The Seahawks host the Cowboys Sunday, heading into the week having put three players on injured reserve: linebacker Bruce Irvin, safety Marquise Blair and receiver Phillip Dorsett II. As for players still on the 53-man roster with injury concern, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said the team likely won't know until late in the week, if not on gameday, whether or not defensive end Rasheem Green (neck) or tackle Cedric Ogbuehi (pectoral) will be available after not playing in Week 2.
Wednesday's Injury Report
Five players were held out of practice and eight were limited, though other than Rasheem Green and Cedric Ogbuehi, who did not play in Week 2, all of those players listed finished Sunday's game vs. New England.
When asked about Green earlier in the day, Carroll said, "Rasheem, he's still kind of in the same mode. We haven't turned the corner yet. We'll have to see as this week goes on if he improves enough to where he'll be able to play this week. He's not feeling that bad, but he's still got a little something going on that we've got to wait through it and see which day it turns. So we won't know until later in the week. But he has not been cleared yet for this week, so we'll see what happens."
It's worth noting that four players (RB Chris Carson, WR DK Metcalf, WR Tyler Lockett and TE Greg Olsen) were limited with a "resting veteran" status, suggesting it was simply some extra rest after a late night, grueling win over the Patriots on Sunday.
For the Cowboys, two of their top corners, Chidobe Awuzie and Trevon Diggs were both held out, as was Pro-Bowl tackle Tyron Smith, who missed Dallas' Week 2 game with a neck injury.

Thursday's Injury Report
While the list was long on Wednesday, various players seem to be progressing well as Sunday approaches, and no new names appeared on Thursday's report. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed and linebacker Cody Barton, both held out on Wednesday, had limited participation on Thursday. Chris Carson, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Greg Olsen, all listed as limited participants on Wednesday with "resting vet" status, were full participants on Thursday, though Olsen now appears to be dealing with a heel issue.
After showing up on Wednesday's report as full participants with minor injuries, guards Mike Iupati (wrist) and Jordan Simmons (knee), defensive end L.J. Collier (wrist), tackle Jamarco Jones (back) and CB Tre Flowers (hand) were all removed from the report completely on Thursday.
The Cowboys listed the same four players on Thursday's report, though rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs (shoulder) was a full participant after not participating on Wednesday.

Friday's Injury Report
The Seahawks will be without defensive end Rasheem Green, who was ruled out on Friday, for the second straight week due to a neck injury. Four players are questionable, including two starters on defense: cornerback Quinton Dunbar (knee) and defensive end Benson Mayowa (groin). Also questionable is cornerback and special teams captain Neiko Thorpe (hip), as well as reserve tackle Cedric Ogbuehi, who missed the first two games with a pectoral injury.
No one else on what was a lengthy injury report early in the week was listed on Friday's game status report, meaning they should all be good to go.
The Cowboys will be without starting cornerback Chidobe Awuzie, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, while defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (knee) and tackle Tyron Smith (neck) are both listed as questionable.
UPDATE: Green was placed on injured reserve after the initial injury report went out, meaning he will miss at least three games. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said after Friday's practice that, "it's just going to be a couple more weeks, so this was the right way to handle this. We're expecting him to come back to us."
Of the players listed as questionable, Carroll indicated that Mayowa and Dunbar appear to be ready to go, while Thorpe will be a game-day decision.
