The Seattle Seahawks have won three games in a row to lead the NFC West with a 5-3 record on the year. Coach Pete Carroll provided some additional good news during his Wednesday press conference – the team is getting healthier and should see the return of a number of players to start the second half of the season.
“We’re bouncing back here,” Carroll told reporters. “Cranked to get going here and I can feel a couple guys coming back to us. Hopefully, we can keep working on the health of the club and all.”
Carroll mentioned wide receiver Penny Hart and center Austin Blythe, in particular.
“There’s a chance that Penny Hart gets back out there and that’s a good boost,” Carroll continued. “Austin looks like he can work today so that’s a real positive for us. So we’ll see if we can keep building and get ready for a championship opportunity going down there in Arizona.”
In addition, cornerback Tre Brown has returned to practice and is expected to be activated back to the roster in the near future.
The first official practice report of the week will be released later this afternoon.
