An update on Seattle Seahawks injury news as minicamp begins
Here’s an update on some injury-related news and notes after the Seattle Seahawks opened their three-day mandatory minicamp on Tuesday afternoon. All injured players were in attendance.
Seahawks to have rare joint practices with another NFL team
• Starting right tackle Abraham Lucas, who missed 11 games last season with a knee injury, continues to rehab from January knee surgery. After an OTA practice last month, head coach Mike Macdonald said “it’s hard to tell” how the rehab process is coming along, but that they are shooting for a return by training camp in late July. “He’s working his tail off, I can tell you that,” Macdonald said Tuesday.
• Right guard Anthony Bradford, who started 10 games as a rookie last season, remains out after tweaking his ankle in the first OTA practice on May 20.
• Projected starting inside linebacker Jerome Baker, a free-agent signing who started the past six seasons for the Miami Dolphins, remains sidelined. The 27-year-old had offseason wrist surgery and is working through a lower-body injury. Macdonald said Tuesday that they are aiming for a return by training camp.
• Projected starting inside linebacker Tyrel Dodson, a free-agent signing who started 10 games for the Buffalo Bills last season, also remains out with an undisclosed injury. Similar to Baker, Macdonald said they are targeting a return by training camp.
• Second-year nose tackle Cameron Young, a 2023 fourth-round pick from Mississippi State, was out Tuesday with a lower-body injury, according to Macdonald. Macdonald said “we’ll probably look at him early in camp.” Young had 18 tackles in 16 games last season, including one start.
• Veteran punter Michael Dickson was not at practice because he’s getting married in Hawaii, Macdonald said.
The O-line
With Lucas and Bradford out, the Seahawks’ first-team offensive line on Tuesday was left tackle Charles Cross, veteran left guard Laken Tomlinson, second-year center Olu Oluwatimi, second-year right guard McClendon Curtis and veteran right tackle George Fant. Those same five also made up the first-team unit during the three OTA practices that were open to the media. Of those five, only Cross started more than one game for Seattle last season. Tomlinson and Fant were both free-agent signings this offseason, while Oluwatimi and Curtis have a combined one start between them.
The middle linebackers
With Baker and Dodson out, Jon Rhattigan and Patrick O’Connell have taken the first-team reps this offseason. Rhattigan, a fourth-year former undrafted free agent out of Army who primarily played on special teams last season, snagged an interception on a pass over the middle by Geno Smith on Tuesday. O’Connell, a second-year former undrafted free agent out of Montana, did not play a defensive snap last season.

SEATTLE — Homestead Community Land Trust celebrated the completion of Nest, a new mixed-income condominium community on Seattle’s Phinney Ridge, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
The development creates 30 homeownership opportunities in one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods, including 19 permanently affordable homes and 11 market-rate homes.

Located at 6109 Phinney Ave. N., Nest is Homestead’s second condominium development on Phinney Ridge and the latest addition to its portfolio of permanently affordable homeownership communities.
Residents will have walkable access to neighborhood businesses, transit, and parks, as well as views of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
Homes designated for income-qualified households are expected to be priced between approximately $250,000 and $335,000, compared with Seattle’s median condominium price of about $600,000.
Speakers at the ribbon-cutting ceremony included Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, state Sen. Emily Alvarado, Nicole Vallestero-Soper, director of policy and innovation for Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and Homestead homeowner Jessica Garcia-Ortiz.
The project was developed on a site assembled from a former Seattle City Light property made available through the City of Seattle for affordable homeownership and an adjacent parcel acquired by Homestead.
The development highlights how public land, public investment, and community partnerships can be used to create long-term homeownership opportunities in high-cost neighborhoods.
Nest includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, rooftop community space, and all-electric, fossil-fuel-free construction.
The homes feature heat pumps, induction ranges, and modern building systems designed to reduce environmental impact and operating costs.
The development also incorporates environmentally sustainable materials and bio-based, PVC-free flooring that is cradle-to-grave certified carbon neutral.
The development was made possible in part through the transfer of a former Seattle City Light property for permanently affordable homeownership, advancing the use of public land to support housing affordability in Seattle.
Police are talking with a person who reported being a victim of a street robbery late tonight at or near California SW and SW Raymond.
