Seahawks right tackle Brandon Shell ready to go against Jets

After missing the last two weeks due to an ankle injury, Seattle Seahawks right tackle Brandon Shell ready to go against the New York Jets.

The Seattle Seahawks will see the return of their starting right tackle, Brandon Shell, just in time for him to face his former teammates, the New York Jets.

Shell, who has sat out since Week 12 with an ankle injury, is ready to play on Sunday.

“He had a full week of practice and he did really well,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters after Friday’s walkthrough. “He’s ready to go and really no hesitation there.”

Carroll said Shell has been a valuable addition to Seattle’s roster and it was important for him to get the chance to face off against his previous team.

“He’s just been a real positive, solid as a rock,” Carroll said. “Unfortunately he missed a couple of games here but every way, running game, pass game, he’s really been a great acquisition for us and he filled the spot and we’re real excited about him.”

The Seahawks and Jets are set to kick off at 1:05 p.m PT on Sunday.

Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar will practice full speed Wednesday

Coach Pete Carroll said Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar will practice full speed on Wednesday and is ready to go this season.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar has had an interesting offseason, to say the least. Arrested in May on suspicion of armed robbery in Florida, the prosecution decided not to pursue charges this summer and Dunbar was finally free to join his teammates in training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

A late arrival to camp, Dunbar clearly had some catching up to do if he was going to realistically compete with Tre Flowers for the starting position. Fast forward to just last week, and Dunbar was absent from practice again – this time in order to attend a funeral.

As of Wednesday, however, Dunbar had completed the COVID testing protocol for re-entry and was present and ready to participate “full speed,” according to coach Pete Carroll.

“Well, he’s a really bright kid,” Carroll told reporters during his Zoom press conference on Wednesday before practice. “Picking up the system has been nothing for him, it’s been really easy . . . he’s missed enough days that he hasn’t got them all and you can tell a little bit.

“But because of the savvy player that he is – the experience that he has – we would be comfortable if he’s on the field playing for us.”

Dunbar and the rest of the roster return to practice Thursday and Friday before departing for Atlanta.
