The Seattle Seahawks lost one player to the injured reserve this week, when running back Travis Homer was placed on the IR due to a hit to the ribs last Sunday. Coach Pete Carroll was asked about his status and those of the rest of the banged-up players during his Wednesday press conference.
“It’s a really uncomfortable injury,” Carroll said of Homer. “He’ll get better fast in a couple of weeks from now and we’ll just see if he can stand it. He’s as tough as you can get. If anybody can do it, he’ll do it.”
Linebacker Alton Robinson (knee) is eligible to return from the IR after Week 4, although it might take some more time before he is activated. “We’d like to see that,” Carroll told reporters. “He’s got to come back and show it. He’s been working to stay in shape and all of that. It may take a couple weeks to get him back in there.”
In better news, Carroll expects defensive end, Shelby Harris (glute), to make his return in time to face the Lions. “He’s back,” Carroll confirmed. “Because of the way things fell, he won’t go today. But we’re testing him out with the trainers today. I talked to him a little while ago, he’s anxious to play this week. He thinks he can do it, but he’s got to show.”
The latest injury report will be released later Thursday afternoon.
