Photos from Thursday's practice at Virginia Mason Athletic Center as the Seahawks ready for their Week 16 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
With Wednesday's workout being a walk-thru, the Seahawks conducted their first full practice of the week on Thursday at Renton's Virginia Mason Athletic Center, where eight players were sidelined by injuries as Seattle readies for its Week 16 road matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
The list of injured Seahawks sidelined Thursday included starters Bobby Wagner (hamstring), defensive end Michael Bennett (knee), Jimmy Graham (knee), Bradley McDougald (knee), Duane Brown (ankle), and Earl Thomas (heel), as well as linebacker D.J. Alexander (concussion) and defensive tackle Nazair Jones (ankle). Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll should provide a clearer assessment on most of this group as he meets with the media following Friday's practice, when the club will also submit its gameday status designations to the League.
K.J. Wright (concussion), meanwhile, was listed as a full participant for a second day in a row, signaling the Seahawks linebacker will likely return to action this weekend after missing Week 15 against the Rams. Tight end Nick Vannett (shoulder), who suffered his injury in this past weekend's game against the Los Angeles Rams, was upgraded to a full participant Thursday, an encouraging sign for his status this week.
