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.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
