Year after bad injury AJ Finley ‘full-circle moment’ boosts Seahawks roster shot
His coach noticed all the work he did entirely at Seahawks HQ for 12 months to get back from a shredded knee that jeopardized his career.
AJ Finley's "full-circle moment" at the Seattle Seahawks' annual training-camp practice at Lumen Field highlights his remarkable return from a severe injury. Almost a year ago, Finley suffered a devastating ACL tear in his knee during a summer game, putting his football career and future with the Seahawks in jeopardy. Despite the setback, Finley displayed remarkable resilience, pushing through the rehabilitation process with determination.
He credited his strength coach, Wilson Love, for instilling in him the mindset to "never give up" and fight back against adversity. Finley's hard work and perseverance paid off, as he returned to the Seahawks' roster and even made a game-winning interception against the Los Angeles Chargers last season. On this memorable day in August 2026, Finley showcased his skills again, intercepting a pass thrown by Super Bowl-winning quarterback Sam Darnold, resulting in a touchdown and what would have been a game-winning score.
His teammates celebrated his return with immense joy, recognizing the milestone as a "full-circle moment." Finley's success is a testament to his unwavering dedication to the sport and his team, having battled through numerous challenges to regain his spot on the roster.
