The Seattle Seahawks have officially kicked off their 2025 training camp, though not without some concerns. Veteran defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins has been placed on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list due to a back issue. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald expressed optimism regarding Hankins' long-term health, indicating that the player should recover well. Hankins had a notable performance during the 2024 season, participating in all 17 games, starting in eight, and contributing significantly to the team's defense with 30 tackles, one sack, and an interception.

In addition to Hankins' situation, cornerback Shaquill Griffin was notably absent from practice due to illness. As the Seahawks prepare for the upcoming regular season, strong attendance and focus on player health will be key as they look to improve on last season's performance.
