Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's happening today – Wednesday, Sept. 1 – for your Seattle Seahawks.

ESPN: Russell Wilson Could Set Career High In Passing Yards

After not playing the preseason, Russell Wilson should be fresh and ready to go for Week 1 against the Colts on Sept. 12. The 10-year veteran is always locked in, and this year should be no different.

But when he steps on the field, we'll get a glimpse of something we haven't seen before: Live action of Wilson in Shane Waldron's offense. Much has been made about the transition to Waldron as the new offensive coordinator, and ESPN's Dan Graziano thinks it could lead to a record-breaking season for Wilson.

On Wednesday, Graziano predicted one potential surprise for all 32 teams. For the Seahawks, he predicted Wilson would break his career high in passing yards. Wilson's previous career high came in 2016 (4,219), but he nearly broke that in 2020 (4,212).

Here's what Graziano wrote:

"Don't be surprised if ... Russell Wilson sets a career high in passing yards.

"His single-season high is 4,219 yards, set in 2016. Eight NFL quarterbacks surpassed that total in 2020. Wilson was ninth with 4,212, and there's an extra game this season, so you're sitting there saying, "No duh, Dan." The fact is, Wilson has never been a high-volume passer, just an incredibly efficient one. Coach Pete Carroll always wants his offense to lean on the run game as much as possible. But the hiring of new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, a Sean McVay disciple from the Rams, signals a desire to play faster and more up-tempo, and Wilson could end up throwing more just because there will be more plays."

Seahawks, Merging Players & Vets Host Military Huddle

The Seattle Seahawks and Merging Players & Vets (MVP) hosted a military huddle and workout on Aug. 26 at Lumen Field.

MVP, founded by Jay Glazer and Nate Boyer, allows former combat veterans and professional athletes to team up after their careers. MVP helps the veterans and athletes with the transition to a new chapter in their lives, through personal development, physical fitness and peer-to-peer support.

For the event at Lumen Field last week, military members of the Pacific Northwest joined Seahawks Legends and MVP military representatives for a workout and conversation.

Glazer and Boyer, along with John and Traci Schneider, Seahawks Legends Luke Willson and Edwin Bailey and current players Tyler Ott and Jon Rhattigan attended the event.

Blitz Continues Trip Across Washington For Kicks 4 Kids

Blitz's trip across Washington continued on Tuesday, as he made some great progress in his 346-mile journey.

DJ Supa Sam, the Seahawks' official in-stadium DJ, joined Blitz on his scooter ride Tuesday. The goal remained the same, though: raise money for Kicks 4 Kids, Blitz's charitable program for children and families that need shoes.

Welcome Home 12s, Viewing Party For Week 1 Schedule

On Sunday, Sept. 12, the Seahawks will host a viewing party for Seattle's Week 1 game against the Colts from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT. The event will be held in the Muckleshoot Plaza at Lumen Field, and there will be big screens, food trucks, yard games and more.

Guests must be 21 to attend the event -- we'll have beer and mimosas! -- and tickets are $20 per person. More information about the event and tickets are available here.

On Tuesday, Sept. 14, the Seahawks are taking over neighborhoods surrounding Lumen Field. Blitz and Gee Scott will make special appearances at restaurants in the area, handing out Seahawks schedule posters and "Welcome Home 12s" rally cards. The Seahawks community team will also be delivering employee-packed care packages to the Allen Family Center.

Friday, Sept. 17, of course, is Blue Friday -- so get out all your Seahawks gear and display it proudly. Blue Friday Happy Hour will be held at Elysian Fields, where fans can see live performances from Blue Thunder and the Seahawks Dancers, get some Seahawks gear and enter to win prizes. Oh, and the first 100 drinks are on the Seahawks.

The week concludes on Sunday, Sept. 19, when the Seahawks host the Titans at Lumen Field. Macklemore and Ayron Jones will perform the home opener concert as 12s return for their first regular season game at Lumen Field since the 2019 season.
