Seahawks' Tharold Simon: Lined up as starting RCB during offseason program

Simon (toe) "hasn't missed anything" this offseason, according to HC Pete Carroll, and has been operating as the starting right cornerback in the Seahawks' base defense during their offseason program, The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis:

Simon lost the near-majority of the 2015 campaign due to a dislocated toe, but Carroll has since declared Simon healthy and reported that he has taken "all the snaps" opposite Richard Sherman with the Seahawks' first-team defense. Jeremy Lane was expected to be in the mix to start outside, but has reportedly only worked out of nickel and dime packages during the offseason program. Thus, the starting job appears to be Simon's to lose.
