There is one big reason for concern with the first Seattle Seahawks practice report, though it’s not all that unexpected.

Brock Huard Reacts: Why Seattle Seahawks made LB trade

Star wide receiver DK Metcalf did not practice Wednesday with a knee injury suffered in the team’s win Sunday over the Falcons. Metcalf left the game in Atlanta in the fourth quarter, at one point even being carted back to the locker room, and he reportedly has a Grade 1 MCL sprain according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald provided an update on Metcalf during his Wednesday media availability at team headquarters in Renton.

“You know him, he’s doing all the things,” Macdonald said of Metcalf. “He’s not going to practice today. Probably won’t practice tomorrow. Right now we’ll see on Friday, kind of reevaluate as we go.”

Metcalf wasn’t the only key skill player on offense down on Wednesday. Running back Kenneth Walker III, who played through an illness on Sunday, was also a DNP with sickness listed as the reason.

Seattle’s banged-up secondary was also present in the DNP category in the form of cornerbacks Tre Brown (ankle) and Nehemiah Pritchett (ankle).

Two other defensive backs were limited for Wednesday’s practice: cornerback Riq Woolen (ankle) and safety Julian Love (knee/quad).

The Seahawks designated two players to return on Wednesday in tackles George Fant (injured reserve, knee) and Abraham Lucas (physically unable to perform list, knee), and both were limited participants in practice.
