Geno Smith

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (hip) practiced Monday.

Smith sustained a hip injury last week during practice that required testing, but was considered short term in nature. Smith’s return to practice in such short order suggests it’s not an ailment that will linger into the middle and late parts of August. Smith, 33, told reporters last week that he intends to run more in 2024. Smith in 2023 had a mere 55 yards on 37 carries after rushing for 366 yards on 68 carries as Seattle’s starter in 2022. He said he “can add an extra element to what defenses have to account for if I get a couple extra first downs or a couple extra touchdowns” on the ground.
