The Seahawks wrapped up a short week of practice on Wednesday as they get ready to host the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. It’s a big ask of players to play just four days after their previous game, but Seahawks coach Pete Carroll likes what he saw from his team this week.
“This week happens really fast,” Carroll said. “This is a big challenge for all the NFL teams to come back around Thursday night and play football. Our guys have worked really hard to do it. It’s a big shift in the in the mode of how we get prepared, and we’re trying to maximize recovery, so the guys are ready to go, and it seems like it’s worked out well. We feel like we’ve got the plan in and we’re ready to go. Tomorrow still counts, we’ve still got stuff to do, but we’re in good shape right now.”
The Seahawks have five players listed as questionable for Thursday’s game—running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle), nose tackle Al Woods (Achilles), safety Ryan Neal (knee), safety Joey Blount (back) and cornerback Tre Brown (illness)—and given the nature of the short week, Carroll said all are true game-day decisions.
“We just have to use every minute that we have, so we’re just waiting,” Carroll said.
In some very positive injury news, running back Kenneth Walker III did not have a game status designation on the final injury report, meaning he’s ready to play. Walker, who injured his ankle in a Week 13 win over the Rams, then missed Sunday’s game against Carolina, was a full participant in practice on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
