Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs a full go to start training camp

Seattle Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs was a full go to start training camp following a gruesome leg injury suffered last season.

While Seattle Seahawks fans got some bad news on Thursday regarding safety Jamal Adams and his hand injury, the team’s other starting safety – Quandre Diggs – has had an impressive start to training camp.

“He had a fantastic first day,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Thursday. “The thing that I posed to the guys was that you get this one shot, yesterday, to make a first impression. I was trying to challenge them a little bit. We had a number of guys that jumped out at us on the practice field and off of the film. He was one of them, Quandre looked great yesterday.”

Diggs is returning from a gruesome leg injury after he dislocated his ankle and broke his fibula in the Seahawks’ final game of the season. Now, back on the practice field, Carroll isn’t taking any unnecessary risks.

“You could not tell, he had a couple of bursts in coverage opportunities and he was flying around the field,” Carroll continued. “I think that he logged the most plays in the day by the time the day was over, so we cut back a little bit today. He was a full go and that was great.”

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is hoping that starting running back Chris Carson will be full-speed, full-load Week 14 against the Jets.

Seattle Seahawks Chris Carson has been easing back into the action over the last couple of weeks after suffering a foot injury that kept him watching from the sidelines. Heading into Week 14, it looks like Carson might have finally turned the corner.

The Seahawks starting running back wasn’t able to practice in full ahead of the Giants game which factored into the game-planning. Carlos Hyde, Carson’s first backup, had been battling his own injury with a sore hamstring.

Coach Pete Carroll explained the scenario during his Monday afternoon press conference.

“He feels better this week going into the week than he’s felt at any time, so I think this week is really a time we have a chance to cut him loose and he can take the full load,” Carroll said. “That hindered us a little bit in the thinking. Carlos entered the game kind of gingerly as well, so both of those guys, it affected us a little bit and unfortunately that’s just the way it went.”

The good news, however, is that things might be different this week against the Jets as both backs appear to be getting healthier.

“Chris looked really good, he handled what we did,” Carroll continued. “He came out of the game better, so in the long run of it, we’ll have him, we hope, full-speed, full-load this week.”
