In a bit of good that could be related to one of those injuries, Carroll said that guard Gabe Jackson, who has missed the past two games with a hip injury, is on track to return this week. Getting a starting guard back is always significant, but it could prove particularly important if Haynes, who started the last two games in place of Jackson, isn’t cleared to return.
“He’s going to practice today, he’s ready go to,” Carroll said of Jackson. “He’s got to make it through the days, but he’s ready to go.”
Receiver Penny Hart, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, is expected to be out at least another week.
“Penny won’t make it this week,” Carroll said. “We met about it. He’s pushing so hard at it that he’s almost holding himself back a little bit. We’re going to take one more week and then next week we think he’ll really have a chance to come back.”
Carroll added that cornerback Sidney Jones IV, who was a late addition to the injury report last week, then was inactive for the game, should be back this week and ready to go.
3. Tre Brown’s return “will make us better for sure.”
Second-year cornerback Tre Brown is returning to practice this week for the first time since suffering a season-ending knee injury last year. And while his return to practice doesn’t necessarily mean an immediate return to game action, whenever he is all the way back, he’ll make an already deep cornerback group even better.
“I’m so excited to see him back out here,” Carroll said of Brown, who took over the starting left cornerback spot before his injury. “Remember, when he left, he was playing darn good football. He had just started to make his impression about it. He was really consistent, he was tough, he was competitive on the ball. He kept showing it in practice… Then he got hurt, so in my mind, I’m picking up where we left off and away we go and let him start battling and seeing where he fits into the competition. He’ll make us better for sure.”
4. Bruce Irvin will play more this week as the Seahawks look to keep the edge-rush rotation deep.
Second-year outside linebacker Darrell Taylor has a strip sack in each of the past two games, and in general seems to be playing better in recent weeks since the Seahawks have moved Boye Mafe into the starting lineup and moved Taylor into a feature pass-rushing role. Last week Seattle had even more depth at outside linebacker with Bruce Irvin making his 2022 debut, an addition that should only help all the outside linebackers…
