Ziggy Ansah returns to practice and ‘is ready to battle,’ says coach Pete Carroll

RENTON — This hasn’t exactly been the path the Seahawks laid out for Ziggy Ansah’s return to the field, a pesky groin injury having gotten in the way.

But with 12 days to go to the regular season, Ansah was back on the practice field Tuesday, and coach Pete Carroll said he thinks that puts Ansah on track to play against the Bengals on Sept.8.

Ansah was the team’s marquee free agent signing, inking a one-year deal worth up to $9 million, though with $3 million in incentives tied to playing time after he had shoulder surgery last year to repair a torn labrum (specifically, Ansah gets $93,750 for every game he is on the 53-man roster, and $93,750 more for every game he is on the 46-man roster).
