Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Geno Smith underwent imaging on Thursday evening after missing his second consecutive practice with nagging knee and hip injuries. On Friday morning, Adam Schefter reported that Smith received good news, and "shouldn't miss any time."

Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed after Thursday's practice that Smith was scheduled to visit a doctor and undergo imaging to determine the severity. Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune was the first to report that it was a knee and/or hip issue that was preventing Smith from practicing.

"He's working through a few things [injury] from the other day," Macdonald said after practice. "He'll get some imaging tonight [Thursday]. We'll see. We'll see what comes out of it," Macdonald concluded, declining opportunities to go into further detail.

The Seahawks took the practice field without Smith on Thursday evening and he later joined the team on the field in casual clothing, according to multiple media members in attendance. Backup quarterback Sam Howell received first-team reps in Smith's absence. Howell had an up-and-down practice, having thrown a pick-six touchdown to defensive back Tre Brown, per Michael-Shawn Dugar.

P.J. Walker is the only other quarterback on the Seahawks' 90-man roster. Thankfully the update arrived quickly and Smith won't miss any significant time. The Seahawks are scheduled to practice again on Friday. Smith could miss his third consecutive session, though we now know it's nothing to worry about.
