Pete Carroll provides update on Devon Witherspoon’s timeline for return

Top Seattle Seahawks draft pick Devon Witherspoon has been out for the last eight practices due to a hamstring injury, and it’s not known whether we’ll see him ready for Week 1 of the regular season.

Witherspoon had a hamstring injury on the same leg leading up to the NFL Combine, so there might be some cause for concern on that front. In the short-term it looks as if we might see the former Illinois cornerback eased into practice as early as next week, according to Pete Carroll.

Pete Carroll says Devon Witherspoon (8 straight missed Seahawks practices, hamstring) may be able to do more on the field next Wednesday or Thursday @thenewstribune pic.
