RENTON Chris Carson Color Rush Jersey , Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks is eager to get back to the normalcy provided by life on a football field.The 28-year old Kendricks is returning from an eight-game suspension due to violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy stemming from guilty pleas to insider trading charges in September. Kendricks pleaded guilty to one count of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud."This is my escape," Kendricks said Saturday. "Football is everything for me and to have lost that also was very hard. That also was probably the hardest thing, having to walk away from the game that I love, from a team that has accepted me. Just wanting to be here and not being able to hurt." Football wasn't the only thing he's lost. He says he has lost friendships since his issues became public this summer."Deep down, I'll never truly know who is with me or not, but I can tell there's a shift in energy between those who know me," he said. "Those who aren't supposed to be in my life won't be. And through hard situations like this, that sifts out."Kendricks was released by the Cleveland Browns after the charges were filed in late August. The Seahawks signed Kendricks after a season-opening loss to the Denver Broncos as Shaquem Griffin and Austin Calitro struggled to replace an injured K.J. Wright at weak-side linebacker. He played in three games — making two starts — and recorded 15 total tackles and two sacks prior to his suspension.Kendricks was suspended indefinitely by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Oct. 2. The league eventually settled on an eight-game suspension after reviewing the matter and speaking with Kendricks.With Wright again out while addressing ongoing problems with his knee, Kendricks' return could be a significant boost for the Seahawks' stretch run. He has been allowed to practice with the team for the last two weeks, but was not eligible to play until Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings."He looks really good on the practice field," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "Like when he played for us George Fant Color Rush Jersey , we really felt his quickness. You could see the plays that he can make and the savvy that he has that adds to it. So, it's going to be a while before he's truly comfortable in the playing mode just because it's happened so fast, but his awareness really allows him to jump right back in. We're going to expect him to be active and be part of it and play a lot in the game."His return to the field comes against his brother, Eric, who plays linebacker for the Vikings."It is special in the sense that during a hard time like this you lean on those that love you," Mychal Kendricks said. "You lean on those that have been there all your life and it's emotional coming back. What better way to come back than to play a loved one."He faces up to 25 years in prison when sentenced in January."That part is inevitable and I probably won't speak on that," he said, noting he is focusing on staying rooted in the present."I'm going to be where my feet are. I'm not going to harp on the past. I'm not going to predict the future. I'm just going to be right where I'm at. So take it day-by-day."Notes: Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (hip) will be a game-time decision due to a hip injury. He was unable to practice during the week. . RB Rashaad Penny (ankle) and FB Tre Madden (chest) are also listed as questionable.

The Seattle Seahawks appear to be set to take that idea to extremes at certain positions in 2019 Rashaad Penny Color Rush Jersey , however, with another season set to be marked by an continued influx of fresh, young faces. Gone are the years dominated by the core of the Legion of Boom, players who spent the better part of the soon to be ended decade, aiding in the transition from a team that went 4-12 in back-to-back seasons to a team that went to back-to-back Super Bowls. I looked at the youth of the Hawks defensive backfield last week, and how special teams ace Neiko Thorpe is the longest tenured member of that group, but what other positions are young and new to the Seahawks?For starters, the running back group is extremely young, even by NFL standards. With the departure of Mike Davis (26 years old) to the Chicago Bears, Tre Madden (25 years old) remaining unsigned as a free agent and J.D. McKissic (25 years old) being reassigned as a “return specialist”, there is not a single running back on the Hawks roster who is 25. That is set to change on Monday Doug Baldwin Color Rush Jersey , when 2016 third round draft pick and longest tenured Seattle running back C.J. Prosise will celebrate his birthday, but for now every single back on the roster is 24 or younger. That includes Chris Carson (will turn 25 in September)Adam Choice (listed as 23 on Seahawks roster, with a birthday that is in late November or early December)Rashaad Penny (turned 23 in February)Bo Scarbrough (will turn 23 in September)Travis Homer (can’t even legally drink yet and will turn 21 the day before the Hawks’ first preseason game in August).Basically, long gone is the time when the Seahawks had someone, anyone, in the running back room was a highly experienced veteran who had been in the league for years. Even after the retirement of Marshawn Lynch following the 2015 season, the Hawks had running backs over 25 on the roster, including names like Christine Michael, Marcel Reece, C.J. Spiller and Eddie Lacy.Another position where they have traditionally been manned by established veterans, is along the defensive line. It was not that long ago that youngsters like Frank Clark were having trouble earning playing time behind the likes of Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril C. J. Prosise Color Rush Jersey , however that has most definitely changed. As of right now the longest tenured defensive lineman on the Seahawks is defensive tackle Jarran Reed, who is still on his rookie contract. On the outside of the defensive line, the defensive end who has been with the team the longest is Branden Jackson, who hasn’t even been with the team for two full seasons since being signed to the team’s practice squad in late September of 2017. In short, the 2019 version of Seattle’s roster is slated to be very young at some positions, and the camp battles for jobs come August should be highly intriguing. Now we simply have to wait through the slow summer doldrums of June and July until training camp arrives.
