The Seattle Seahawks are in Week 3 of training camp. They have three practices open to the public on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Afterward, the Seahawks will travel to Los Angeles to face off against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday at 6:05 P.M. CT at SoFi Stadium for their first preseason game.

The Seahawks have two of their five starting offensive line positions, including center vacant. Their starter from a season ago, Evan Brown, signed with the Cardinals. They had an open competition between two players, including their fifth-round pick.

The Seahawks drafted Olu Oluwatimi 154th overall in the fifth round of last year’s draft. Oluwatimi served as the backup to Evan Brown in his rookie season. He played 16 games and started once in Week 7.

Oluwatimi competed against free-agent acquisition Nick Harris in spring practices and the first few weeks of camp. The competition was close as both players split reps with the first-team offense.

However, the competition will end since they signed a veteran offensive lineman.

The Seattle Seahawks signed a center with 77 starts

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Dolphins signed Connor Williams to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million and $3 million guaranteed.

Williams recently passed his physical after he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 14. He also received interest from the Ravens but ultimately chose the Seahawks. Seattle will be his third team after spending his first four seasons with Dallas and the last two with Miami.
