The Seattle Seahawks have been battling a number of injuries over the last couple of weeks, but coach Pete Carroll was able to provide some good news after the Seahawks’ 20-7 loss to the Raiders in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
“We should get a real boost this week of guys returning to us,” Carroll said.
Rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge and running back Travis Homer are both expected to be activated off the Seahawks’ physically unable to perform list this week.
Eskridge, Seattle’s highest draft pick this year, has been suffering from a toe injury since the Seahawks’ OTAs earlier this spring.
“We’re going to take the wrapping off of him next week,” Carroll told reporters. “We’re excited to get him back. He looks fantastic in his workouts. He looks great. We’ve got to make sure before he really gets into full-speed action that he’s back and in condition for that, but as far as his power and his strength, all that kind of stuff, he’s back. We’re really looking forward to that.
“Travis Homer is at that same point too. Both of those guys are ready to bounce back next week.”
Homer, now in his third season, has been sidelined with a calf issue.
The Seahawks return to practice Monday, although there is no media availability until Tuesday.
