Stars missing for various reasons as Seahawks open OTAs (The Associated Press)

RENTON, Wash. (AP) -- Russell Wilson, Jimmy Graham and Cliff Avril were absent for personal reasons. Michael Bennett and Bruce Irvin were just absent.

And Marshawn Lynch? Well, no one expected him around anyway.

The Seattle Seahawks began on-field organized team activities Tuesday with a number of their biggest stars missing.

Avril posted on Instagram about the death of his father, while Graham was attending the funeral of his manager in Miami. Graham was joined by Wilson and Seahawks executive Mo Kelly at the funeral.
