The Seahawks received unwanted injury news at the start of the OTA.corner back Tarik Oorun Underwent arthroscopic knee surgery, as detailed by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Brady Henderson.
The injury occurred last week and was determined to require immediate surgery. According to ESPN, the surgery “successfully lived up to the doctors’ expectations,” but Woolen is still expected to be out until training camp. A return by July would put the 24-year-old on track for the regular season, but Seattle will no doubt proceed cautiously given his importance to the team. .
To say that Woolen’s rookie campaign was a success would be a dramatic understatement. The fifth-rounder recorded six interceptions (tied for the league’s top) and returned one touchdown. He added 16 pass deflections and his three fumble recoveries to his impressive stats sheet. Those totals earned him a Pro Bowl nomination and ranked third in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting.
They also cemented his position as the long-term foundation of Seattle secondary education. The Seahawks invested this year’s No. 1 draft pick in: Devon Witherspoon, so their CB tandem should be formidable in the near future. But there was also some deep movement due to Uhlen’s absence for much of the offseason.
Seahawks recall veteran Artie Burns You’ll be a familiar face on the backend on Monday. Barnes will appear in three games for Seattle in 2022, and we may see more use in the spring when Woolen is out. Despite the timing of the deal, Seattle Times’ Bob Condotta said: Tweet The Seahawks reportedly intended to bring back Barnes regardless of Ulen’s status. Either way, the latter’s recovery will be watched as he prepares for training camp.
