Mandatory minicamp got underway for the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday, and head coach Pete Carroll provided some updates on a few players who were not there for health reasons.
Fifth-round rookie linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven only did walkthroughts due to sports hernia surgery that he underwent six weeks ago. Carroll added that he’s currently working on his conditioning. Also out were second-round safety Marquise Blair and sixth-round running back Travis Homer, both of whom have been dealing with hamstring strains. Seattle’s safety pairing in Blair’s absence was Tedric Thompson (FS) and Shalom Luani (SS).
As for the non-rookies, left guard Mike Iupati wasn’t in action because of a turned foot, so he was given a rest.
