The defensive backfield was in focus on day one of Seattle Seahawks mini-camp. Earl Thomas says he’ll be ready for the first game and Pete Carroll says the organization would like to work something out with Kam Chancellor regarding his contract.
Six months after breaking his leg in a game against the Carolina Panthers, Earl Thomas participated in mini-camp Tuesday in Renton. He says he is at 80% and promised he’ll be ready for the first game. Carroll said the free safety is way ahead of schedule in his recovery.
As for Chancellor, when asked about the contract status of his star star strong safety, Carroll said, “We would very much like to work something out. We’re working on it.”
Chancellor, who is recovering from bone spur surgery on his ankles, says he trusts the what the team says. He is under contract through the end of the 2017 season.
in other news, Carroll said defensive lineman Dion Jordan had surgery to clean up loose bodies from his knee. Jordan signed with Seattle in April after being cut by Miami in March.
Mini-camp runs through Thursday at the VMAC.
