Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was absent for Friday’s Seahawks practice to attend the funeral of his grandfather, Dr. Harrison B. Wilson, who passed away Sunday.
Harrison Wilson, a former president of Norfolk State University, was 94.
The funeral is in Norfolk, Va.
Wilson is expected back in Seattle for the Seahawks’ practice on Saturday, a mock game that will be held at Pop Keeney Stadium in Bothell. He is expected to return to the Seattle area Friday night.
It is just the second practice of any kind Wilson has missed since being drafted by the Seahawks in 2012.
