Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is not expected to miss any time after tests for knee and hip injuries did not reveal any significant damage, ESPN reported on Friday.

Smith didn't take part in the Seahawks' walk-through Wednesday and watched from the sideline on Thursday when the team resumed practicing in pads.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Smith has been "working through a couple of things from the other day."

With Smith out, offseason acquisition Sam Howell -- who came over in a March trade with the Washington Commanders -- took first-team reps on Wednesday and Thursday. Former Carolina Panthers signal-caller PJ Walker is Seattle's third-string QB.

Smith, 33, completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 3,624 yards with 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 15 games last season. He was named to his second straight Pro Bowl last season.
