With Seahawks rookies reporting early for training camp on Wednesday, the team placed four of them on the Physically Unable to Perform list: safety Marquise Blair (hamstring), guard Phil Haynes, linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven (sports hernia surgery) and defensive tackle Demarcus Christmas. Guard Demetrius Knox (foot) was placed on the Non-football Injury list. Only players who go on PUP at the start of camp are eligible to begin the regular season on PUP, in which case they'd have to stay there for the first six weeks of the regular season before being eligible to play. But players can come off PUP anytime between now and the end of the preseason. So a move to PUP now is about maintaining roster flexibility. Of the five rookies, Blair, a second-round pick, has the best shot at winning a starting job if healthy.

Carroll: Strong side 'good spot' for LB Griffin

Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin said he's "having so much fun again" since the team moved him back to the strong side, where he played at Central Florida.

Shaquem Griffin said it was twin brother Shaquill's idea to hire a personal chef for the two of them. Shaquem said he's moving better after cutting out pork, fried foods and fast food. And he likes how much cheaper it is compared to taking his family out to eat.

In need of edge rushers with Frank Clark gone and Ziggy Ansah coming off shoulder surgery, the Seahawks plan to use Barkevious Mingo more in that role than they did last season. Of Mingo's 497 defensive snaps, he rushed the passer on only 68 of them and dropped into coverage on 193 of them, according to ESPN charting. He had two sacks while mainly playing on early downs as an edge-setting strong-side linebacker (he also led the team in special-teams snaps). Said Pete Carroll: "If you watched him this camp, he worked a lot with (defensive line coach Clint Hurtt) in the pass-rush stuff because we want to really accentuate that for him and not divide his focus. Last year, it was SAM 'backer and a little bit of pass-rush stuff and he never really got to dig in. He can make problems for the opponent because he's so fast and he's so long so we really tried to accentuate that and we'll do that again through camp. We want to really specialize him as a rusher knowing that he can play the 'backer spot. He worked really hard to learn that. He did fine last year. We know that we have guys that can also play there so we're going to see if we can really bring him to the front with his pass-rush."

Pete Carroll is confident that second-year tight end Will Dissly will be ready for the Seahawks' opener, even if he has to miss the start of training camp as he recovers from surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon. "We're totally thinking that he's going to be ready to go for the season," Carroll said. "We have no question about that." Dissly was playing starter snaps and had scored two touchdowns when he went down in Week 4. Carroll added: "The decision will be should we start him right from the beginning (of camp) or should we wait a week or whatever as we just ensure that he's back. We do not want to rush this one at all. We want to make sure that he's 1,000 percent confident and ready to go and can make all the breaks and the plants and (change-of-direction) and stuff, so we'll take a real good look at it. But it's really promising that he's going to be ready to go."

The Seahawks are moving second-year linebacker Shaquem Griffin from the weak side to the strong side. That position in Pete Carroll's defense entails playing on the ball from a two-point stance, setting the edge and rushing the passer — which is what Griffin did at UCF. He's embracing the move back to his preferred position but says he has to get re-acclimated to rushing.

The only certainty with the Seahawks at safety is that Bradley McDougald will be one of their starters, but even his position is up in the air. McDougald has played strong and free during his two seasons in Seattle. Which one he ends up at in 2019 will depend to some degree on who wins the other starting job: Tedric Thompson (free), Delano Hill (strong) or rookie second-round pick Marquise Blair. The Seahawks think Blair can play both spots but are trying him at strong safety first. That's where McDougald prefers to play. "I'm fully prepared to come in and play strong safety, really compete and battle with whoever," he said. "I can do both but I prefer to play in the box and closer to the line of scrimmage. There's just more for me to do there in the run game and the man-to-man coverages. But I'm always willing to do whatever to make the team work and be the best asset for the team. But I definitely intend to play in the box.”
