The Seattle Seahawks have been preparing for their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals, and quarterback Geno Smith has been participating in the team’s walk-throughs in a limited capacity. Smith, who signed with the Seahawks in the offseason, has been dealing with a knee injury that has kept him out of action since Week 12.
Smith was able to take part in some of the drills during the walk-throughs, but was limited in his participation. He was seen throwing some passes and running some routes, but was not taking part in any full-team drills. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Smith is still working his way back from the injury and is not yet ready to take part in full practices.
The Seahawks have been relying on backup quarterback Russell Wilson to lead the offense in Smith’s absence. Wilson has been playing well, leading the team to a 5-2 record since Smith’s injury. With Smith’s return still uncertain, Wilson will likely continue to be the starter for the foreseeable future.
Smith’s return could be a welcome addition to the Seahawks’ offense. He has shown flashes of potential in his limited action this season, completing 64 percent of his passes for 1,094 yards and five touchdowns. If he can get back to full health, he could provide a spark to the offense and help the team make a deep playoff run.
For now, Smith will continue to work his way back from his injury and participate in limited capacity during the team’s walk-throughs. It remains to be seen when he will be able to return to full action, but his return could be a major boost for the Seahawks as they look to make a run in the playoffs.
