Geno Smith has been missing from Seattle Seahawks practice the past few days. A double injury was imminent. Now the quarterback has been checked out

The new NFL season has already opened with the Hall of Fame Game between the Chicago Bears and the Houston Texans, and next week the Seattle Seahawks will kick off the preseason for the first time.

Quarterback Geno Smith is unlikely to play in the clash with the Los Angeles Chargers anyway, as the starters are usually still being rested

However, it could have been that the playmaker is not available at all, as he has been absent from the Seahawks’ training sessions in recent days. But now the all-clear: According to “ESPN”, examinations of Smith’s hip and knee revealed nothing alarming, so the 33-year-old should not be out for much longer.

Head coach Mike Macdonald held back on Thursday with predictions regarding a potential return to training the following day. However, nothing should stand in the way of such a return following the new findings.
