The Seattle Seahawks won’t be taking the field Week 11, enjoying a late bye to rest and recover. Coming off the heels of a huge Monday night victory over the San Franciso 49ers, coach Pete Carroll is hoping the team can make the most of the break.
“Yeah, I think we’re very, very fortunate,” Carroll said on Tuesday. “I always would tell you that they bye came at the right time because it did. It came when they gave it to you. We can make a good transition out of this, I think.”
Although Seattle escaped the San Francisco matchup with very few injuries – save for wide receiver Tyler Lockett – the extra time to recuperate could lead to the return of a number of players Week 12.
“I hate that we didn’t have our meetings today to have the fun of watching the highlights and the film like we like to do and have a good time and all that because the guys got to separate,” Carroll continued. “We just have to recreate that when we come back Monday.”
The Seahawks have a bonus practice Monday afternoon before reporting for the full work week on Wednesday to prepare to face the Eagles in Philadelphia. The game has been flexed to an early start, so adjust your schedules accordingly.
