could receive a major boost along the offensive line in the next couple of weeks with Abraham Lucas closing in on a return from the PUP list to the practice field. "I need some more time to let you know on that," Macdonald responded. "There is a situation where he could come back and start practicing this week, but we haven't finalized that.

But it's looking good on the front with Abe. When he does come back, there is a process to get him ready to play, so even if he did start to practice, I think you're looking at a good chunk of practice time to get him ready to go. As insurance in case Lucas wasn't ready for the start of the season, Seattle proactively signed veteran George Fant to a two-year contract in March, providing a seasoned starter to fill the void and ensure the former third-round pick wasn't rushed back too soon.



However, Fant lasted just one quarter in the season opener before suffering a knee injury of his own, landing on injured reserve one week later and thrusting Stone Forsythe into the starting lineup. With the understanding Lucas wouldn't be ready to play against the Bills next week even if he does return to practice, Macdonald didn't commit to a starter at the right tackle spot on Monday. Reading through the tea leaves, however, he didn't seem overly optimistic about Fant being ready to return this week and Forsythe's status also remains uncertain, making it seem most likely Jerrell will earn a second straight start.
