If the Seahawks are going to keep six wide receivers, the news keeps getting worse for Skyler Fulton and better for Ben Obomanu. Obomanu has continued to impress coaches and attendees of Seahakws minicamps, while Fulton has remained injured.

Last Tuesday (6/13), Gregg Bell, of the Associated Press, reported:
"Fulton's big test comes Thursday, when he travels to the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Ala. There, he will test his shoulder's strength, which he said was "next to nothing" when the Europe season ended last month.
He raised his right arm above his head and rotated it painlessly on Tuesday. But he must pass strength tests before the Seahawks will let him practice at training camp in six weeks."

The article also reports that Fulton reached an injury settlement with the Vikings last year after they waived him.

Mack Strong highlighted the importance of minicamp for the young players in the latest installment of The Strong Report.
"It was a chance for a lot of younger guys – draft picks and free agents – to get a lot of reps and learn how our offense works. Everybody needs to be familiar with the system, because once you get to training camp you don’t really get as many opportunities, especially as a younger guy. Veterans are getting most of the snaps. The staff still expects you to be able to know what you’re doing when you get the opportunities. It was good for them to get to know us, and us to get to know them. It was good for them to get a head start, and it gives them that much more of an edge to make the football team."
