RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Jarran Reed didn't really fall asleep until 3:30 a.m. By 6:30 a.m. on Monday, he was alert and awake.
He was determined to be early when he showed up at the Seattle Seahawks' facility for the first time in six weeks.
"I was at home just waiting. I remember I cut everything off, TV, lights, and I was at home just popping my eyes open checking the time on my phone," Reed said. "I was real excited to be back."
Seattle's powerhouse defensive tackle missed the first six games of the season while serving a suspension and the timing of his return couldn't be better for a defensive front that has yet to have the kind of impact the Seahawks expected.
