Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is not expected to miss any time after tests for knee and hip injuries did not reveal any significant damage, ESPN reported on Friday.
Smith didn’t take part in the Seahawks’ walk-through Wednesday and watched from the sideline on Thursday when the team resumed practicing in pads.
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Smith has been “working through a couple of things from the other day.”
With Smith out, offseason acquisition Sam Howell — who came over in a March trade with the Washington Commanders — took first-team reps on Wednesday and Thursday. Former Carolina Panthers signal-caller PJ Walker is Seattle’s third-string QB.
Smith, 33, completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 3,624 yards with 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 15 games last season. He was named to his second straight Pro Bowl last season.

Smith was sidelined during the Seahawks’ recent practices, but head coach Mike Macdonald reassured fans that Smith is working through some minor issues from previous days. In Smith’s absence, Sam Howell, acquired in a trade with the Washington Commanders, took over first-team reps, with PJ Walker serving as the third-string quarterback.
Despite the setback, Smith had an impressive season last year, completing over 64% of his passes for over 3,600 yards, with 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. His performance earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year.
Fans can rest assured that Smith is expected to return to the field soon, ready to lead the Seahawks to victory in the upcoming season.
