The Super Bowl-champion Seahawks' training camp showcased a highly anticipated matchup between NFL offensive player of the year Jaxon Smith-Njigba and three-time Pro Bowl cornerback Witherspoon. During a goal-line drill, Witherspoon's tight coverage on Smith-Njigba resulted in a penalty, allowing a touchdown pass from Sam Darnold. This practice also saw promising plays from second-year tight end Elijah Arroyo, who caught two touchdown passes, demonstrating his potential in an offense expected to utilize tight ends more. Rookie Bud Clark received his first significant snaps with the starting defense, a moment he described as "amazing" as he adapted to the faster pace. Clark also recently reconnected with Seahawks legend Richard Sherman, an event captured by Hard Knocks cameras. Additionally, wide receiver Tory Horton displayed impressive progress in his return from injury, scoring two touchdowns in consecutive drives. Ernest Jones also returned to practice at middle linebacker, while other players like Anthony Bradford and Jadarian Price continued their participation with varying units.
