RENTON, Wash. -- A quick injury-related check at Seattle Seahawks practice showed running back Leon Washington, receiver Deion Branch and receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh in pads and warming up as if intending to practice.

All three had injury questions this offseason -- none bigger than whether Washington would recover well enough from a broken leg to participate in camp.

Cornerback Josh Pinkard, fullback Owen Schmitt and newly signed offensive lineman Chester Pitts were watching warm-ups without pads.

Note: By "pads", I'm talking about shells -- the smaller pads worn under uniforms when teams practice in shorts. Seattle starts hitting Sunday.

More details as they come available.
