Grey Zabel Returns to Practice With Haynes the Backup Plan for Week 12

The rookie left guard returned to practice Thursday with his Week 12 status still to be determined.

Overview

  • Head coach Mike Macdonald said Christian Haynes will start at left guard if Grey Zabel is not ready to play against the Titans.
  • Zabel, who injured his left knee late in the Week 11 loss to the Rams, was held out Wednesday and is considered day-to-day after tests showed no major damage.
  • Zabel took part in the open portion of Thursday’s practice, signaling progress four days after the injury.
  • Haynes replaced Zabel for 10 snaps against Los Angeles, allowing one pressure and no sacks, and has been practicing at both guard spots and center after returning from a preseason pectoral injury.
  • Seattle also noted roster updates this week, with nose tackle Johnathan Hankins out for the season and rookie Rylie Mills nearing a return to practice, while Tory Horton, Tyrice Knight and Robbie Ouzts did not practice Wednesday.
