It’s been three months, but is the Seahawks’ starting secondary about to get whole?

The team designated Julian Love to practice from injured reserve on Wednesday. He was on the field for the start of drills four days before Seattle (9-3) plays the Falcons (4-8) in Atlanta Sunday (10 a.m., FOX television, channel 13 locally). That’s the next step in the Pro Bowl veteran safety playing for the first time since week four, Sept. 25 at Arizona.

Seattle also designated veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed and wide receiver Dareke Young to return to practice off IR.

Wednesday begins Love’s, Reed’s and Young’s 21-day window of practicing before the team must put them on the active roster to play or put on season-ending injured reserve.

The Seahawks have one opening on its 53-man active roster.
