Tweaks knee Ursua was sidelined at OTAs on Thursday after tweaking his knee, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Impact Coach Pete Carroll indicated the injury is not significant, so it looks like the team is just erring on the side of caution. Ursua has spent his first two seasons with Seattle, but primarily worked on the practice squad. He will look to earn a bigger role during training camp in 2021.

Back at practice Tuesday Ursua (leg) returned to practice Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ursua missed a full week of practice, and while we don't know what capacity he practiced in, it's a good sign for his Week 1 availability. There's a slight chance he doesn't make the 53-man roster in 2020 after the Seahawks signed Paul Richardson, so Ursua will look to finish camp strong to lock down his spot.

Goes to COVID list The Seahawks placed Ursua (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Ursua is the first Seahawk to land on the list, which means either he tested positive for the virus or had recent exposure to someone who did. As a rookie seventh-rounder last year, he played 11 offensive snaps in three games, catching his only target for 11 yards in the process. If Ursua makes the regular-season roster, he'll likely be no higher than fifth on the wide receiver depth chart.
