Seahawks offensive line should be ‘full strength’ for wild-card round

The Seattle Seahawks offensive line should be ‘full strength’ for the wild-card round on Saturday, with all five starters back in the lineup.

The Seattle Seahawks could see their starting offensive line play together this weekend for the first time since Week 14. Seattle was without both tackle Brandon Shell (ankle/COVID-19 list) and guard Mike Iupati (stinger) in Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Coach Pete Carroll believes both players will be back for Saturday’s matchup against the Rams in the wild-card round.

“We’re going to be at pretty much full strength this weekend,” Carroll said during his Monday morning interview on 710 ESPN Seattle. “Brandon Shell will be back and Mike Iupati will be back and this will be fun to have all those guys back together. But if anyone has to come out, we’re OK . . .

“We’re very fortunate that we’re going to be back on track and full (strength).”

The Seahawks have Monday off before returning to practice on Tuesday to prepare to face Los Angeles in the wild-card round Saturday afternoon at 1:40 p.m. PT at Lumen Field.
