Update:
Seahawks HC Pete Carroll refuted the reports that LT Rees Odhiambo was hospitalized with what is believed to be a cardiac contusion – a bruised heart.
“He’s been released from the hospital,” Carroll said. “They took a good look at him. He does not have a bruised heart, which was out there. Whatever, somebody made that up. That isn’t what he has. He’s got a bruised sternum and he’s fine in all ways. We’re not sure what that means for the week but it’s nothing beyond that.”
