Quarterback Russell Wilson and a host of other Seahawks put on their full uniforms and went through warmups, as they usually do, before Thursday’s preseason opener against Denver.
And then, as expected, Wilson and most of the rest of Seattle’s starters watched from the sidelines as the Seahawks unveiled lineups featuring largely backups.
Wilson remained in uniform and led the team out of the tunnel before the game but did not play as the starting offense contained just two players who currently project as starters in the team’s base offense — right tackle Germain Ifedi and center Justin Britt.
