McDowell attends practice
Seattle’s first pick in the 2017 draft, defensive lineman Malik McDowell, attended practice Monday, the first time he had been visible during any portion of practice open to the media this season (McDowell is in the white in the picture below).
McDowell, taken in the second round out of Michigan State, suffered what coach Pete Carroll said earlier this month was a “really bad’’ concussion in an ATV accident in July.
He remains on the non-football injury list but has been taking part in non-practice team activities for a month or so.
But this is the first week players can come off the NFI or Physically Unable to Perform lists and Carroll said two weeks ago there was a chance McDowell could return to practice at some point this season and did not rule out that he could play.
“He’s got some stuff coming up in the next couple of weeks, I think it’s within two weeks that he’ll get kind of reassessed and all of that just to see where we are,’’ Carroll said on Oct. 6. “There’s been some conversation from different camps kind of about where he is and how he’s doing, so the check-ups are really important, and we’ll just see. We’ve not ruled that thought out that he could come back.”
The window for players to return from the NFI or PUP lists to return to practice lasts from weeks 6-11 after which players have to either be placed on the 53-man roster or Injured Reserve.
Defensive end Dion Jordan also remains on the NFI list and cornerback DeShawn Shead is on the PUP list and each could also return to practice soon.
Carroll did not speak to the media on Monday to offer updates but will hold his usual regular weekly press conference on Tuesday.
