The short vacation is over, the Seahawks are back to work at VMAC in Renton preparing for the 2009 season. The first part of the first day is usually spent searching for numbers to see who's here and who isn't. There's not much mystery anymore since the public relations staff and head coach listed the missing players at at the first session. Marcus Trufant is on the PUP list with a sore back. PUP may be a cute dog to us but in ther NFL it means "physically unable to perform." It allows a team to replace that player on the roster temorarily. Baraka Atkins was excused to attend the funeral of a friend in Florida and top draft pick Aaron Curry isn't here and won't be until he signs his contract.
On the first day veteran offensive lineman Mike Wahl failed his physical exam and decided to retire. He had worked hard all during the off season but didn't quite get back to normal.
Everyone else who missed part of last season due to injury is back this year including 12 year veteran tackle Walter Jones, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and receiver Nate Burleson.
Training camp continues through August 21.
