Thanks for posting this

This is really good news.

The big question of course, is whether Lucas can last a whole season. My guess is, no. I don't think he ever will. Parts of a season each year yeah, but not a entire season without sitting out a game or a few.

I'm hopeful with Lucas. They saw his issue last year and went after it in the off-season as soon as they could. Do we know what kind of injury to knee he has?

 

[Jville]

Abe Lucas started 16 games in his rookie Seahawks season (2022). He previously started 42 games for the Cougs while blocking for over 3000 snaps.

He will be fine. No need to get negative on the guy.

He's a hell of a player, but we def. can't just ignore the fact that it looks like Lucas has a chronic knee issue. They will plan accordingly, imo.

 

[Wolfiegrrl]

I would be willing to bet he might have had some meniscus tears or something. Basically, needed a good clean out and time to heal. It hit him last year in training camp. I'm betting he'll be good as new this year.

According to a story I read this is something that has been dogging him since his time in the Palouse. So we're all praying this corrects the problem once and for all. If it does that could mean we might finally see the highly talented player we all hoped and knew he could be.

That said, JS needs to have a draft plan if it doesn't pan out, as you said. Preferably someone flexible enough to play multiple spots on the line, in case Lucas can make it back in a big way, so we can plug them in somewhere else in need.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

You can never have too much depth on both sides of the line, imo.

 

[Jville]

Getting Abe and Uchenna back in time for the start of the year is huge. It makes the team stronger going into this year than it was coming out of last year. Those two are roster impact returns.

I just hope Jerrick is patient with his rehab and doesn't have a set back from rushing his return. He made a big 1st year impression prior to his injury. He could give them an in season boost.

Seems to be they already have with Fant. I’m sure an o line or two in the draft.

I’m pulling for Abe though. Would be rad to see him rehab back and kick total ass

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely. He's a hell of a player. And we need him. Fingers, Legs and everything else crossed (no pun intended)
