Milroe is not predominantly parked in shotgun throwing to guys with no functional shot to make the roster; Brian Fleury has Milroe getting plays in with Elijah Arroyo and Jadarian Price, who have worked with the first- through third-team offense. Any thought of the Milroe package returning this year is contingent on Milroe being a threat as a passer; Fleury all but hinted at that in his press conference. The key in preseason will be whether Milroe gets a few snaps with the second-team offense and shows enough for the staff to be confident that if he has an odd snap in a regular season game, it is not an immediate tell that it's just a QB run or option play.

Second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe has had a positive training camp performance and was praised by offensive coordinator Brian Fleury for being statistically efficient passing the ball; Fleury left the door open for Milroe's involvement in the offense this season, stating 'Potentially. If he's going to be active on gamedays, we're going to have ways to use his skills to our advantage and surprise defenses with that,' though the decision will be based on how well he plays quarterback.

Second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe has had a positive training camp performance by most accounts. Offensive coordinator Brian Fleury praised Milroe for being statistically efficient passing the ball during camp and left the door open for his involvement in the offense this season. Fleury stated: 'Potentially. If he's going to be active on gamedays, we're going to have ways to use his skills to our advantage and surprise defenses with that.' The decision on Milroe's usage will be based on how well he plays quarterback.

Bailey, the second overall pick and first defensive player selected in the 2026 draft, has very strong DROY chances. In four of the last 10 seasons, the first defensive player drafted has won the award. Jets coach Aaron Glenn is not hiding his satisfaction with Bailey's energy, speed, and quickness off the edge. Bailey tied for the FBS lead with 14.5 sacks last season and could easily leave other top defensive rookies in the dust if his production carries over to the pros.

Second-year quarterback showing significant development in training camp depth chart usage. Milroe was almost exclusively limited to third-team duties last year but is now mixing in work with higher-level units: approximately 60% second-team reps, 20% third-team, and 20% first-team reps. This elevated opportunity with 1s and 2s in camp—rather than waiting for preseason—is critical for demonstrating meaningful progress before the preseason begins.

Second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe is receiving significantly increased reps with the first and second-team offenses during Day 6 training camp, mixing in approximately 60% second-team, 20% third-team, and 20% first-team snaps; this represents a major development from his rookie year when he was almost exclusively limited to third-team duties. Getting valuable reps with 1s and 2s in training camp is critical for his development, and if he avoids disaster, it could lead to a different preseason performance in a couple of weeks.

Milroe had his best throwing day in his two NFL training camps with the Seahawks on Day 4, breaking the pocket effectively under pressure and consistently looking downfield like a young Russell Wilson impression. He completed multiple throws in tight coverage, including a 30-yard touchdown pass over Jadarian Price's shoulder, a dart throw into the back of the end zone, a throw across his body in stride to Eric Saubert over the middle, and two additional outside throws in tight coverage. The source notes this was a strong performance after a purportedly tough start to camp.

Second-year quarterback whose rookie season intrigue fizzled out by Week 5 after an ill-fated option play led to a turnover; restricted to third-team offense throughout training camp and preseason, slotting in as third-string quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Development trajectory remains uncertain heading into Week 1, with questions about whether he can make enough strides to become QB2 over veteran Drew Lock, remain QB3 subject to healthy scratches, or see his Seahawks tenure jeopardized.

Milroe enters his second NFL training camp firmly entrenched as the number three quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. So far, there has been no evidence that Milroe is pushing Lock for the backup spot; Milroe almost always works with the threes and Lock the twos. However, the source notes the team 'surely won't complain if Milroe plays well enough to push Lock,' suggesting there is a theoretical path to the backup role if performance warrants.

Milroe had one of his best passing days at Seahawks training camp on Day 4, showing improvement in decision-making and anticipation. He completed a rollout TD pass to Cody White in seven-on-seven, a dart to tight end Eric Saubert, a completion to rookie running back Jadarian Price, and a TD to second-year receiver Ricky White III during red-zone work. Cooper Kupp noted that Milroe has 'settled into' the mental demands of the offense and is 'letting some balls go with anticipation that he wasn't last year,' indicating tangible progress in his second NFL training camp.

Some notes from Seahawks practice today... DNPs: Julian Neal, Jamie Sheriff, Josh Jones, Jake Bobo, Jarran Reed. Jalen Milroe has had some rough days, but this wasn't one of them. Maybe his best practice I've seen with Seattle. A few really nice throws.
