Seahawks

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said DT Damon Harrison will have to wait at least another week to make his debut.

“He’s just working to get back in shape and make sure that his conditioning is right and all of that, as good as we can make it,” Carroll said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN. “He’s working on his weight and making sure that he’s as – like I said before – svelte as he can be.”

  • Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reports that some around the NFL wonder whether Seahawks HC Pete Carroll repeatedly confirmed their interest in signing Antonio Brown in order to coax another team into signing him.
  • Seahawks have officially ruled out G Mike Iupati from Week 7’s game against the Cardinals.
