Throughout the offseason, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has expressed optimism that tight end Jimmy Graham will be able to return and contribute to the offense in 2016.
Graham sustained a ruptured patellar tendon in a Nov. 29 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He did some light jogging and caught passes from Russell Wilson before practices during the spring. Carroll said that the team won't rush Graham during training camp, but he expects the tight end to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, barring unforeseeable issues.
