Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald had another positive update on quarterback Geno Smith during his Wednesday press conference.
Macdonald told reporters that Smith participated in walk-through and will participate in the day’s practice.
“Geno feels good,” Macdonald said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “We’ll see how many reps [he gets]. We have a plan for practice, we’ll see how it kind of alters his practice reps, but he’ll be out there for a significant capacity today. We’ll see how many reps he takes.”
Smith suffered a right knee injury during Sunday night’s loss to the Packers, with Sam Howell finishing the game at QB.
Smith has started every game this season, completing 70 percent of his passes for 3,623 yards with 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Macdonald also noted that the team is “optimistic” about running back Kenneth Walker’s availability.
“We’ll see about how many reps today, but [he] did walk-through,” Macdonald said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN. “We’ll probably ramp it up a little bit more tomorrow.”
The Seahawks’ full injury report will be released later on Wednesday.
