The bigger concern could be the list of injuries the Super Bowl champs are suddenly dealing with now.
"I think we're still working at it. Sometimes it takes quite a while before you find it and we're not quite there yet because we haven't found the consistency," Carroll said.
Wagner was having a stellar start to his third season. He had double-digit tackles in Seattle's first three games and collected the only sack in the Seahawks' win over Washington last Monday night.
The Seahawks seemed more concerned with trying to get the ball to Harvin — who had six total touches for (minus)-1 yard — than relying on Lynch,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping.
Along with that injured trio,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, tight end Zach Miller is not expected to be back this week after having ankle surgery during the bye week.
Maxwell was originally thought to have a high ankle sprain after going down in the second quarter on Sunday, but was diagnosed Monday with a calf strain that should get him back on the field sooner than first expected.
Cornerback Byron Maxwell, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner and center Max Unger are all in question for Sunday's game at St. Louis with a variety of injuries.
"(It) could be. We'll have to wait and see,Jerseys Cheap Wholesale," Carroll said. "We'll have to assess that and figure it out."
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Wagner is "banged up,Wholesale Jerseys," and didn't rule out that the injury could be similar to the one suffered by left tackle Russell Okung last season in Week 2 that required surgery and a stint on injured reserve. Okung returned later in the season.
KCPQ-TV in Seattle reported Monday that Okung has been playing with a torn labrum in his shoulder suffered in Week 3 against Denver. Carroll didn't confirm the report, but said Okung suffered a shoulder sprain and should be able to continue playing without issue.
Lynch didn't have a carry between the end of the first quarter and Seattle's first offensive play of the second half, a span of 21 minutes, 59 seconds of game time.
The severity of Wagner's turf toe injury has not been determined, but could be the most significant. Wagner was injured early in the second quarter on Sunday, but returned in the second half.
"We know what we're trying to do. We know where it is and what it needs to be but we're just not quite there yet.
The Seahawks led the league in rushing entering Sunday, but the 18 total rushing attempts was the second time in five games Seattle failed to get 20 carries.
Marshawn Lynch touched the ball only 10 times. Russell Wilson threw for 66 yards after the first quarter and Percy Harvin finished with zero yards receiving despite making three catches.
The injury problems muted the concerns about Seattle's game plan against Dallas. Lynch seemed an afterthought as was most of Seattle's run game.
About the only good news Seattle received among its injured players is the expectation that cornerback Tharold Simon will have a chance to play against the Rams and that safety Kam Chancellor made it through Sunday's game without problems despite a strained hip.
Undrafted rookie Brock Coyle filled in when Wagner was out on Sunday. Seattle has used K.J. Wright at middle linebacker in the past when Wagner was sidelined, but Carroll would not commit one way or the other.
"We'll have to wait and see on that one," Carroll said.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — There were going to be plenty of questions about where the Seattle Seahawks are headed on offense after Sunday's 30-23 loss to Dallas.
Unger has a strained foot that kept him inactive on Sunday and his status against the Rams likely won't be decided till the end of the week.
Seattle was able to avoid major injury issues last season and when it did there was enough depth to plug the gaps until the starters returned. That depth was thinned through free agency and roster decisions in the offseason and is now being tested,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale.
Carroll took responsibility for the lackluster effort, that included problems getting off the field defensively on third downs,Cheap Jerseys From China, saying he didn't do a good enough job in preparation after the Monday night win over Washington. |
