The Seattle Seahawks are in the middle of OTAs and only a handful of vets have shown up to the voluntary workouts this week. Seattle players, like numerous others around the league, issued a statement via the NFLPA last month citing COVID-19 concerns over the in-person sessions.
Coach Pete Carroll told reporters via Zoom on Thursday that under 40 players are participating in the on-field workouts – mostly the same roster from the rookie minicamp. But despite the low turnout for the OTAs, Carroll expects a packed house for the mandatory minicamp later in June.
“Our activities will pick up as we get closer to minicamp,’’ Carroll said in his press conference. “We expect pretty darn good attendance at minicamp. There’ll be a couple of guys who have some special situations.
“But for the most part, we expect guys to be there.”
