The Seattle Seahawks are about to open training camp, and there’s plenty for fans to keep an eye on before the season gets rolling.
Seattle enters camp with real buzz around it, which is part of why the league picked the Seahawks as the featured team for this year’s edition of "Hard Knocks," the five-part docuseries that follows training camp. The filming crew will be at every practice, giving fans another layer to watch as camp unfolds.
There’s no shortage of roster storylines, either. Nick Emmanwori and Kenny McIntosh are on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List, but most of the roster is healthy and ready to work. Several position battles will also play out over the course of camp, giving the team a chance to show off its depth.
A few rookies will be in the middle of that competition, including first-round pick Jadarian Price. He is in line to be the team’s starting running back after Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III signed with the Kansas City Chiefs during the offseason.
Fans hoping to catch practice in person can buy tickets through the team’s website for any of the listed training camp dates at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Parking is handled differently than a typical game day. The team says there is no on-site parking at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Instead, all fans must park at the main garage at The Landing in Renton, located at 810 N 10th St., Renton, WA 98057, and use the designated shuttles from there.

Jake Bobo Could Force An Uncomfortable Seahawks Veteran Decision
The Seahawks have spent the summer sorting through a receiver room that suddenly feels deeper and more complicated than it did a year ago. Jake Bobo is part of that conversation again, with the young wideout still trying to carve out a bigger role behind established names while Seattle weighs how the group should look going forward.
Bobos path matters because his camp and preseason work could help determine how much room there is for him in the rotation, especially with Rashid Shaheed expected to handle a larger share of the passing game. Cooper Kupp still brings value and experience, but the emergence of younger options has made every snap at receiver feel a little more consequential for the Seahawks. [Read more 🡒]
Several Seahawks Veterans Enter Camp With No Real Job Security
Training camp always has a way of turning the depth chart into a live document, and this one looks especially unsettled for a handful of Seattle veterans. Uchenna Nwosu, Ty Okada and Christian Haynes are all heading into a stretch where younger players are pushing hard behind them, while the Seahawks are also sorting out the backup quarterback picture as the roster starts to take shape.
For Nwosu, the question is less about what he has done than what the team wants to learn about Derik Hall. Okada has a rookie challenger in Bud Clark as the secondary continues to sort itself out, and Haynes is trying to hold off a wave of younger competition at guard. It is the kind of camp pressure that can sharpen a roster, but it also means a few familiar names are going to spend the next few weeks fighting for the same jobs they thought they had secured.

Seahawks Open Camp With A Surprise Mike Macdonald Hadn't Seen Yet
The Seahawks opened training camp with a cleaner bill of health than theyve had in a while, and that matters as much for the mood in the building as it does for the roster. Every veteran passed physicals and conditioning tests, leaving Seattle without any players on the nonfootball injury or physically unable to perform lists when camp began, a welcome change for a team trying to build momentum under Mike Macdonald.
It also marked the first time in Macdonalds tenure that the Seahawks got through the opening stretch of camp without anyone failing the conditioning test. Rookie Deven Eastern did land on the PUP list, but with no rookies on NFI and the veterans all cleared, Seattle at least starts camp with a healthier-looking depth chart than it has had at this stage before.
