Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Seattle Seahawks Injury Status Heading into the Regular Season

Inactive

Chris Spencer: Spencer tore a quad muscle in week two of the preseason and is unlikely to return before week four.

Walter Jones: Jones had exploratory surgery on his surgically repaired left knee. He missed most of training camp and all of the preseason. It is unknown when Jones will return to action.

Marcus Trufant: Trufant was placed on the physically unable to perform list prior to training because of a slipped disc in his back. He was not activated from the list prior to final roster cuts and is not available to return until after the bye week.

Star-divide

Questionable

Seneca Wallace: Wallace suffered a groin injury that looked serious at the time and kept him out of practice and the final preseason game. Look for his official status leading up to Sunday's game, because Seattle might activate Mike Teel and allow Wallace time to further heal.

Past Injuries

Deion Branch: Branch has missed practice time, but was active for all four preseason games. Missed time has been attributed to soreness, general and knee soreness. He is expected to be active and available in week one.

Nate Burleson: Burleson has looked full-speed and hasn't been limited by the torn ACL he suffered in week one of last season. He did play against Denver, and was not very active in the preseason, but it is assumed those decisions were precautionary.

Matt Hasselbeck: Hasselbeck appears fully recovered from a slipped disc that cost him most of 2008.

Patrick Kerney: Kerney had reconstructive surgery in his shoulder and then surgery to remove bone chips in April. The Seahawks have moved him to right defensive end in part to protect him. He is expected to start week one.

Cory Redding: Redding seems fully recovered from groin and knee surgery that ended his 2008 season.

Could be better...

All these names seem to be guys on the bubble one way or another for next season or the one after, except Trufant, even if its just the questions of fans.
I guess all we can do is cross our fingers on some of these guys.

I'm high on Teel...

And I don’t know why. Maybe I have this deep-rooted hope that he’s another 7th round diamond in the rough quarterback, who is going to sit for 3 seasons and then show up one year in training camp and rip the starting job right out of Seneca’s cold dead hands.

And this is coming from someone who loves Seneca Wallace. My offensive dream this year is that at some critical juncture of the season, we come out on our first drive after the half with Wallace running a no-huddle single wing option and ram the ball down the other team’s throat. Then when they overcompensate we cap it off with a double move bomb to Butler for 45 yards and the score.

I like Teel too

He has a good arm, he didnt look scared or confused, didnt look skittery, and looked like a rookie who needs some work.
I’d love to see him get some junk time reps this season. But we know that wont happen except if everything goes very wrong.
I do like Seneca, his talent has been totally wasted of course, but in a pinch, at least we dont have someone ancient or sack-scared sitting at number 2 like a lot of teams

nitpicked...

…the round Teel was taken because I was hoping it would be Rashad Jennings (not a big Jones fan) but as it turns out, for some reason Ruskell and company are better at these kinds of things than me…go figure.

It'd be nice...

But I’ll be surprised if they’re both back.

Nate might not have traveled to Denver,

but then again, none of the Seahawks did.

Andrew Raycroft for backup? Does not compute.
