Injuries: Malik McDowell reports to Seahawks camp

Malik McDowell is finally back in Seattle.

The Seahawks' second-round selection reported to training camp Thursday and was added to the non-football injury (NFI) list.

The rookie defensive tackle failed to show when camp opened on Sunday after suffering a concussion and facial injuries in an ATV accident, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and James Palmer reported. The team added that the incident occurred a couple of weeks ago and subsequently placed McDowell on the reserve/did not report list.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll characterized McDowell's injuries as a long-term issue and didn't provide specifics on when he might be healthy. He said he wasn't sure if McDowell could play this season.

Here are the other injuries we're monitoring on Thursday:

  1. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill left practice after suffering a non-contact left knee injury.
