Seahawks Insider

There’s not much going today with most teams holding light practices over the weekend. But I managed to dig up a few tidbits worth checking out this morning.

Seattle Seahawks

Here's a short feature I wrote for today on ex-WSU receiver Michael Bumpus. While probably on the outside looking in with the rest of talented, young players in the competition at receiver, Bumpus has looked good so far in camp.

Scott Johnson of the Everett Herald takes a look at some unheralded players who have made an impact so far in camp, including Howard Green, David Hawthorne and Jamar Adams.

Mike Kahn checks in with an overview of how the Seahawks training camp is going so far, along with five keys to the team’s success this season.

San Francisco 49ers

In an expected move, the 49ers sign Takeo spikes and release struggling Brandon Moore to make room for Spikes on the roster. The two-time Pro Bowler was released by Philadelphia after playing just one year there, as the Eagles went with younger alternatives at linebacker.

Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that coach Mike Nolan could be interested in an upgrade at quarterback, but that no one out there has peaked his interest yet.

Arizona Cardinals

Kent Somers of the Arizona Cardinals suggests that Arizona players might not want the rest of the league to know, but there’s a quiet feeling in camp among the team that they might be pretty good this season.

Anquan Boldin competed in practice on Sunday for the first time in two weeks and appears OK.

Boldin says he expects to play Saturday at Kansas City.

St. Louis Rams

After giving up 340 yards on the ground against the Titans, Rams coach Scott Linehan has his defense working on stopping the run this week.

St. Louis rookie cornerback Justin King is out for the season after tearing a ligament in is big toe.

Puyallup native Dane Looker had a good game against the Titans, finishing with four catches for 73 yards.

CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco takes a look at the Rams in this team report.
