Overview
- Finley intercepted a Sam Darnold pass at the Seahawks’ Lumen Field fan practice, a public milestone that players and coaches framed as a symbolic capstone to his recovery.
- Finley says he is physically 100 percent and head coach Mike Macdonald praised his work, saying Finley has “put himself right back in the thick of things.”
- Seattle re-signed Finley in March after he missed last season following an ACL tear at the same Lumen Field event, and he completed most of his rehab at Seahawks headquarters.
- Finley is competing for what may be the final safety roster spot against veterans Rodney Thomas and Maxen Hook while the depth chart also includes Julian Love, Ty Okada, Bud Clark and D’Anthony Bell.
- Nick Emmanwori remains on the PUP list as he returns from ankle surgery and is considered questionable for Week 1, a development that increases the practical value of Finley’s comeback and gives him a clearer path to make the team.
