Wagner's situation is truly much more questionable because of the pectoral muscle injury he suffered last week against Cincinnati. He was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday, was limited on Friday in a light session in which players didn't wear helmets, after which head coach Pete Carroll said Wagner's status truly won't be determined until Sunday morning.

 

 

 

"He's tough enough to play with it, it's just whether it's the right thing to do, to get him back to health," Carroll said. "We need to judge that when we get right up to game time. With another game coming up on Thursday, we have to take that into account as well, it might be a tough turnaround if he does play. We'll just take in all the factors and figure it out."

If Wagner is unable to play against the Panthers, the Seahawks would likely move outside linebacker K.J. Wright to the middle, starting a domino effect of lineup moves. But further complicating the Seahawks plans if Wagner is out is the fact that backup inside linebacker Brock Croyle is also questionable with a knee injury. The Seahawks promoted linebacker Nick Moody off the practice squad earlier in the week to provide more depth, but Moody is doubtful to play after suffering an ankle injury in practice this week.

It's hardly an ideal situation for a Seattle defense looking to regain its mojo after a disappointing loss to Cincinnati last week, a game in which the Seahawks relinquished a 24-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

Though Carroll on Friday praised the rest of the Seahawks' linebackers (as defensive coordinator Kris Richard also did a day earlier), Wagner's importance to the Seattle defense cannot be understated. He's fast, aggressive and instinctive and the rare type of middle linebacker who is just as valuable in pass coverage as he is in run defense.

Probably depends a lot on the importance that they put on this game... which with their record is probably fairly high.

The injury sounds fairly severe (if he's not practicing), but probably just a pain issue... I'm sure he can probably play thru it, but the question is whether they want to take the chance on him hurting it worse for just one game, or let him rest it another week and be back after that.

    • 99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.  
    • Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.
    • They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
