Kenneth Walker’s sore foot has kept him out of another practice.
The Seattle Seahawks held an early Monday morning practice after taking Sunday off. It’s game week for Seattle, whose preseason opener is Thursday at Lumen Field against the Las Vegas Raiders.
This practice was closed to the public and no coaches were available for media interviews—Mike Macdonald was also away from the team due to a personal matter—so this is going to be a fairly light report.
News and Notes
Kenneth Walker III among notable Seahawks not practicing
Walker has been dealing with a sore foot, which no doubt is a sore spot for Seahawks fans who’ve lamented his injury history. There’s no word on when he’ll return to practice, and Mike Macdonald already indicated on Saturday that we won’t see the regular starters against the Raiders.
Welcome back, Charles Cross!
Team drills are still a no-go, but positional drills are still there for the Seahawks left tackle, who recently had finger surgery.
So much for back in late August.
Starting left tackle Charles Cross back on starting offensive line in position drills #Seahawks training camp practice 11. It’s less than a week after surgery to repair a dislocated ring finger on his right hand.
Yeah, he’ll start the opener pic.twitter.com/UYHWgINd1A

Olu Oluwatimi also out, Tyrice Knight ends practice early
No word on why Oluwatimi didn’t practice on Monday, but the third-year center was absent. Jalen Sundell had all of the snaps with the starters. On the defensive side of the ball, Tyrice Knight didn’t complete practice.
Olu Oluwatimi also not here today so Jalen Sundell handled all center snaps with the starters.

Charles Cross only did individual work. Tyrice Knight sat out end of practice with leg injury.

Derick Hall gets into a little practice scuffle
What I saw, heard, thought of the 11th practice of #Seahawks training camp, @USCG day here #SemperParatus #GoArmy
-more rookie Tory Horton with the 1s
-more Anthony Bradford as clear RG1
-no Mike Macdonald
-a Derick Hall dust-up after he held Sam Darnold post-pass pic.twitter.com/XzLCkDTmlJ— Gregg Bell (@gbellseattle) August 4, 2025
Tacoma News Tribune’s Gregg Bell reported that Derick Hall was holding Sam Darnold after the ball was thrown, and that was enough for some offensive linemen to take offense. Hall was thrown out of practice last year after getting into it with Christian Haynes, then there was the infamous scrap with Jarran Reed during the Buffalo Bills game.
Riq Woolen hypes up Tory Horton, who continues to get reps with the 1s
The Seahawks had Horton getting stretches of reps with the first-team last Friday and Saturday, and that continued on Monday for the rookie out of Colorado State. Horton was considered a steal of a fifth-round pick, with a knee injury the only real reason his stock dropped.
Fourth-year corner Riq Woolen crashed Horton’s presser to tell everyone what he thinks about his new teammate.

Shaun Alexander shows up to practice
As part of an annual Seahawks tradition, the team hosted Seattle-area military members for USAA Salute to Service NFL Boot Camp Day. The guests got to challenge themselves in common NFL combine drills such as the 40-yard dash, broad jump, three-cone shuttle, receiving gauntlet, and the QB arm challenge.
Yo know who was also there? A certain former league MVP.
