Seahawks

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll admitted that MLB Bobby Wagner (pectoral) could have played in their Week 6 game against the Panthers, but they decided it was best to hold him out of the lineup.

“He could have gone out there and played, played kind of hampered, and that wasn’t the right decision,” Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “The decision was to hold him out and hope he can make it for the Thursday game.”
