The Seattle Seahawks are getting some much-needed help on the defensive line going forward now that new defensive end Carlos Dunlap has passed COVID-19 testing protocols and been cleared to play.
Seattle traded with the Bengals for Dunlap just last week but Wednesday was the first day he could take the practice field.
“The good thing is he just took a week off,” coach Pete Carroll explained. “He’s been practicing, preparing, playing games, all that. So no concern about anything other than how he handles the learning part of it, which he’s a vet, and getting through our first walk-through, he handled everything just right.”
And in even better news, Dunlap won’t likely be on any sort of pitch count in his first game as a Seahawk.
“I don’t see any restriction at all on him playing this week,” Carroll continued. “We’ll find out during the week and all, but really excited to have him out here, and he’s really pumped about being part of it.”
