The OffseasonTraining CampProjecting the 53: Seahawks on the defensive sideNew,85commentsPDTIt’s been a full week since the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos 22-14 in Week 1 of the preseason, and with the team’s second preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings set for Sunday, roster cuts are rapidly approaching. The team must get down to 53 players by 4 pm on Saturday, August 31, meaning there are just sixteen days left between now and those cuts. Taking into consideration the fact that in those sixteen days the Hawks will play three games and have a handful of days off, and all of a sudden the number of practices in which players can make a case to the coaching staff for their spot on the roster are quickly dwindling. In any case, based on what we’ve seen so far in practice and in Week 1, here’s a shot at the defensive side of the ball for the team come cut time. As a reminder, I am sticking with my belief that the team will keep 3 specialists, 26 offensive players and 24 defensive players to start the season, with the team likely to balance out at 25 offense and 25 defense when Reed returns from suspension in Week 7.

An infielder, Wilson hit .229 in two seasons in the low minor leagues in Colorado’s system in 2010-11.The 29-year-old Wilson is expected to be in the Yankees major league camp in March, where he will participate in pregame workouts and watch games from the Yankees dugout while in Florida. He will be assigned to the Double-A Trenton roster.”We’ve admired Russell’s career from afar for quite some time,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.”This is a unique opportunity for us to learn from an extraordinary athlete who has reached the pinnacle of his profession. After talking to a number of our players, there is a genuine excitement in having Russell join us for a short time in camp.”Wilson issued a statement thanking the Rangers for giving him the chance to experience professional baseball again.”Growing up taking grounders, hitting BP, and throwing deep post routes early in the mornings with my dad and brother is where my love of sports came from, and those memories stick with me every morning I wake up,” Wilson said.”I remember how excited I was when Texas selected me in the Rule 5 Draft in December 2013. During my two springs in Arizona with the Rangers, I was reminded just how much I love the game of baseball.”A two-sport athlete in college, Wilson graduated from North Carolina State University in 2010. In 2011, he left the Rockies organization for football to be a graduate transfer at Wisconsin, leading to the Badgers to a share of the Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl appearance before the Seahawks took him in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft.”While football is my passion and my livelihood, baseball remains a huge part of where I came from and who I am today,” Wilson said.”I’ve learned so much on the baseball field that translates to my game physically and mentally playing quarterback in the NFL. …While I embrace the chance to be a New York Yankee, I will forever be grateful to have been a part of a world class organization like the Texas Rangers.”—More MLB baseball: https://apnews.com/tags/MLBbaseball
