Miller sits with sore foot; Avril practices | Seahawks Insider - The News Tribune
A vote to bring back T-Jack Second-year receiver Doug Baldwin did not mince words about wanting the Seahawks to bring back quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, recently cut by Buffalo. Baldwin’s affinity for Jackson makes sense because of the success he had with the Alabama State product during his rookie season, leading the Seahawks in receptions in 2011. “He’s loved in the locker room because of what he did for us in 2011,” Baldwin said. “He fought through injuries, and was able to put his best foot forward out on the field. And like I said, the guys in the locker room love him. And he’s got unbelievable knowledge about the game. So him just being able to be in the locker room and talk to the younger guys – I know he’s going to have a lot of insight for Russell (Wilson) because Russell is still growing.”

Coach Pete Carroll indicated it is not serious and said Miller got a lot of work in the OTAs and can sit these out to get prepared for the season — Miller had a boot on the foot. Carroll said the injury is not related to a foot injury Miller suffered last season.
