unclear how many reps Smith took in practice. The injury report listed Smith as a full practice participant.
LONG INJURY LIST
The news was not so good for running backs Zach Charbonnet (oblique) and Ken Walker III ( calf). Neither of them participated in Wednesday’s practice. Macdonald had indicated that Walker III would practice on Thursday. The Wednesday practice list is always long because players are given veteran rest days. Center Olu Oluwatimi was also injured in the Green Bay game and did not practice on Wednesday. Macdonald was optimistic that Oluwatimi would participate in Thursday’s practice session.
“Might not see him today in full capacity, but should be out there tomorrow rocking and rolling,” said Macdonald
WELL DISCIPLINED AND EFFICIENT OFFENSE
Up next for the Seahawks is a 12-2 Minnesota Vikings team on a seven-game win streak. The Vikings offense is ranked 12th overall, averaging 349 yards per game. Their defense allows 334 yards per game, which is 13th in the league. The Vikings are a well-balanced team that makes few mistakes. If the Seahawks are to have a chance against the Vikings, they will need to win the early downs to slow down the Vikings 8th ranked pass offense led by quarterback Sam Donald, running back Aaron Jones, and wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
“Well, you need to marry the run and the pass and be able to stop the actions and have people attached to people 20-30 yards down the field, but also handle check downs and the play-action game,” said Macdonald. “And then, okay, if you’re going to live in one structure, how do you stop the run, and how do you build the plan?
