[Wheelhouse]

I'd like to know this too, since I have to start him this week with Heap on bye.

I was in the same position last week with Watson and Clark.Make sure you have a back-up plan!!

 

[JerseyEagles]

Stevens is not on the injury report. I am going to go with him or Chris Baker (vs DET) as my Heap fill-in.

Started him for Watson last week. He was supposed to get in for 30 plays. My WW closes Saturday night, so I was screwed. Oh Well. I'm starting Watson this week to be safe.

 

[Shermanator]

The fact that he didnt play a down in a game that he was a game time decision last week does not bode well for this week.

I dont see him on the injury list though

 

[fridayfrenzy]

He's supposed to be part of the offense this week (will be starting in a couple of weeks IMO).

That's what they said last week - at least until they deactivated him late in the week! I know, only myself to blame.

Ready? Stevens thinks so

Jerramy Stevens caught five touchdown passes, a team record for tight ends, for Seattle in 2005.

Today’s an important day for Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens.

If his surgically repaired left knee feels fine and he gets through practice without any problems, Stevens believes he’ll play for the first time this season when the Seahawks host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

“Friday’s our big red zone practice, so if it goes good on Friday and it doesn’t swell up, I should be good to go,” Stevens said Thursday.

This week, Stevens said the swelling has lessened and his mobility is better. Tight ends coach Jim Lind, after watching Stevens work with the first team on Thursday, noticed improvement.

“He looked good. He was moving around real well,” Lind said.

Stevens has had two surgeries, one in April and another in August for cartilage-related problems, since last season. He practiced last week, but then was a late scratch because his knee did not feel right Sunday in St. Louis.

“Last week was the first week that I had ran three, four days in a row on it,” said Stevens, who battles the swelling with daily icings and rest after practice.

“It was just a real heavy workload for my knee and it just couldn’t take it. It swelled up on me and it was a smart decision not to go.”

Stevens was in need of more than just physical healing. Lind says any player returning from an injury has a mental hurdle to get over before he returns to the field.

“He needs to get in there, get smacked around a little bit and then he’ll be ready to go,” he said.

Stevens, who enjoyed the best season of his four-year career in 2005 when he set team tight end records for receiving yards (554) and touchdowns (five), said he’s close.

“I’m feeling more confident every day. The knee isn’t bothering me when I’m running, and I’m not thinking about it,” he said. “That’s where I need to be able to (play). I’m excited.”



Miami connection

Seahawks rookie cornerback Kelly Jennings, who played at Miami, watched replays of the Hurricanes’ brawl against Florida International on Saturday with shock and concern.

The shock was seeing so many players fighting, kicking and swinging helmets. The concern was for his nephew, Bruce Johnson, who now plays for the Hurricanes.

Johnson, a sophomore defensive back and punt returner, emerged from the brawl OK but was one of the 13 Miami players suspended.

“He’s kind of a hothead sometimes, and I’m trying to teach him a little bit of what I’ve learned,” Jennings said, adding that he agrees with the suspensions.

He said events like Saturday’s only feed into the negative image of Hurricanes players being thugs, which he said is a bad rap.

“Yes it is,” he said gesturing to the locker room and laughing. “I get that from these guys all the time.”



No punt return worries

Special teams coach Bob Casullo wasn’t worried last week when Nate Burleson returned punts for the Seahawks after Jimmy Williams left the game in the third quarter after getting the wind knocked out of him.

Burleson, who had one return for 7 yards, was forced into duty because backup returner Bobby Engram was in Seattle after being diagnosed with a thyroid condition.

“We’re fortunate to have three NFL punt returners,” Casullo said. “All three are very good.”

Burleson could be forced into that duty again Sunday should anything happen to Williams because Engram is out again this week. Burleson averaged 7.6 yards on 31 returns in his days with the Vikings, and had a 91-yard touchdown in 2004.

Extra points

What does Chris Spencer, who moved into the starting lineup when Steve Hutchinson signed with Minnesota, think about all the hoopla surrounding the Seahawks’ line with Hutchinson returning this week? “I don’t read the paper and I don’t buy into all that. I just try to go out and get better every practice,” Spencer said. That attitude, said offensive line coach Bill Laveroni, has served the second-year player well. “This is a work in progress. But he’s taking it like a man, and that’s exciting. He’s working his tail off and he’ll be better.” ... Linebacker D.D. Lewis (toe) did not practice. Defensive lineman Joe Tafoya, who missed the last two games with a knee injury, did practice.

Thanks Shick. I figured I would check here before hitting the papers. I appreciate the news.

The Seahawks will get one receiver back Sunday. Holmgren said starting tight end Jerramy Stevens will make his season debut. Stevens had surgeries on his left knee in April and August and then had fluid drained behind his knee cap early this week. That fluid buildup was causing the discomfort that nixed Seattle's plans for Stevens to play last week at St. Louis.

I wonder if this is just 30 plays or the whole game?

Jackson was only supposed to see 30 play back in week 1. He ended up being on the field for all but three offensive snaps.

Now that the game has started, is he in or out?

Mili started. Stevens has seen one play, one target, one reception. However, after replay it was ruled incomplete.

 

[Big Blue Wrecking Crew]

For those who watch this game, was Stevens out there? If so, how was he being utilized.

Very excited about his goose egg this week and would like to know how much more BS will be thrown out about his participation in the offense. Good red herring though...great results were acheived this week.

Bump for info on Stevens.
