After an injury-filled season that has decimated Seattle’s defense, the Seahawks finally have some good news on the injury front.
DeShawn Shead, who started every game at right cornerback in 2016, returned to practice Wednesday for the first time he suffered a torn left ACL in the Seahawks playoff loss to Atlanta in January.
Shead had surgery to repair his ACL about two weeks after the injury, but encountered some complications and – using Pete Carroll’s term – “plateaued” midway through his recovery. and This led to a second surgery in July.
“Six months into my recovery, I had to go in and clean up some scarring,” Shead said Wednesday.
