DK Metcalf (knee) practiced on Monday.

Fann went on to say it sounds like he’s going to be ready for Week 1 barring a setback. Big news for the Seahawks, Fann added. Metcalf had a knee scope two weeks ago and it seemed like it was going to be a close call as to whether or not Metcalf would be ready to go. Brown will likely take some snaps and targets away, but the hope if Metcalf's value emerges as the season progresses.

The Seahawks have re-signed Jaron Brown and placed Ed Dickson on Injured Reserve.

Brown was released but quickly brought back to the roster and is expected to still see time in 2 WR sets, especially with Metcalf battling knee issues. Meanwhile, Dickson's move to IR makes Dissly and Vannett next up on the depth chart. No one is really a safe play outside of Lockett, however, and we first have to see how the rest of the targets shake out.

Pete Carroll said DK Metcalf is "moving around this week" with hopes of a quick return. Too soon to know what that means for Week 1.

Metcalf had a minor scope on his knee about a week ago but seems to have a shot to play in Week 1. There isn't really a sure thing behind Lockett at this point, so if Metcalf plays he still comes with risks but could certainly see some targets. Moore has a broken arm and also is a big question for Week 1, leaving Brown and Ursua up next.

Rookie John Ursua appears to be part of the Seahawks’ offensive plans, particularly as injuries to DK Metcalf and David Moore have depleted some of the depth at wide receiver.

Ursua looks like he'll play slot receiver at least until the unit gets healthier. The story was mostly about the comparisons of Ursua and Doug Baldwin. At Hawaii last year, Ursua led the nation in TD receptions with 16 and added 89 catches for 1,343 yards. So far in preseason he has four catches for 100 yards, which leads the team.

Jake Butt erased any worry with a solid performance in a football return of nearly one year in the making. Butt said he “felt good” on 11 snaps played with two receptions for 17 yards. He took on blockers, split out as a wide receiver on some plays and showcased quick feet in route running, albeit in a small sample size.

Butt had a false alarm when he limped off the field after his first play. Butt is further down the Broncos depth chart with Fant projected as the team's TE1. But, several injuries to the tight ends and the still unknown potential of Fant present Butt an opportunity to move up.
