Percy Harvin's long-awaited return to the field might arrive just in time.
The
Seahawks receiver
practiced again Tuesday, ahead of
Saturday's NFC divisional playoff showdown with the
New Orleans Saints, coach
Pete Carroll announced.
The Seattle X-factor also participated in Friday's session, but Carroll told reporters that Tuesday's practice would loom as a
huge factor in whether or not Harvin plays this weekend.
"If (Percy's) playing, that means we're going to do whatever we planned to do with him," Carroll said.
Harvin has appeared in only one game this season after undergoing surgery on the hip last summer. His presence would give Seattle's fairly thin receiving corps a tremendous boost against Rob Ryan's defense.
If he does play, he'll likely be put on a snap count, but everything we know about Harvin tells us he only needs one opportunity to wreak havoc on a game plan.
