Seattle is Getting Healthy

Considered one of the best teams in the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks begin the week needing to regroup after Sundays' 34-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
Coach Pete Carroll said he expects Pro-Bowl center Max Unger to participate in practice, with a goal that he will be healthy enough to start Sunday against the visiting Tennessee Titans.
Wide receiver Percy Harvin is in Seattle for the first time since having hip surgery in early August. When back in the depth chart, Harvin will add a ton of help on offense:

  • Harvin has returned a kickoff for a touchdown in each of his four seasons in the league
  • Harvin is a weapon than can be used to confuse opposing defenses

Harvin is not able to come off the injured reserve list until Week 7, when Seattle will play against the Arizona Cardinals.


Okung cannot come off injured reserve until Nov. 17, when Seattle will play Minnesota.
The Seahawks were just 2 of 12 on third down Sunday a week after going 3 of 14 against the Houston Texans during Week 4's slim overtime win.
With rookie Michael Bowie at RT and Paul McQuistan at LT, who is playing in place of Pro Bowl LT Russell Okung, Seattle’s offensive line has lacked solidity over the past two weeks.
