“As of right now, I don’t believe Geno is going to go,” Macdonald said. “A couple other starters aren’t going to go as well, which is all good.

But then we’ll sharpen it up, guys will have a great showing, and we’ll see where we’re at and move forward.”

Coming back from missing four practices with a hip/knee issue, Macdonald felt Smith returned “seamlessly” this week, showing no residual effects from the injury.

He practiced throughout the week without any setbacks and per Macdonald, his next test will come in the form of joint practices against the Titans next week in Nashville.

RENTON, Wash. – Unlike the past few seasons, the Seattle Seahawks will play quite a few starters in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, but that list will not include their starting quarterback.

Speaking with reporters following Thursday’s final tune up practice leading into Saturday’s exhibition contest at SoFi Stadium, Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald indicated Geno Smith will not see any snaps against the Chargers.

In regard to who else may or may not play, he didn’t provide any specifics with a bit of gamesmanship 48 hours before kickoff.
