Back in action
Oluwatimi (back) returned to practice Tuesday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Doesn't practice Tuesday
Oluwatimi (back) did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Oluwatimi has been working through back tightness, which caused him to miss the Seahawks' preseason opener against the Raiders on Thursday. His continued absence at practice puts him in jeopardy of missing Friday's exhibition contest against the Chiefs. Jalen Sundell drew the start at center Thursday and would be in line to do so again against Kansas City if Oluwatimi isn't cleared to play.

Ready for Sunday
Oluwatimi (knee/quadriceps) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Dealing with multiple injuries
Head coach Mike Macdonald stated Oluwatimi suffered a knee and quadriceps injury in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Oluwatimi suffered the injuries in the first half and was unable to return to the game. His absence on the offensive line was significant, with Seattle allowing 7.0 sacks to the Packers. His status for Week 16 against the Vikings will likely be clearer as the team gets closer to kickoff for that matchup.

ANALYSIS
Oluwatimi was selected by the Seahawks in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he apparently sustained a wrist injury early in training camp. Once he's healthy, Carroll indicated that Oluwatimi will have a chance to compete with Evan Brown to serve as the Seahawks' starting center.

Swooped up by Seattle
The Seahawks selected Oluwatimi in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 154th overall.
ANALYSIS
Seattle brings in Oluwatimi out of Michigan, who is about as seasoned as a college prospect can be. He started 49 games and was the anchor of Virginia's offensive line before joining the Wolverines and helping that line win the Joe Moore Award (nation's best offensive line) for the second year in a row. He's 309 pounds and can hold the point of attack. Look for Oluwatimi to challenge for the starting center role before too long.
