Neal initially injured his knee in Seattle’s Week 13 win over the Rams and was able to play through it for two games, but the short turnaround before Seattle’s Week 15 game against the 49ers caused the injury, which Carroll described as bursitis, to worsen to the point that Neal reluctantly had to take some time off.
“I beat it up pretty bad in the Thursday night game, it filled up with fluid twice over the weekend, and after that it was just locked up, I couldn’t bend it anymore,” Neal said.
Said Carroll, “He’s been frustrated. He’s a high-energy guy, and he wants to be part of this game as much as anybody we’ve got. So he’s really grateful right now that he gets a chance to probably play in this game.”
The Seahawks have four players listed as questionable, though two of them, defensive end Shelby Harris (knee) and running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle/quadricep), did practice Friday, and Carroll sounded optimistic about both.
On Harris, Carroll said, “He got back out there today, looked good. We got a good look at him… I do think he’ll play, yeah.”
On Dallas, Carroll said, “He worked really hard today, was full-go.”
Also questionable are guard Phil Haynes (ankle) and cornerback Xavier Crawford (hamstring), neither of whom practiced Friday.
