Seahawks injury updates: Dee Eskridge, Geno Smith, Rashaad Penny

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll gave a few injury updates in his press conference following today’s practice.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll gave a few injury updates in his press conference following today’s practice.

First, backup quarterback Geno Smith is still out after sustaining a concussion in Saturday night’s loss to the Raiders. Smith got rocked in the first quarter on a cornerback blitz and had to leave the game not long after. Carroll says he stayed home today.

On a positive note, wide receiver Dee Eskridge has been activated from PUP and was at practice today. Carroll thinks he will be ready to go Week 1. Meanwhile, running back Rashaad Pennny is on track to play against the Broncos on Saturday.

Carroll also said cornerback D.J. Reed won’t play but could be back next week.

As was previously reported by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, Carroll confirmed that tight end Colby Parkinson won’t require surgery on the foot that was broken last year and got re-aggravated last week.

Dee Eskridge, Travis Homer expected to be activated off PUP List

Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver Dee Eskridge and running back Travis Homer are expected to be activated off the Seahawks PUP List this week.

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.

Seahawks rookie WR D’Wayne Eskridge now running without problems

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge is now running without problems but still remains on the PUP list with a toe injury.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge has yet to practice this summer after starting training camp on the team’s physically unable to perform list with a toe injury.

Coach Pete Carroll has been monitoring the situation carefully and providing regular updates on the rookie’s progress.

“He had a really good day again,” Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “This was the fifth day in a row of him running and conditioning without any problems. That’s a really good sign.”

Eskridge injured his toe earlier in the year during the Seahawks OTAs and hasn’t been able to return to the field since. Carroll sees no reason to rush the first-year player just yet.

“We’re trying to make sure – because he has not been able to run in a conditioning manner over the offseason like we would like – we’re trying to make sure he’s in good shape so once he’s back out here he can sustain,” Carroll explained. “It’s all very positive and he’s going in the right direction.”

Luckily for Seattle, the Seahawks are fairly deep at the receiver position heading into the first preseason game this Saturday in Las Vegas.
