Pete Carroll: ‘We’re about as healthy as we could get’
RENTON — The Seahawks expect to have all 53 players on their active roster available for Sunday’s game as running back Marshawn Lynch and cornerback Jeremy Lane are each considered certain to be available.
Lynch was limited on Wednesday with a sore back while Lane — a reseve — sat out Thursday’s workout with a sore knee.
“We’re about as healthy as we could get,” coach Pete Carroll said.
That goes for more than just this week, but also this season. Seattle has lost only five players to injury since the regular season began, most of them reserves.
“We’re very, very fortunate,” Carroll said. “You’re going to look at I think the same 11 on both sides that started the season.”
Carroll said that Marcus Trufant will be the team’s fifth defensive back used in nickel formations.
