SAN JOSE, Calif. — Seattle held a 1-hour, 36-minute practice Friday that began at 12:05 p.m.
Safety Nick Emmanwori, who injured an ankle earlier in the week, joined the defensive backs in drills and participated in full. He played catch with a ball boy during break. Emmanwori has no injury designation for Sunday.
“No designation for Nick,” Macdonald said. “Turns out he’s alive.”
Fullback Robbie Ouzts is the only Seattle player with a game status designation. He was limited in practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and is questionable for Sunday with a neck injury. Tackle Josh Jones was also limited in practice Friday with an ankle and knee injury. All other Seattle players listed on the injury report this week, including quarterback Sam Darnold (oblique), fully participated in Friday’s practice.
Seattle’s Friday practice was a tempo the Seahawks call ACT.
“ACT is alignment, communication and technique,” Macdonald said. “It was a normal Friday workload, all the stuff we do on Friday, so par for the course. Just gonna stick to our process.”
The first-team offense practiced with simulated crowd noise played loudly instead of music. The first-team defense also practiced with crowd noise.
“We do (crowd noise) every week,” Macdonald said. “Not sure what the noise level is going to be during the game. We try to hit all those different scenarios.”
Defensive end Leonard Willams broke down the team to finish their final Friday practice of the season. Players’ families are now in town and Macdonald said they will have the rest of the night to spend with family.
“They’ll get a chance to be with their families, which would be great and we’ll be back to work in the morning,” Macdonald said.
Seattle’s three quarterbacks stayed on the field after practice closed to work with passing game coordinator Jake Peetz.
Macdonald said Seattle will have another practice tomorrow, also at ACT tempo.
