From a recent Seattle Times article on McDowell....

McDowell attends practice

Seattle’s first pick in the 2017 draft, defensive lineman Malik McDowell, attended practice Monday, the first time he had been visible during any portion of practice open to the media this season (McDowell is in the white in the picture below).

McDowell, taken in the second round out of Michigan State, suffered what coach Pete Carroll said earlier this month was a “really bad’’ concussion in an ATV accident in July.

He remains on the non-football injury list but has been taking part in non-practice team activities for a month or so.

But this is the first week players can come off the NFI or Physically Unable to Perform lists and Carroll said two weeks ago there was a chance McDowell could return to practice at some point this season and did not rule out that he could play.

“He’s got some stuff coming up in the next couple of weeks, I think it’s within two weeks that he’ll get kind of reassessed and all of that just to see where we are,’’ Carroll said on Oct. 6. “There’s been some conversation from different camps kind of about where he is and how he’s doing, so the check-ups are really important, and we’ll just see. We’ve not ruled that thought out that he could come back.”

The window for players to return from the NFI or PUP lists to return to practice lasts from weeks 6-11 after which players have to either be placed on the 53-man roster or Injured Reserve.

Defensive end Dion Jordan also remains on the NFI list and cornerback DeShawn Shead is on the PUP list and each could also return to practice soon.

Carroll did not speak to the media on Monday to offer updates but will hold his usual regular weekly press conference on Tuesday.

950 is saying "Pete to address McDowell's status later today in his press conference."

When he should be saying...."where are the brakes again?". :twisted:

Per Pete's presser.

McDowell is actively back to work working with trainers again. Sounds like a slow process and conditioning mostly, but this is very good news considering where he was just a month ago with no news on his injury.

Good news.

I do think Seattle is at a place where they have an opportunity to set up the DL for the next half decade in the post Avril/Bennett years.

Clark/McDowell/Richardson would be infusing a lot of youth in the starting lineup.

Just to clarify - he attended practice so not activated not participating in full practice yet right? Which you have 21 days to activate him from

So that clock has not started

Conditioning with trainers is a good sign, but street clothes on the sideline watching isn't encouraging for contributing this year.

Well they sure aren't going to line him up against Ifedi his first day back. 2 1/2 weeks from today is only game 8. He can play this year.

He's standing next to Dion Jordan. Both of these guys could really help the line in the future. Hopefully sooner than later.

Both elite physical specimens for their positions. If either one hits we struck gold. Learning from and competing with Bennett, Avril, Richardson, and Clark should drasticaly improve any high potential player.

Why not? Seems like the safest place for him. It's not like Ifedi would lay a hand on him.

Maybe not a legal hand but ask Bennett who fought with him weekly last year about that. He obviously did something to set Clark off as well this year. But I do hear what you are saying.

I don't think you do. It was a joke about Ifedi whiffing.

This is a McDowell thread judging by the title. Keep it on topic.

With Pete's track record, Marcus Smith being the latest example, of getting the best out of cast offs, I'm stoked to see what they can do with Jordan. He doesn't have much wear on his body, though he is coming back from an injury. But as stated above, physical freak. This locker room seems to change guys mentality, the competitiveness is infectious.

Pete said in his presser today that McDowell is now working out. Sounds like he is being eased back to activities and taking part in meetings ect.

I think he has a 50/50 shot to see action late this year personally. Hard to tell with Pete, he won't give much on the subject other than "he is real happy for him", which is a good sign considering the caution with everything surrounding him.
