The Seattle Seahawks wrapped up their final practice of training camp on Thursday and the players now break for a long weekend. For some, however, it could have been the final practice of their NFL careers.

Seattle, like all 31 other teams around the league, must trim their rosters to 53 players by Saturday’s deadline of 1:00 p.m. PT.

While coach Pete Carroll is pleased at how the team was able to come together in spite of the pandemic, the decisions on who stays and who goes are going to be difficult.

“We haven’t had enough competition at this time of the year to really make the evaluations the way we’d like to; we’d like to have all those game snaps and all,” Carroll said Thursday. “We’ve told you a million times that you’ve got to wait until you see guys in games, well we weren’t afforded that in the evaluation process, so that’s the only setback. But other than that, it has been a really solid camp.”

This offseason was so different than most – with all learning virtual until camp and no exhibition games to test the waters. The Seahawks feel as prepared as they could be, led by coach Carroll, the eternal optimist.

“We hung on there we didn’t give up and shy away from it at all,” Carroll continued. “Our coaches did a fantastic job, the players stayed with it, and it helped us throughout this camp where we were zooming a lot. So they felt like there was kind of a continuity that was different than usual, and to some degrees better. I don’t know what to tell you about that, but I’m really pleased with how it’s turned out.”
