Jon Ryan is off the injury report, meaning he figures to play vs. Arizona.
Michael Bennett and Seattle’s pass rush could have a good day vs. Arizona.
The Seahawks are aiming for the fourth perfect home season in their history.
What has happened to the Cardinals this season?
Bennett was fined for his “three pumps” dance.
Pete Carroll was surprised Richard Sherman showed no contrition publicly about his outburst last week.
What’s up with Sherman? Plus other Week 16 questions.
Cliff Avril made the Pro Bowl for the first time, alongside Bobby Wagner, Michael Bennett and Richard Sherman.
Sherman’s sideline rant from the last game is still a big topic, which Sherman doesn’t like.
Darrell Bevell said he and Sherman have talked and are in “a good place.”
Earl Thomas reiterates he has not ruled out retirement.
The Seahawks could win the NFC West this week.
The Seahawks put Earl Thomas on IR and brought back Jeron Johnson, who was with them in 2011-14.
Pete Carroll offered injury updates on Paul Richardson, Luke Willson and more.
The Seahawks, who have been scrambling for running backs since releasing Christine Michael, will see him again this week. He’s not concerned with payback.
Apparently Pete Carroll was right: That dud in Tampa in Week 12 was an exception to the Seahawks’ new rule.
Their explosion in a prime-time payback game vs. Carolina was their third season-best performance in the past four weeks.
In the 40-7 blowout, they set season highs for points and rushing (240) and total (534) yards as Thomas Rawls and Tyler Lockett showed what they can do when healthy.
On a night Marshawn Lynch showed up on the sideline, Rawls had his best game of the season: 106 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.
The Seahawks are getting back a bunch of injured starters.
The Panthers, meanwhile, still have all kinds of injury issues.
Ron Rivera called the offensive line “a catastrophe.”
The Seahawks are going with Bradley Sowell at right tackle.
Here’s a full preview of #CARvsSEA.
Richard Sherman called this season “karma” for Cam Newton.
Russell Wilson talks fatherhood and playing through yet another injury.
Wilson, limited in practice for the first time ever, said he plans to play in New Orleans.
Looks like Kam Chancellor and Kevin Pierre-Louis will be out again this week. Chancellor has missed the past two games.
Sherman Smith basically called out Christine Michael for running out of bounds and not bringing the physical attitude the Seahawks prefer.
Tom Cable said Germain Ifedi made a “big jump” last week and Garry Gilliam needs to be more physical.
K.J. Wright says playing Madden made him a smarter player and he played his best game of the season at Arizona.
Bobby Wagner says hot yoga is part of his recovery routine and he is taking better care of his body than he ever has.
Over the offseason, the Seahawks talked about tweaking their defense to account for the short passing attacks some savvy offenses have used to beat them.
Although Miami and the Jets worked the short game with some success in the first month, they didn’t do it well enough to beat the Seahawks. But now the Hawks are about to face their first big test against a quarterback and skill players who are capable of beating them the way Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton and Cam Newton have in recent seasons.
Sure, Atlanta’s 300-yard man, Julio Jones, will have a fun matchup against Richard Sherman. But the Falcons the Hawks need to be most concerned about are running backs Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman.
The Seahawks’ defense has put together an unprecedented run — becoming the first modern NFL team to go four straight years as the No. 1 scoring unit.
After Seattle shut down Arizona 36-6 in the 2015 season finale to clinch the top spot again, a beaming Pete Carroll said, “I don’t know if there is a record that I could be more proud of than to see our guys go for four straight years and lead the league in scoring defense. I think that is a remarkable accomplishment by a bunch of guys dedicated to the program and what we are doing.”
Carroll’s defense also has given up the fewest yards over the last three years, ranking first in the 2013 and 2014 Super Bowl years and second last season.
That’s a pretty darn good run of defense — and yet the Seahawks know they can become more consistent if they can cover their Achilles’ heel.
Because they have so many veterans on the unit now, the coaches apparently are finally planning to address the soft underbelly of their defense, which has been prone to giving up big chunks of yards and too many touchdowns to tight ends, running backs and slot receivers.
Their plan to fix that issue figures to be one of the big stories of training camp, which begins Saturday.
With training camp starting in one week, let’s look at some pre-camp player reports:
Michael Bennett is griping about his contract yet again. But don’t believe him when he says, “Just get rid of me.”
Russell Wilson, who now looks almost as hulked up as Robert Turbin, told Q13 Fox: “We’ll try to bring back Super Bowl 51 if we can. We’ll do everything we can, every day. That’s a promise.”
Justin Britt’s switch to center is one of the major camp stories to watch.
Pete Carroll reminds us why the Seahawks think J’Marcus Webb will succeed with them.
Can Thomas Rawls take over for Marshawn Lynch — even if he doesn’t play in the preseason?
John Clayton projects Rawls to get 16-17 carries a game, with the other backs getting six or seven.
Christine Michael — among those trying to replace Lynch — admits, “I was just being a young guy, just being a knucklehead.”
Like last year, all eyes will be on Jimmy Graham — from camp through the season.
Bob Condotta runs down all of the records Russell Wilson is setting or could set.
We don’t care much about the overblown Pro Bowl, but the Hawks tied a team record with seven guys. Michael Bennett, Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman and Tyler Lockett were very deserving.
K.J. Wright did not make the Pro Bowl, but he did get engaged this week.
Condotta also details the various scenarios for the Seahawks landing the No. 5 or 6 seed. Most people seem to think the only bad matchup would be Seattle as a No. 6 seed at Green Bay. But odds are the Hawks will end up the No. 5 seed at Washington or Philly.
The Seahawks have beaten the Rams in Seattle 10 straight times. Todd Gurley will get his first action vs. Seattle.
