Over 20% Seahawks Rookies Injured At Training Camp Start

The Seattle Seahawks' 2025 training camp has started with notable developments and challenges within the rookie class. Defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald continues to enhance the skills of safeties, with players like Coby Bryant and D'Anthony Bell showing promising progress, though Bell faces stiff competition for roster spots. The rookie class, including 11 draft picks and 18 undrafted free agents, began acclimating early, but six rookies, mostly undrafted free agents, were placed on the non-football injury list, affecting their immediate participation. Wide receiver Tyrone Broden, an undrafted rookie, faces an uphill battle to secure a roster spot despite his size and ball skills, competing against veterans and other rookies. Complicating the camp dynamics, second-round picks Nick Emmanwori and Elijah Arroyo remain unsigned due to the ripple effect of guaranteed contracts set by other teams, preventing them from practicing and impacting their development. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald and the team express excitement for the season ahead amidst these roster and contract complexities.
