Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images Seahawks starting left tackle Charles Cross is recovering from finger surgery and hopes to be ready for Week 1, multiple outlets reported Thursday.
Cross underwent a procedure Wednesday to repair a dislocated finger on his right hand after initially trying to play through the injury with a splint, per ESPN.
The expectation is that Cross, 24, will be ready for the Sept. 7 season opener against the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
A first-round pick (ninth overall) by Seattle in 2022, Cross started all 17 games last season and all 48 of his games through his first three NFL seasons.
In April, the Seahawks exercised the fifth-year option on Cross that will pay him a guaranteed $17.56 million for the 2026 campaign. He carries a $6.8 million cap hit in 2025.
