The Seahawks returned Monday afternoon to the practice field at the VMAC following their bye week with the same 53-man roster they had when they left a week ago.
Not that all of the same 53 players were on the field.
Left guard Luke Joeckel, as had been expected, had arthroscopic surgery on his knee last Thursday leaving Seattle with nine active offensive linemen taking part in Monday’s practice.
It’s unclear exactly how long Joeckel will be out though it’s expected he for sure will miss Sunday’s game against the Giants in New York. Even aside from Joeckel’s surgery there has been much conjecture about Seattle adding to its offensive line, specifically potentially signing free agent Branden Albert, who visited last Monday.
