Friday's Injury Report
The Seahawks will be without defensive end Shelby Harris for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Harris, who left last week's game with a glute injury, was away from the team with what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll called a family matter.
The Seahawks also have two players listed as doubtful, cornerback Justin Coleman and safety Joey Blount, both of whom missed last week's game due to injury. If Coleman doesn't play, rookie Coby Bryant is expected to again take over at nickel cornerback.
Safety Quandre Diggs, who was limited in practice Thursday with a knee injury, is listed as questionable.
Center Austin Blythe, who missed Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury, is not listed with a game status, meaning he should be ready to go. The same is true for left guard Damien Lewis, who left last week's game with a thigh injury, so the Seahawks should be at full strength when it comes to the offensive line.
The Falcons have only one player on their injury report, with starting left guard Elijah Wilkinson ruled out for a personal matter.

Thursday's Injury Report
The Seahawks saw several players return to practice Thursday after sitting out a day earlier, including safety Quandre Diggs and linebacker Cody Barton, who were both limited, and guards Gabe Jackson and Damien Lewis, who were full participants.
One potential concern heading into the weekend is the status of center Austin Blythe, who was listed as limited on Wednesday, then did not practice on Thursday.
Also of note, defensive end Shelby Harris remained out a day after Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he was tending to a family matter, and nickel corner Justin Coleman, who missed last week's game with a calf injury, was a non-participant for the second straight day. If Coleman isn't able to play, that would likely mean another starting opportunity for rookie Coby Bryant in the nickel role.

Wednesday's Injury Report
The Seahawks kickedoff their week of practice with seven players sidelined, including two who left Sunday's game with injuries—guard Damien Lewis (thigh) and defensive end Shelby Harris (glute).
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Lewis went through the team’s walkthrough early in the day and is moving well, while Harris was not with the team Wednesday while tending to a family matter.
Also sitting out Wednesday's practice were cornerback Justin Coleman, who missed Sunday's game with a calf injury, safety Quandre Diggs (knee), linebacker Cody Barton (shoulder/hip), G Gabe Jackson (knee/rest), and rookie safety Joey Blount, who was out last weekend after injuring his hamstring in practice last week.
The Falcons, meanwhile, listed only one player on their injury report, cornerback Darren Hall, who was limited with a knee injury.
