Seahawks battling injuries at running back spot entering Week 14

The Seattle Seahawks are banged up at the running back position heading into the Week 14 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

The Seattle Seahawks are looking pretty decent in the injury department, save for the running backs, who have been hit pretty hard over the last week.

Seattle faced off against the Rams with one back down already – Travis Homer – who was inactive on game day. Homer was listed on the injury report with a knee and an undisclosed illness.

Coach Pete Carroll was able to provide some updated information during his Wednesday press conference.

“Homer looked good today in the walkthrough, he’s going to practice today,” Carroll told reporters. “That’s a real positive for us.”

However, Carroll confirmed that neither Kenneth Walker III or DeeJay Dallas would be able to participate to start the week. Both suffered ankle injuries in Los Angeles.

“He’s rehabbing all day long, every day, doing everything he can do to get right,” Carroll said of Walker, who’s dealing with an ankle jam. Carroll said he didn’t know yet if Walker would be ready by the Panthers matchup this Sunday.

Dallas, on the other hand, has a shot to return. “If you talk to him he does,” Carroll said. “He was kind of bouncing around today. He didn’t take any snaps in walkthrough, but his attitude is exactly what you want.

“He’s determined to get back, so we’ll see what happens.”

3 Seahawks suffer ankle injuries in 44-34 loss to Bills Week 9

Three Seattle Seahawks defensive players suffered ankle injuries in the team’s 44-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

The Seattle Seahawks dropped to 6-2 on the season after falling to the Bills in Buffalo Week 9. Seattle’s defense played sub-par at best, and to add insult to injury, three defensive players suffered ankle injuries during the contest.

“We did a couple ankles today,” coach Pete Carroll said after the loss. “K.J (Wright), D.J. Reed looked twisted. We have to see how those turn out. Bryan Mone had an ankle also so we had a little bit of a run on ankles today.

“We do know we had three guys sprain ankles.”

Carroll also said cornerback Quinton Dunbar was battling to play through a sore knee but was needed on the field.

Carroll will likely have more in-depth injury updates during his press conferences on Monday.
