The Seattle Seahawks have wrapped up another training camp practice. Today’s session at the VMAC was the team’s sixth since the start of camp and the second day of full pads.

Here are five takeaways from the media members on-site.

The situation at the top of Seattle’s running back depth chart has not improved. Starter Ken Walker and top backup Zach Charbonnet remain out with their respective injuries. Rookie guard Anthony Bradford and tight end Will Dissly were also out today.

For now the Seahawks have signed a couple of undrafted rookies to help while Walker and Charbonnet are out. They’ve added SaRodorick Thompson from Texas Tech and Wayne Taulapapa from Washington to the 90-man roster.

Perhaps the most-rewarding thing to witness this offseason has been the Seattle fanbase re-embracing Bobby Wagner after his year off playing for the division rival Rams. Wagner reportedly took less money to return to the Seahawks and after a year of poor Wagner-less linebacker play the fans love him more than ever before.

Today we got another wholesome moment in No. 54’s reunion tour when a kid in the crowd offered Wagner a date with his mom for an autograph.

A Richard Sherman appearance

Another Legion of Boom legend was in the building today, as we got a surprise appearance from former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. He was spotted chatting with general manager John Schneider.

Sherman and the organization were on bad terms for a few years but have since made up. Sherm has even been helping coach up fellow fifth-round draft pick Riq Woolen.

The secondary Seattle has put together this year is by far the best one they’ve had since the peak LOB days. We got a reminder of that during today’s practice when safety Julian Love picked off a pass from Geno Smith intended for Dee Eskridge in the end zone.

The reigning Comeback Player of the Year didn’t go on tilt after the pick, though. Geno Smith responded to the interception by throwing a couple of touchdown passes, first a deep bomb touchdown to wide receiver Tyler Lockett…

And then another to a wide open Colby Parkinson.

The Seahawks have the day off tomorrow. Practice resumes Thursday at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time, then the following evening is the fan fest at Lumen Field at 5:20, which will include a mock game.
