The Seattle Seahawks had a fairly lengthy injury report to finish out the practice week before the Monday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
While a number of players were battling injuries, quite a few popped up on the report with an “illness” that coach Pete Carroll said was “going around” the team.
“It’s been an interesting week for us, the practices have been really good,” Carroll told reporters Saturday after the walkthrough. “We’ve had some guys that have had the illness that’s going around. So, we’ve kept some guys out. Everybody we think of those guys are going to play. There’s no reason that they won’t other than they feel lousy. It’s been a very good week and very pointed.”
Carroll said he allowed a few players to stay home in an attempt to quarantine those who were sick.
Players listed on the report with an “illness” included linebacker Shaquem Griffin, defensive tackle Poona Ford, cornerback Tre Flowers, guard Jordan Roos and wide receivers Tyler Lockett and David Moore.
Carroll did confirm there were no new cases of the illness as of Saturday and he expects all the impacted players will be available against the Vikings Monday night.
Seattle and Minnesota kick-off at 5:15 p.m. from CenturyLink Field.
