The big news from day three of Seattle Seahawks Organized Team Activities (OTA's) was that Jimmy Graham was running and catching passes. Head coach Pete Carroll added to that news in his Thursday press conference.

"Well, those guys are both making really good progress," he said. "Thomas [Rawls] is running and Jimmy is back to running on the field for the first time last couple days which is great."

As he indicated, injured running back Thomas Rawls has also resumed running. Rawls broke his ankle last season while Graham suffered a tear in his right knee and as expected, Rawls is slightly ahead of Graham in their respective recoveries. Regardless, the organization is in no rush to get either back.

"I think we'll probably ease into training camp with both guys, and Jimmy is a little farther behind than Thomas," Carroll said. "We won't rush them at that time."

They'll use the full amount of time possible to get them fully healed, according to Carroll, but does he expect them back in time for the regular season?

"We're thinking that's real possible," he said. "That's what we're thinking. We have to avoid setbacks."
