Seahawks

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said the team does not want to rush DE Ezekiel Ansah as he continues to recover from a torn patella tendon.

“We are just going to ease our way into these days and see how he can handle the work, don’t want to rush it,” said Carroll, via ProFootballTalk. “We thought all along that it would probably be all the way through camp. So, the fact that he isn’t on PUP now and he’s going to get in work and be in walkthroughs today so he can actively be involved.”

As for Ansah not being on the PUP list despite being limited in practice, Carroll said his “shoulder is healed” and is making sure Ansah’s ready for the regular season. 

“His shoulder is healed, it’s solid,” said Carroll. “They did all of the retesting again, just in the last couple days, to ensure that. He’s got a little bit of soreness in the lifting coming back, but really nothing to hold him back. It’s just a matter of keep getting stronger and making sure it’s really secure before we go. He’s bench pressing and doing the dumbbells and all that kind of stuff. He’s got good strength, he’ll get better strength. He came back at 270, he was 250 something when he came back in the springtime. He’s really built back up and that’s about his playing weight right in there. We are really looking forward to him being a big factor.”
