The injury has caused him to miss the season’s first two games, in which Seattle (1-1) has scored 15 total points with one touchdown. As Wilson extends a play, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett have shown a knack at finding the open pockets that develop and giving Wilson options downfield once defenses break down.

Both underwent MRIs on Monday, but Carroll did not immediately have results, saying it would be later in the week before their status was determined.
The Seahawks offense, which underwhelmed all game, looked to be in position to pull off a comeback win in the final seconds when it got to the Rams’ 45-yard line with just under a minute left.
Not many pro sports franchises would choose their first game in a new hometown to wear vintage uniforms, but the Rams aren’t the normal new kids on any block. So far this hasn’t been a great second season for the running back, to the disappointment of most fantasy owners. “You want to capture the moment because you don’t want to say, ‘We should’ve done this better, that better.’ He was basically just challenging each other to live up to their potential and not play like we did earlier this week”. “We were able to get the ball out and give our offence back the ball to get in victory formation”.
The New England Patriots started 2003 with a 31-0 clubbing by the Bills, but won 28 of their next 31 regular season games and back to back championships. But it’s the combination of issues already surfacing that are causing concern. Gone. J’Marcus Webb had to go from backup right tackle to starting left guard on the Thursday before the Sunday opener. Although he didn’t lead the Rams into the end zone and Todd Gurley was once again bottled up to the tune of 51 yards on 19 carries, Keenum put together an effective game against the Seahawks completing 18 of 30 passes for 239 yards along with no interceptions.
The big kahuna. Beast Mode is gone, and while Christine Michael had a decent preseason and Thomas Rawls was great previous year, neither has been able to step up and produce on the level Lynch did. The defensive line was stellar as Aaron Donald, William Hayes and Robert Quinn put enormous pressure on Russell Wilson throughout the game. The Seahawks struggled to gain momentum Sunday against the Rams. That is prohibited by the labor agreement with the players’ union. Without a personnel overhaul up front, the Seahawks simply don’t have the horses to pick up the slack if Wilson can’t play at top speed. “It was an wonderful historical moment to be here and I am glad we were able to come out with the win”.
“A couple young guys, and they just went the wrong way at the wrong time, you know, and banged heads”, Carroll said. “We’re going to continue to work really hard to do this really well. So we’ve made strong efforts to do that, but we’re still working at it”.

Tight end Jimmy Graham, just a few years ago on the Saints, was one of the best receiving options in the NFL. Carroll said the incident in question happened when two younger players collided going after a ball during a drill and both were injured from the collision. So, as it stands now, the Rams have more wins than touchdowns through two weeks of football. The NFL and NFLPA independently reviewed on-field video of the practice before agreeing that the Seahawks violated the “no-contact” rule. Seattle had two minicamp practices taken away in June 2015 for contact rules violations during the 2014 offseason.
