Receiving positive news on their injured quarterback, the Seahawks hope Smith can make a quick turnaround and be ready to practice by the middle of the week.
RENTON, Wash. - After undergoing additional tests on his injured knee, the Seattle Seahawks hope starting quarterback Geno Smith will be able to practice this week and play against the Minnesota Vikings in a critical Week 16 home contest.
"We’re fortunate. A lot of positive, optimistic signs coming out of the tests," Macdonald said. "Geno’s a beast, man. He’s in here working out in the morning, working through it. I know he’s still feeling it, but this guy’s tough as nails." Moments later, Smith limped out of the tunnel and back to the sideline, briefly putting on his helmet as if he planned to come back in the game. But after testing out his leg, he wasn't able to go and Howell finished the contest, struggling while completing five out of 14 passes for 24 yards and a telegraphed interception to Cooper.
"I'd say I'm optimistic he'll get most of the snaps," Macdonald said, later indicating that he's confident Smith will be able to practice at least in limited fashion on Wednesday.
