The Seattle Seahawks could be without left tackle Russell Okung and right guard J.R. Sweezy for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals.
Sweezy missed a second straight practice on Thursday after apparently suffering a concussion in last week’s game against the St. Louis Rams. On Wednesday, Okung participated in the team’s walkthrough and was limited in practice, but was unable to take part in practice on Thursday due to a strained calf that forced him to miss the Rams game.




Makes you curious as to how long they may leave Wilson in the game. Seattle doesn't really have much to play for. They are going to have to win three road games to get to the Super Bowl no matter what and I can't really see them being too concerned about playing either Washington or the winner of the NFC North. Also I can see both teams holding the playbooks back a bit in anticipation of meeting in the playoffs. I think K9 was right when he said this may take on the look of a glorified preseason game.

Fine by me if they have injuries. I want to see Skippy on his butt as often as possible. And, since we TV viewers will be subjected to countless shots of Carroll, I want him to see him looking really unhappy.

I hope they DO NOT bench Wilson. After the game at UofP last year, it would be highly satisfying to see Wilson take some big hits.

I hope they do. If they bench Wilson, then we bench Palmer before the half. Stanton gets some valuable minutes and we still get the win. Best of all worlds.

Fine. But I hope he plays at least one series and we knock the damn tar out of him.

Does it benefit Seattle to play their starters, and go all out to win?

If they lose they go to min or gb, they already beat down min, and right now is gb a bigger challenge than washington?

Plus if they are the 6 seed they see carolina in round 2, I would feel better about that than at cards in round2.

They could go to Carolina in round 2 if they are a 5 seed as well. The only way they don't is if the 6 seed also wins.

missing O-Line starters did not work out so well for the last team that played us that way

The game means something to us period. We want to sweep a hated division rival that has owned the division for years and make a statement, also keep on rolling in the winning groove and hit the playoffs in stride. The last thing we need is to take a few weeks off and have a rusty bad game in the playoffs. Keep this winning train moving along don't let up!
