The Seattle Seahawks saw their plethora of depth at wide receiver slowly dwindle over the past few weeks.
The team lost Josh Gordon to suspension, Malik Turner to a concussion and Jaron Brown to a knee injury and a family matter, leaving them with just four healthy receivers on Sunday against the Eagles.
It looks like the team is nearing full health in time for Green Bay however, with Turner returning to practice on Wednesday.
Coach Pete Carroll reiterated how cautious the team is being with Turner, who suffered a concussion near the end of the Cardinals game and did not play against San Francisco or Philadelphia.
“It’s been a little touch and go to get him back,” Carroll said on Wednesday. “We’re taking great care of him to make sure that he’s right. He’s anxious to get going and see how he feels tomorrow.”
Turner has quietly been a strong contributor to this Seattle team, hauling in 15 receptions (on 22 targets) for 245 yards and a touchdown, while also holding a valuable role on the special teams.
He still has to make it through the week, and almost certainly will be a game time decision. If he is unable to go, the team may rely on rookie John Ursua to handle his role on the offense.
The Seahawks will look to move into the NFC championship game with a win on Sunday in Green Bay, with kickoff slated for 3:40 p.m. PT.
