All the Seahawks news you might have missed this week.

Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's going on out there and any news you might have missed, about your Seattle Seahawks this week.

Before the start of training camp, The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar gave his thoughts on each position group and what position battles could look like through camp.

One of the biggest question marks heading into training camp is the offensive line, which has some new additions this season and Dugar says that Seattle has the talent tohave a top-five offense but without a good offensive line, that won't happen.

An ideal starting five would be left tackle Charles Cross, left guard Laken Tomlinson, center Olu Oluwatimi, right tackle Abraham Lucas and one of either McClendon Curtis, Anthony Bradford or rookie Christian Haynes at right guard. Time will tell whether that's an upgrade over last year's lineup, but that's a major piece of this puzzle.

Seattle has the skill-position talent to have a top-five offense. However, that's an unattainable goal without an above-average offensive line. The unit is critical on every snap, but the performance in the red zone and on third down in particular could push the offense from very good to elite, and that's where the Seahawks have been lacking in recent years.

The Seahawks placed seven players on the physically unable to perform list, that includes right tackle Abraham Lucas, and linebackers Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson.

The team also placed five players on the non-football injury list.

Players placed on both the PUP and non-football injury list before training camp can return at any time during training camp and the preseason, whereas players still on those lists following the cutdown to 53 players ahead of the regular season opener must miss four games before being eligible to return. In other words, a player going on one of those lists before camp doesn't necessarily mean he will be out long.

KING 5's Paul Silvi sat down with Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba to talk about his rookie season, as well as what Smith-Njigba is looking forward to this season.

The Seahawks receiver finished the season with 63 receptions, 628 yards receiving and four touchdowns, two of which were game-winning scores. Smith-Njigba told Silvi he's most proud of playing every game last season.

Ask Smith-Njigba what his proudest accomplishment in his rookie season was and before he mentions a highlight catch or pivotal touchdown he'll point to a simple, but often overlooked part of the game.

The rookie played all 17 regular season games.

"I want to give thanks just for making it through a whole season healthy," Smith-Njigba said. "Very proud of that. Very proud of how I approached day-to-day, just to stay on the field in my first season at the highest level."
