Projecting Seahawks’ 53-man roster By BOB CONDOTTA Seattle Times I f a few unexpectedly good performances made projecting the Seahawks’ 53-man roster that much tougher after the fi rst week of preseason, injuries and a few staggers at Minnesota added to the challenge fol- lowing the second preseason game. But projecting is what we do here. So here’s our best guess at putting it all together after Sunday’s 25-19 loss to the Vikings. Quarterbacks Keep: Russell Wilson, Geno Smith. Cut: Paxton Lynch, J.T. Barrett Comment: Lynch didn’t have a ton of help against the Vikings, but also missed a few things that were there, and this didn’t feel like the big taking-advan- tage-of-an-opportunity that it could have been. I had the team keeping Smith after last week, anyway, since one week seemed like too little to make a change just yet. Smith didn’t play against the Vikings, but it sounds like he’ll be back for the Char- gers. This week could allow him to solidify the job — or leave it that much more open for the fi nal week of the pre- season, when Lynch and Smith will probably get all the snaps. Barrett isn’t a fac- tor yet. Running backs Keep: Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, Bo Scar- brough, Nick Bellore, Travis Homer. Cut: C.J. Prosise, J.D. McKissic, Xavier Turner. Comment: I’m adding Homer this week after he got healthy and showed a few things late in the game against the Vikings. For now, he may be the leader in the race for the third-down/ two-minute back spot with the inability of Prosise and McKissic to get healthy. Scarbrough didn’t play against the Vikings. But he was off to a nice start early in the Denver game and for now, I’m keeping him. Receivers Keep: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, Gary Jennings, David Moore, Jaron Brown. Cut: Jazz Ferguson, Amara Darboh, John Ursua, SPORTS IN BRIEF Oregon linemen named preseason All-Americans EUGENE — For the sec- ond time in as many days, Oregon’s top two offensive linemen earned preseason All-American honors. Ducks left guard Shane Lemieux was named a pre- season fi rst team All-Amer- ican by the Associated Press on Tuesday, and right guard/ tackle Calvin Throckmorton was a second team honoree. Lemieux and Throckmor- ton were both named fi rst team preseason All-Ameri- cans by Pro Football Focus on Monday. Stanford offensive line- man Walker Little and defensive back Paulson Adebo were the only other Pac-12 players named to the AP’s preseason fi rst team. — The Oregonian Hernandez to rejoin Mariners rotation this weekend ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Pitcher Felix Hernandez will rejoin the Seattle Mar- iners’ starting rotation this weekend, according to Man- ager Scott Servais. Hernandez has missed three months with right shoulder stiffness. He pitched 3-plus innings Monday night for Triple-A Tacoma in his fourth rehab appearance, giving up one run on four hits and three walks while striking out fi ve. “Command of the fast- ball, as expected, wasn’t as pin-point as he would have liked it, but he felt healthy,” Servais said. “So he will slide into our rotation on Saturday.” The 33-year-old righty last pitched for the Mariners on May 11. In eight starts this season, Hernandez is 1-4 with a 6.52 ERA. Hernandez won the AL Cy Young Award in 2010 and has fi nished among the top four in Cy Young vot- ing three other times. He has had injury setbacks in each of the last four seasons, win- ning a combined 26 games in 77 starts. — Associated Press Leinassar Dental Excellence Trusted, Caring and Affordable Dental Care Hear what loyal and new patients alike are saying... I am never comfortable visiting a Dental office. Your staff members made me feel at ease. Excellent care! I felt like I was given choices . Nice to know I have some say about treatment options. Just sorry I waited so long to visit your practice. - Gary Terry Wright, Malik Turner, Keenan Reynolds. Comment: I’m back to fi ve receivers, cutting Fergu- son this week after what was somewhat of a struggle of an outing against the Vikings — just two receptions on seven targets, including a drop and a fumble after one of his two catches. And I’m also going with the idea that Ferguson, Ursua and Wright could all make it through to the prac- tice squad. In fact, the rota- tions Sunday indicated that if there were to be a sixth receiver kept it would be Turner. The one big com- plication here, suddenly, is Metcalf’s health.
