RENTON, Wash. -- Jimmy Graham jogged out wearing his white Seattle practice uniform as usual on Wednesday.Except this time, Graham was wearing his helmet, too.When you are away from it for as long as Ive been, its very sweet when you get the opportunity to do it again, Graham said.Graham was activated off the physically unable to perform list by the Seahawks, another step in his recovery from his major knee injury last season. Coach Pete Carroll kept saying Graham was inching closer to a return, and one day after running back Thomas Rawls got back on the field, Graham joined in.Graham went through a light practice, doing some positional drills but not taking part in any full team work. It was his first time on the field with his teammates since Week 12 of last season when he tore the patellar tendon in his right knee in a game against Pittsburgh.Graham had surgery almost immediately after the injury and his right knee was completely immobilized for 11 to 12 weeks. The recovery from a patellar tendon tear can sometimes take up to a year but Graham was back on the field in less than nine months.There were some dark days. Its been eight months and its been a constant eight months, Graham said. Ive never been through something where every day you had to do something for it. Every day you wake up and until you go to bed youre doing some type of rehab. Its been like that for me for eight months and it will continue to be like that for me for the next eight months. Its something Im always going to have to pay attention to.Grahams injury happened as he attempted to pull in a pass in the end zone during Seattles victory over the Steelers. Seattle had struggled to find the best ways to utilize Graham even before the injury. Some games he was dominant over the middle. Some games he mostly disappeared.Graham already had four catches in the game against the Steelers before going down. He finished the season with 48 receptions and two touchdowns.The pain was pretty terrible. Thats for sure, Graham said. And when you look down at your knee and dont see your kneecap you know something is wrong.Now, the lingering question is whether he still has the speed and agility that made him such a difficult matchup prior to the injury. A number of players have been unable to return to form after a patellar tendon tear. New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, who had the same injury, told Graham not to rush his return.I dont think about how other guys have been or what its done to other guys, Graham said. I think Im a little different. Im still fast, which is real good.Graham now wants to start rebuilding his link with quarterback Russell Wilson. Its unlikely that Graham will play in the preseason and he jokingly said hes not allowed to say whether hell be ready for the season opener against Miami on Sept. 11.Its time for me to start that connection with Russ. I think we both felt it, Graham said. Ive been out here busting my butt every morning and every afternoon, so its time.Game notes Second-round pick DT Jarran Reed left the field Wednesday after appearing to have his left ankle stepped on during a drill.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Chicago Blackhawks got to celebrate twice Saturday night.Not bad for a team down three goals after 40 minutes.Marian Hossa scored late in overtime, capping a rally to overcome a three-goal deficit that gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.Hossa scored after Jonathan Toews apparent winner 31 seconds into OT was overturned on a video review that showed Chicago to be offside.Its tough, Chicago goalie Scott Darling said. You get that sigh of relief and all of a sudden its taken back from you.Hossa then beat Jacob Markstrom low blocker side 4:04 into OT for his 11th goal of the season.That came after Ryan Hartman tied it with 4:14 left in regulation following goals from Artemi Panarin and Vinnie Hinostroza earlier in the third. The 22-year-old Hinostroza got his first NHL points with a goal and two assists.We didnt panic, Hossa said. We knew there was still 20 minutes left and this team is able to score three goals in a period.Loui Eriksson, Bo Horvat and Brandon Sutter scored for Vancouver, which got 28 stops from Markstrom.Tough one, Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said. Getting a point against the Blackhawks should be a good thing for us, but tonight we should have had two.After Toews score was overruled, an end-to-end extra period continued. Darling stopped one chance by Vancouvers Markus Granlund, and then Sedin sent a shot off the post. The Blackhawks Patrick Kane was stopped on a breakaway before Darling came up with huge stops on Eriksson and Sutter, and then Horvat ripped another chance just wide.Thats probably the most exciting overtime Ive been a part of, Horvat said.Vancouver led 3-0 after two periods behind strong defensive play, but the Blackhawks got on the board 2:53 into the third when Panarin one-timed a cross-ice passs from Kane for his seventh of the season a few seconds after a Vancouver penalty expired.dddddddddddd Hossa also came close to scoring on the power play on a shot that hit the post.Chicago cut the deficit 1:13 later when Hinostroza, playing the 17th game of his career, stepped around defenseman Alexander Edler before scoring on his own rebound.Bryan Campbell also hit the post while the Blackhawks outshot the Canucks 17-3 in the third period, but Chicago didnt tie it until Hinostroza set up Hartman for his fourth of the season.Its a tremendous comeback, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. We didnt have anything going for two periods, we didnt generate much, didnt have any traffic.We got one and got a little excited.Eriksson scored on a power play in the first period, and Horvat made it 2-0 with 2:57 left in the second while killing a penalty. Alexandre Burrows stripped Toews at the Canucks blue line and chipped the puck ahead to Horvat, who beat Darling on a breakaway for his sixth goal.Sutter made it 3-0 later in the second off a feed from Sedin following a dump that eluded Chicago defenseman Michal Kempny.
