Three Seahawks starters whose injuries have caused them to miss game action in recent weeks were full participants in Tuesday’s practice, with running back Chris Carson (hip), guard D.J. Fluker (calf), and safety Bradley McDougald (knee) working without limitation as Seattle prepares for its Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers at CenturyLink Field.
Carson and Fluker were both inactive for this past Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, but head coach Pete Carroll seemed encouraged Monday that the pair would be ready to play this week against Green Bay. McDougald, meanwhile, played against the Rams this past weekend but split play time with Delano Hill. Carroll said he’s optimistic that McDougald, who now has been listed as a full participant for two consecutive days, will be OK for this week’s game. McDougald echoed that sentiment while meeting with the media before Tuesday’s practice.
“I made out well, I feel good, I definitely don’t have any more talks of injury,” McDougald said. “I’ve been full-speed at practice. It’s a short week but we did a great job recovering, been rehabbing hard, and I’ll be ready to go.”
K.J. Wright (knee) was unable to finish this past Sunday’s game against the Rams. The linebacker did not participate in Monday’s walk-thru or Tuesday’s practice for the Seahawks. More clarity on Wright’s availability for this week’s game against the Packers should become apparent following Wednesday’s practice when Carroll again meets with the media.
Elsewhere on Seattle’s practice report, Hill (quadriceps), whose injury Carroll said came against the Rams, was a limited participant for a second straight day. Neiko Thorpe (groin) was limited Tuesday, marking the cornerback’s first practice since he was injured during a workout back in Week 8, a setback that’s forced Thorpe to miss the Seahawks’ past three games.
