Sounds good. I guess we'll see. I'd hate to rush him and have a relapse, of course, but that's the coaches' and trainers' jobs. They're usually a bit conservative on these matters, and we have the example of P-Rich last season, who was impressed back into service and suffering a hammie pull.

I have trust that Jimmie has pride and desire to prove himself, so I know he'll do the work.

All reports say that he was running but none whether he's cutting yet (highly unlikely). That's a lot of man to change direction suddenly, but if he's building the strength in the knee now, I'll express some cautious optimism about his chances for September.

Luke Willson today said something along the lines that Graham is working hard with good attitude on his rehabbing.

The show also touched on how rehab is a struggle along the lines of patience to do the same boring thing everyday. And that players that don't tend to be serious about the work everyday don't recover as well and fall back.

So I think Graham is on track, I doubt he'll be ready by the Season without knowing the full extent of his injury but mid-season looks like he could be back full force.

Awesome news, which goes to reinforce the team's belief he'll be ready to go the regular season.

A step in the right direction for sure. Happy.

"A few passes in warmups?" Honestly, that makes the thread title almost disingenuous.

The poster above you nailed it. Accept your glass half empty view is wrong and move on. From all indications he'll be back full strength and probably by week 8 or sooner. Remember Adrian Peterson? HGH is not fake and the NFL doesn't actually want to test for it in a serious manner just like the Olympics. Just too much money riding on it to get real about it.

Fact that he is loosely running and catching passes on the field at all right now is huge considering the extremes we were talking about 3 months ago about being out for the season.

I hereby declare shenanigans on the requirement that the glass be half-full or half-empty and request that we all accept the truth: the glass is at 50% capacity.

Unbiased facts > opinions.

There's a short clip of it on the official Seahawks site. Graham is shown jogging (not running), turning, and jumping to catch the ball.

I refuse to accept this. Without a doubt the glass is entirely filled.

50% with liquid, 50% with gas.

Gramatically, this is a very confusing sentence.

Is he jogging, and turning and jumping to catch the ball, but not running, or is he jogging and catching the ball, but not running, jumping, or turning to catch the ball?

Good point. Corrected above.

This optimistic view with Graham actually out of a wheel chair and not crippled for life goes counter to what the majority of experts here on .Net proclaimed, therefor I'm having a hard time accepting that Graham isn't about to commit suicide due to his early forced retirement due to injury. I refuse to believe !

That is awesome and very optimistic news. If the tendon is able to withstand the strain of landing a jump at this point, even if it is just a casual jump, then he is much further ahead of where I thought he would be.

It's not landing on the knee that concerns me. It is getting whacked in the knee when in an awkward position.

You can never account for that scenario. So chill and relax, the man will be back and this team is going to get serious this year. Last year was an embarrassment yet we still almost put it altogether and the reason we're not going to do the same stuff we did for the last four years.

This isn't the Marshawn Lynch Show anymore. It's the Russell Wilson Show with a defense that's actually going to stop being so obviously basic. Change and twists are coming and in my opinion it's already been about 2 years late.

You clearly do not understand patellar tendon tears or recovery from them
