“He made a really good jump over the weekend and felt way better, but coming out of that, starting to go back to work with it, there’s not enough progress made,” Carroll said. “So it’s better for us to get him back and make sure that we don’t rush it back. And so we’re going to just take this time—it is a delicate thing, he’s got something going on in his neck—so we got to make sure that we do it really well. So we’re going to take care of him, it just seems like the right decision. The jump that he made was in his relief and he felt way better and all of that, but not ready to play it.”
Carroll said Carson could also end up on injured reserve, though that decision has not yet been made.
“Yeah, we’re looking at that,” Carroll said.
If Carson misses time beyond this week, the Seahawks should be getting Rashaad Penny back when he’s eligible to return from injured reserve next week.
“He’s going to be ready to go barring any setbacks, and he’s really hungry to play and help us,” Carroll said.
Carroll also said rookie cornerback Tre Brown should be back this weekend, though for that to happen, a roster move will have to happen by Saturday to activate him from injured reserve. Even without placing Wilson on injured reserve, the Seahawks have an open roster spot after waiving Tre Flowers earlier this week, so there’s room for Brown on the roster.
“He had a really good, solid week,” Carroll said… “So he’s ready to play and can play in the game.”
