Doug Baldwin – Noteworthy
WR Doug Baldwin’s health, coming off an MCL sprain, remains a topic of concern, and head coach Pete Carroll said his one-catch performance last Sunday wasn’t impacted by lingering injuries and the ball “just didn’t go to him.” The Seahawks only threw 21 passes against the Rams, thus limiting his opportunities, and the veteran receiver finished with one catch for 1 yard.
K.J. Wright – Noteworthy
LB K.J. Wright will be out at least one more week. The Seahawks don’t want to rush the Pro Bowler back into the lineup with the bye week coming after Sunday’s game in London. Coach Pete Carroll said he’ll be “running hard this week,” but it’d be too much to ask him to return this weekend and he’ll miss his sixth consecutive game recovering from knee surgery.
Rashaad Penny – Noteworthy
RB Rashaad Penny has grown “frustrated” by lack of playing time, as he didn’t log an offensive snap against the Rams last Sunday with Chris Carson and Mike Davis running so effectively. Head coach Pete Carroll said Perry has handled the situation with class and he’s excited for Penny to “get in there and get going too.”
Tedric Thompson – Noteworthy
FS Tedric Thompson, in his first NFL start filling in for injured Earl Thomas, had seven tackles and an interception. But he also missed several tackles and dropped a potential interception in the second quarter, leaving plenty of room for improvement heading into his next start versus the Raiders.
Tre Flowers – Noteworthy
CB Tre Flowers continues to impress, as he deflected a pass at the goal line in the first quarter against the Rams and DE Frank Clark eventually hauled in the interception. He also recovered a fumble, but the play didn’t count because of a defensive penalty on teammate Justin Coleman.
