Do we get Willson back this week?

[sutz]

Haven't heard yet. Was he mentioned in Pete's Monday presser?

 

[DeeHawks]

I haven't heard or seen anything on him returning yet. Hopefully he comes back, we sure could use him. Something should be out about this by tomorrow I would think.

yeah, I think Wed is the first day they have to declare injury status

Pete said in in presser that we will get Luke back this week.... you have to actually listen what he says and not just look at his charming good looks and professional demeanor. #gohawks

 

[sutz]

Thanks ryno. I have to admit that I missed it. :229031_shrug:

 

[SeaChase]

Do we get Russell back this week? :stirthepot:

 

[Scottemojo]

I would expect him back.

Dirty ass Rams.

If we can come out of this Carolina game injury-free for the most part, then I like our chances against Arizona.

Well, it would help it we won the game, too.

:laugh:

Usuallt when guys get a concussion they are back pretty quick.

That depends, how do we deal with this first?

LW is so stiff it's a good thing he was out vs Minnesota. It would have been like throwing to a concrete pylon.

I will be happy to see him on the field against Carolina. I have seen players on other teams miss an extra week in the concussion protocol and come back without issue.

That's assuming you come out of it with a win, which is probably less than 50 percent.

Who are you trying to convince? You or us? Honestly, I like Seattle's chances for a lot of reasons, that that's a topic for another thread.

Back on topic: According to Pete, while Willson hasn't quite cleared concussion protocol, apparently he's really close and just missed this last week. Thus (barring setbacks in the protocol which can happen), right now I'd rate him as 'probable' for this weekend. Of course this is subject to change without notice pending future events.

I hope we get Willson back. He's our best receiving TE at this point. Did we even complete a single pass to a TE against the Vikings?

 

[kearly]

Luke Willson is like Jermaine Kearse, except with more ugly drops (as a percentage) and far fewer heroic receptions. And Willson is not a good blocker either, whereas Kearse is a pretty good blocker by WR standards.

Only thing about Willson I consider to be a plus is his ability to abuse slow LBs. But Carolina's LB is right up there with Seattle for the fastest LB group in the league. So I'm not expecting Willson to make much difference even if he does play.

I recall him having a nice game against Carolina in the playoffs last year.

EDIT: 4 catches for 68 yards and a TD

We had a grand total of 13 completed passes, none of which were to TE's.

 

[ZorntoLargent]

He's playing ping pong at the Microsoft store in Bell Square tonight. Not that you can't do that with a concussion, but you'd think he's ready?

Hey that's not bad for a guy that has 213 yards and 1 TD in 14 games this season.
