SEATTLE -- Russell Wilson was as blunt as he's ever been earlier this offseason when he put public pressure on the Seattle Seahawks to beef up his pass-protection. With Pro Bowl left tackle Duane Brown not practicing as he seeks a new deal, Wilson is again speaking candidly about the importance of getting his best offensive lineman back on the field.
In his first comments to Seattle-area reporters since the start of training camp, Wilson made no attempt to downplay Brown's continued absence.
"Not having Duane Brown out there is a pretty significant deal because I think he's one of the best left tackles in the game, there's no arguing it," Wilson said Sunday after the Seahawks' mock game at Lumen Field.
