Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith made a triumphant return to practice on Monday, much to the delight of head coach Mike Macdonald and the rest of the team. After missing four sessions due to knee and hip issues, Smith was back on the field, ready to lead the Seahawks to victory.
Coach Macdonald expressed his optimism about Smith’s return, stating to reporters, “As far as I know, I think he’s rolling.” This confidence in Smith’s abilities is a testament to the quarterback’s tenacity and determination.
Last week, Smith had to sit out practices due to concerns about his knee and hip. However, after undergoing imaging tests, it was determined that there was no significant damage, according to NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Coach Macdonald praised Smith’s commitment to his recovery process, stating, “I’d just say we followed the steps of what everyone was saying we needed to do, and it was time for him to go out there, and he was there. It was great.” This dedication to his rehabilitation speaks volumes about Smith’s professionalism and work ethic.
Entering his third season as the Seahawks’ starting quarterback, Smith has established himself as a key player on the team, earning back-to-back Pro Bowl nods. Under the guidance of new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, Smith is looking to elevate his game to new heights this season.
Coach Macdonald had nothing but praise for Smith’s skills and leadership on the field, saying, “[He’s] the guy that I thought he was? Again, I’m on the record with this, but the respect for who he is as a player, accuracy, operation, how he handles the guys… Yeah, and our relationship is still in the works. We’ve known each other for, what, five months now? We’re in a good spot, and we’re rolling.”
With Smith back in action, the Seahawks are poised to make a strong showing in the upcoming season. Fans can expect nothing less than stellar performances from this seasoned quarterback as he leads his team to victory on the field.
