Pete Carroll provides Seahawks injury updates heading into Week 10

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll provided a number of injury updates heading into Week 10 when some players are expected to return.

The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for a big trip across the pond in Week 10, slated to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Germany on Sunday. To start the work week, coach Pete Carroll provided a number of player injury updates.

The Seahawks came out of their Week 9 win over the Cardinals with only one new injury on the books, linebacker Cullen Gillaspia will require knee surgery.

“He’s going to have to get his knee fixed,” Carroll said on Monday. “I was just with him in the training room. It’s going to be a long haul. He had some pretty good news. It wasn’t as bad as we thought initially, but he’ll make his comeback.”

Other than that, Carroll expects to see a number of players return to practice this week and mentioned three in particular.

“We need to see Joey Blount come back,” Carroll told reporters. “He should be able to make it back with the quadricep that he had that happened in practice, and Marquise Goodwin is a guy that we are looking to see if he can get back this week. Darrell Taylor, we’ll see if those guys can return.

“I don’t know yet with what’s going to happen, but those guys all have their sights set on playing and so, we’ll see how that goes.”

The Seahawks practice Tuesday and Wednesday before departing for Germany.

Here is a quick run-down of their Week 5 moves before we get into today’s game.

Seahawks elevate one from practice squad, amend injury report

The Seahawks made a couple of changes on Saturday in preparation for today’s road game against the Lions.

The Seahawks made a couple of changes on Saturday in preparation for today’s road game against the Lions.

First, the team elevated Cullen Gillaspia from their practice squad. He’s been listed as a running back in the past but only seen action on special teams. Seattle is listing him as a linebacker so we should only expect to see him active on that third phase.

Additionally, the team made one change to their injury report. Backup guard Phil Haynes has been added to the report with a “questionable” designation. He was a full participant at Friday’s practice but is dealing with an ankle injury.

Report: Giants expected to move on from Eli Penny, Cullen Gillaspia

The New York Giants are not expected to retain fullbacks Eli Penny or Cullen Gillaspia as they seek a more traditional H-back.

With the New York Giants going through a severe cost cutting period as the NFL new fiscal year comes to end next Wednesday, players who would probably be brought back under normal situations are likely to be released or be allowed to enter free agency this year.

The Giants are still close to $8 million over the $208.2 million salary cap and the goal is create $40 million in available cap space as per new general manager Joe Schoen.

Two players the Giants are almost sure to let hit free agency are fullbacks Eli Penny and Cullen Gillaspia, reports Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post.

You can expect the Giants to replace Penny and Gillaspia with an H-back or a versatile tight end who can play multiple roles in the offense. The Giants will likely keep Kaden Smith as one of their tight ends and possibly Chris Myarick, who has the look of an H-back type.

Giants lose to Dolphins, 20-9: Instant analysis

Analyzing the New York Giants’ 20-9 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 13.

The New York Giants hobbled into their Week 13 matchup with the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. They hobbled out with another humiliating loss that is sure to further erode fan confidence and interest.

Mike Glennon was in at quarterback for the injured Daniel Jones (neck), who could be done the season. Jones is ‘week-to-week’ right now but reports indicate he could miss significant time depending on medical tests this week.

First-round draft pick Kadarius Toney and veteran wideout Sterling Shepard were both inactive again with quad issues, as was starting cornerback Adoree’ Jackson.

Right tackle Nate Solder (elbow), tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle), wide receiver John Ross (illness/quad) and fullback/special teamer Cullen Gillaspia (calf) all dressed but entered the game with ‘questionable’ tags.

Wide receiver Kenny Golladay left the game in the second quarter with injured ribs but returned in the second half.

The defense picked up where they left off last week against Philadelphia and carried the team the best they could, but the offense is still so pathetically bad that a 10-6 deficit after three quarters seemed insurmountable.

When Miami scored a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to extend their lead to 17-6, the game was essentially sealed. The final was 20-9.

Glennon is a professional backup and he has his limitations, which he showed several times during the afternoon. He got little help from his teammates and coaches in this game which didn’t help.

The Giants dropped to 4-8 on the year and have now lost eight or more games for the fifth straight season and in eight of their last nine.

Notes

  • The point spread at game time was Miami -7 with an over/under of 40. That was a layup given the way the Giants have played this year.
  • The nine points scored in this game were the lowest output of the season. They have scored 20 or fewer points in eight of their 12 games this year. They have not scored 30 points in a game this season.
  • The Giants committed just one turnover — a deep pass that was intercepted — and were flagged for just three penalties for 23 yards.
  • For the first time this season, the Giants did not have a takeaway.
  • The Giants surrendered a touchdown with 26 seconds remaining in the first half. They have now been outscored 52-0 in the final two minutes of the first half this season.
  • Graham Gano’s 51-yard field goal in the fourth quarter set a new franchise record for 50-yarders in a single season (6).
