Team news: Seattle Seahawks | Page 12

During his radio hit on KIRO 97.3 FM Friday, Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said that QB Russell Wilson (finger) will start Week 10 at Green Bay. Carroll also said WR D'Wayne Eskridge (concussion) is likely to play, while RB Chris Carson (neck) is a game-time decision.

The Seahawks offense survived without Russ and appear to be on their way to being full strength for the first time since Week 1.

Broncos TE Noah Fant has been removed from the COVID-19 list.

Fant will go back to his starting role with the Philadelphia Eagles coming to Denver Sunday.

Russell Wilson is back. The eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback has been sidelined since fracturing a finger in his throwing hand in the Seattle Seahawks' loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, and has been on injured reserve ever since, working his way back to taking the field. His goal was to be ready for Week 10 when the Seahawks take on the Green Bay Packers, and he's achieved it, being medically cleared to start on Nov. 14, per CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora.

Wilson has gone through his pregame on-field routine each week the story said. With Smith under center the team went just 1-2 so Wilson is coming back just in time and he should resume his status as a fantasy QB1 starting this week.

Broncos TE Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) is questionable for Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Noah Fant's availability is already in question, so no Albert O would be devastating for an offense desperate for players against the high-powered Cowboys offense.

Broncos TE Noah Fant plus Bills practice squad QB Jake Fromm and WR Tanner Gentry were all placed on the COVID-19 list due to a positive test.

As Yates went on to say, in order for Fant to be eligible to play on Sunday, he’d need two negative tests 24 hours apart before their game against Dallas.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson‘s recovery from surgery on his right middle finger took a step forward on Monday.

Wilson tweeted a picture of one of the pins that he had removed from his finger and captioned it “No more pin. Time to Win.”

The Seahawks have a bye this week and Wilson will be eligible to return when they face the Packers in Week 10, the story said. Week 10 seems to have been the target date for Wilson since the injury but we likely won't know more until the middle of next week once the team is back from their bye week.

HC David Culley says Tyrod Taylor and Pharaoh Brown's status vs. Miami is "day-to-day."

Related players: Davis Mills

Culley says that Taylor, who has been designated for return off IR, did take some first-team reps last week. Taylor appears to be close to a possible return and the team has said he'll get the job back when healthy. That remains to be seen. Mills threw for over 300 yards and two TDs trying to play catch-up in a loss to the Rams this past week.

Jaguars’ HC Urban Meyer said WR D.J. Chark will be out the rest of the season with the fractured ankle he recently suffered.

It's a huge loss for the Jags and QB Trevor Lawrence. Jones looks like he'll be the WR1 going forward. Shenault has had mixed results with Chark out of the lineup so far. Agnew and Austin will look to battle for WR3 snaps, which could have significance as the Jags are expected to play from behind a lot the rest of the season.

Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater (foot/quad) is questionable for Week 7 at Cleveland. Bridgewater was stepped on while completing a TD pas to Noah Fant.

Neither Cleveland or Denver has very positive QB situations at the moment. Broncos HC Vic Fangio thinks Bridgewater will player Thursday, but at this point we may not know until 90 minutes before kick-off.

Mike Tomlin said that his “heart aches” for JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is playing on a one-year deal, but that he is also excited about the “big opportunities” that now exist for players like James Washington, Ray-Ray McCloud, and Cody White to make their mark on offense.

As we've said earlier this week and as the story pointed out, Washington could get the first crack at the job. McCloud did have one catch for a yard in Week 5.
