The Seattle Seahawks began Week 2 of training camp on Monday with their first padded practice. When the pads come on, the intensity and physical nature of practice tends to ramp up, and usually by the end of the week it leads to the odd skirmish here and there. Nothing to report on the roughhousing front, but there was some rough news that was confirmed by Coach Mike Macdonald.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s get to the Day 5 recap!<\/p>\n
News<\/p>\n
Kenny McIntosh\u2019s season over, Seahawks sign DK Kaufman<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As expected, the Seahawks placed running back Kenny McIntosh on injured reserve after Mike Macdonald confirmed he tore his ACL in Saturday\u2019s practice. He\u2019ll have surgery on Tuesday and obviously his season is over. A real awful way for McIntosh\u2019s season to end before it even begins.<\/p>\n NC State rookie DK Kaufman was signed as McIntosh\u2019s replacement, switching over from defensive back to running back. He\u2019ll also factor in special teams as a kick returner.<\/p>\n Seahawks bring in five players for tryouts<\/strong><\/p>\n The NFL transaction wire says the Seahawks brought in five players for tryouts.<\/p>\n Martin and Texada are undrafted rookie defensive backs, Luketa spent four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Sapp has spent time with the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons, and Obada has the distinction of being the first player from the International Player Pathway program to make a 53-man roster. His backstory is as heartbreaking as it is amazing<\/a> that he\u2019s made it to the NFL. Obada is 33 years old and has been in the NFL in some capacity since 2015, recording 15 total sacks (although none since 2022).<\/p>\n Notes and Quotes<\/p>\n The rotation continues at center and right guard<\/strong><\/p>\n After a few days as credentialed media, former Field Gulls podcast host and current Seahawks Forever<\/a> podcast host Dan Viens was in attendance with fans at VMAC. Not every 11-on-11 session will be like this, as Mike Macdonald has indicated significant rotation at center and right guard, but Monday\u2019s practice predominantly featured Jalen Sundell over Christian Haynes and Anthony Bradford. <\/p>\n Full team 11-on-11 and the most-used OL combo today has been\u2026.<\/p>\n Cross, Zabel, Olu, SUNDELL, Lucas.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Viens (Seahawks Forever Podcast) (@SeahawksForever) July 28, 2025<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Jalen Milroe gets pick 6\u2019d by a familiar foe<\/strong><\/p>\n We had a rookie-on-rookie moment at camp. Third-round pick Jalen Milroe was intercepted by second-round pick Nick Emmanwori, a familiar foe given Alabama and South Carolina played each other last season. I\u2019m pretty sure this is the first pick-6 of camp for any Seahawks QB, and if it\u2019s going to happen, you\u2019d love to see a rookie make a big play even at the expense of another rookie.<\/p>\n Rookies Nick Emmanwori\u2014and Jalen Milroe\u2014learn how Mike Macdonald\u2019s #Seahawks<\/a> defensive schemes fool.<\/p>\n Emmanwori lined up on line as edge rusher for offense play off own goal line. QB Milroe doesn\u2019t notice him drop into coverage. Emmanwori picks off Milroe in flat for easy pick 6<\/p>\n \u2014 Gregg Bell (@gbellseattle) July 28, 2025<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Riq Woolen also picked off Sam Darnold, which is good news less because of the interception and more because Woolen was limping a bit earlier in practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ernest Jones IV rests, giving Drake Thomas an opportunity for first-team reps<\/strong><\/p>\n Drake Thomas was claimed off waivers two seasons ago after he was considered a surprise cut by the Las Vegas Raiders. Having played primarily on special teams, Thomas is the \u201cnext man up\u201d in the inside linebacker depth chart after Ernest Jones IV and Tyrice Knight.<\/p>\n With Jones out for personal reasons on Monday, Thomas essentially took Ernest\u2019s spot for the day.
