Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald said Quenton Nelson has returned to the team following a minor knee procedure and is working toward a possible late-November return.
The Story
Seattle has provided an injury recovery update on All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson, saying he has returned to the team after a minor procedure on his injured knee.
Macdonald said Nelson is back with Seattle and is “chasing edges,” adding, “Treatment-wise is chasing edges, which is music to my ears.”
The update comes two days after Nelson underwent the procedure on Monday, Nov. 9.
Seattle has ruled Nelson out for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Macdonald’s comments suggested the team’s current hope is for Nelson to return after Seattle’s Week 11 bye, in time for the Nov. 29 game at the San Francisco 49ers.
Nelson was acquired by Seattle from the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 27 in a trade that sent a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection.
He played every offensive snap in his Seahawks debut against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 2, and four days later Macdonald said Nelson needed a knee procedure.
Seattle has kept Nelson off injured reserve and indicated that the approach is meant to reflect the expected recovery timeline.
