The Seattle Seahawks are giving starting left tackle Duane Brown a little downtime during training camp. He sat out Sunday’s practice but not because of an injury.
“We’re trying to take care of him over the long haul,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters during his Zoom press conference on Monday. “He’s in incredible shape. He’s just pumped, looks quick as ever. He can get by with a lesser workload. Long-haul thinking for us.”
But taking care of the 13-year-veteran over the long haul isn’t the only reason Brown might be sitting out some reps.
“And the young guys need the work,” Carroll continued. “Cedric [Ogbuehi] needs to be able to get as many reps as he can to show us what he can do.”
The Seahawks practice again on Tuesday before breaking on Wednesday for this week’s day off.
