Seahawks put RB Rawls on injured reserve
Marshawn Lynch will be too – but the Seahawks still don’t know when.
The Baltimore Ravens got dominated by the Seattle Seahawks to the tune of a 35-6 defeat on Sunday. On Sunday, Wilson threw for five touchdowns for the second time in his career. He was inactive the first three contests and only tallied 51 rushing yards on 15 carries in five games, thanks to health concerns and general ineffectiveness. Not bad. Baldwin has now scored multiple touchdowns in three consecutive games. The WR continued to put up monster numbers (six catches, 132 yards and one TD) marking his third consecutive game with at least 18 points. When asked about Richards sitting two weeks in a row, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said it had nothing to do with the player himself.
“It doesn’t get any tougher than that”, Wilson said. Since undergoing surgery for a sports hernia, the running back has reportedly been rehabbing off site leaving his status unknown. Marshawn Lynch, who sits atop the depth chart, missed a fourth straight game with an abdomen injury.
No matter. As long as Wilson has time in the pocket – and he sure did Sunday – the Seahawks’ offense is equipped to handle just about any situation.
“The familiarity and the background that he (Michael) has gives him a chance to help us”, coach Pete Carroll said.
While Shead didn’t practice, Carroll said he ran on the sideline during the morning walk-through “and looked pretty good for the first day back”. The Seahawks allowed at least four sacks in six of their first seven games.
Much more importantly, he completed 23 for 32 passes for 292 yards.
The Ravens did not stand a chance as Jimmy Clausen stepped in for an injured Joe Flacco and Matt Schaub.
“We took it to heart”, Lewis said. That said, with the way this Seahawks offense is rolling, I would be surprised to see anything other than another double-digit win this coming weekend. There hasn’t been any break, really, from it. We haven’t been good enough to overcome misfortune, or the mistakes that we’ve made. The only blemish was a dropped touchdown pass by Luke Willson. Last weekend in their contest against the Baltimore Ravens, Dujuan Harris saw a heavy dose of carries after Rawls exited with an injury.
The Harris yards per carry after contact number would have been encouraging if not for the fact the Seahawks just cut him. Wilson went 4 for 5 for 58 yards, capped by a touchdown pass to a wide-open Baldwin.
“Getting them all prepared I think is the right way and then when we get to Sunday we’ll figure it out”, Cable said.
Harbaugh announced Monday that defensive end Chris Canty is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle, making him the 19th Ravens’ player on Injured Reserve this season.
Based on the way Seattle has overcome injuries this year, this team should be perfectly fine. Playing for Chicago in September, he went 9 for 17 for 63 yards in a 26-0 loss. He became just the sixth quarterback since 1950 to start against the same team twice for different teams during one season. The last was Kyle Orton in 2011.
