Russell Wilson - QB - Seahawks

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Russell Wilson is a "million miles ahead" of where he was last year.

"We were talking about trying to throw the deep ball last year over guys’ outside shoulder; we’re just a million miles ahead of where we were," Carroll said. "He’s the kind of player that will affect other guys – he affects everyone around him – and hopefully that will help everyone play better and faster." In terms of the deep ball, Pro Football Focus credited Wilson with 949 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions on 64 passes traveling 20 yards or more in the air as a rookie.

Anthony McCoy - TE - Seahawks

Seahawks TE Anthony McCoy was carted off the field with an ankle injury Monday.

McCoy hurt the ankle coming out of a cut in 7-on-7 drills. The 2010 sixth-round pick has appeared in all 32 games over the last two seasons, catching 31 passes for 437 yards and three scores. An impressive athlete, McCoy can't afford to miss much time after the team drafted a similar player in Luke Willson.

Cliff Avril - DL - Seahawks

Seahawks DE Cliff Avril is sitting out OTAs with plantar fascia in his foot.

Avril has been dealing with the issue for four weeks, but he's still a "couple weeks" away from taking part in on-field drills. Per coach Pete Carroll, Avril will "run some" this week. He'll then need time to rest the foot and "wait it out." Avril is expected to be the Hawks' starting "Leo" pass rusher in Week 1.

Marshawn Lynch - RB - Seahawks

Marshawn Lynch did not report for the start of Seahawks OTAs Monday.

Coach Pete Carroll expressed no concern, reiterating that the workouts are "voluntary," even if attendance is strongly encouraged. Lynch is likely just training for the season on his own. Lynch does not have a bone to pick about his contract. He is owed a $7 million base salary and all the money is guaranteed.

Christine Michael - RB - Seahawks

Seahawks signed second-round RB Christine Michael to a four-year contract.

Whereas fellow Combine star Knile Davis' college game tape was thoroughly unimpressive, workout wonder Michael was outstanding on the field at Texas A&M. He possesses lateral and vertical explosion with hammer-dropping power. As good as Robert Turbin was as a rookie -- and he was excellent -- we wouldn't be surprised if Michael passed him on the depth chart this year. He's a better runner. At the moment, Turbin is better in pass protection.

Darren Fells - TE - Seahawks

Seahawks re-signed TE Darren Fells.

Fells was waived 12 days ago, but the Seahawks are bringing the former basketball player back for one more look-see. Fells is 6-foot-7 and 280 pounds.

Bruce Irvin - DL - Seahawks

NFL suspended Seahawks DE Bruce Irvin four games for violating the league's policy against performance-enhancing substances.

Irvin has no plans to appeal, admitting he took Adderall without a medical exemption. He'll participate in training camp and preseason, then be barred from all Seahawks activities until Week 5. Irvin, the 15th overall pick in last year's draft, registered eight sacks and a forced fumble as a nickel-rushing rookie. For the first month of the season, at least, Seattle is deep enough to withstand Irvin's loss after adding Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett to their pass-rushing corps.

Spencer Ware - RB - Seahawks

Seahawks signed sixth-round RB/FB Spencer Ware to a four-year contract.

Ware is a north-south runner with some bulk and toughness, and he's expected to spend the majority of his time at fullback with the Seahawks. We wouldn't expect him to see many carries outside of a few short-yardage situations.

Christine Michael - RB - Seahawks

Coach Pete Carroll expressed some reservations regarding second-round RB Christine Michael's pass protection.

As we see so often, blocking can be a stumbling block for rookie backs trying to climb the depth chart. ESPN's Mike Sando expects Robert Turbin to stick as Marshawn Lynch's primary backup. "[Michael] has not done as much pass protection work as we'd like," Carroll said. "When we looked at Robert last year, we felt the same way, but Robert came on really strong as a pass-blocker, so we hope to do the same thing with Christine." Michael remains a strong Dynasty stash as a more talented natural runner than Turbin.

Jesse Williams - DL - Seahawks

Seahawks fifth-round DL Jesse Williams will start off as a three-technique tackle.

Williams played both the five-technique and the nose at Alabama, but the Seahawks need him to help replace Alan Branch. Ideally, Williams will push Tony McDaniel for early-down run-stuffing duties.

Luke Willson - TE - Seahawks

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says fifth-round TE Luke Willson's 4.51 speed "certainly" shows up downfield.

Carroll said on Friday that Willson had been the "brightest spot" of Seahawks rookie minicamp. Willson is an extremely raw prospect, but a seam-stretcher for a team that's thin at tight end and works to create competition at every position. It's not outside the realm of possibility he'll earn a role on offense as a rookie.

Jerrod Johnson - QB - Seahawks

New Seahawks QB Jerrod Johnson has overhauled his throwing motion.

The 2011 undrafted free agent knows he's on his last NFL chance. Thus far, he's impressed coach Pete Carroll. "He can really gun the football down the field," Carroll said. "He's got a great presence in that he's such a big guy in the pocket. Totally different than our other guys." Johnson will get a fair shake at a roster spot with a team that preaches competition, but he's a longshot.

Luke Willson - TE - Seahawks

Seahawks fifth-round TE Luke Willson has been "standing out" at rookie minicamp.

GM John Schneider said Willson "tested" the second-best of all the tight end prospects in last month's draft, and the Seahawks view him as a multifaceted tight end whose 4.51 speed can make him a deep threat over the middle of the field. Coach Pete Carroll called Willson the "brightest spot" on Friday. He's someone to keep an eye on in dynasty formats.

Spencer Ware - RB - Seahawks

Coach Pete Carroll stated at rookie minicamp that the Seahawks will use sixth-rounder Spencer Ware at both tailback and fullback.

Ware's primary position will be fullback, but he reported at 218 pounds and plays with some violence, like a poor man's Marshawn Lynch. "He’s going to work at both," Carroll said. I want him to learn to play fullback for us and compete at that spot. We know he can run, he’s a really aggressive tough runner. We love that about him. So we are trying to transfer that nature to the fullback spot."

Jared Smith - G - Seahawks

Seahawks signed seventh-round DT/OG Jared Smith to a four-year contract.

Seahawks OL coach Tom Cable worked out Smith as an offensive lineman before the draft and liked what he saw. An obvious project, Smith played defensive tackle at New Hampshire and recorded four sacks with three kick blocks as a senior. He could help his chances by blocking a field goal or PAT in the preseason.
