Any potential return is likely still months away, but there is becoming increasing reason to think that Jordan Morris could play again this year. The first real signs came last week when Morris was allowed to do some passing exercises with his teammates. Then, the Sounders put out a Tweet on Saturday in which Morris says his speed is already coming back.
On Monday, though, Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer gave perhaps the most optimistic report yet on Morris’ potential return from an offseason ACL injury. Schmetzer said that as recently as a few weeks ago, he would have said it was overly optimistic to expect to see Morris this year.
