The Seattle Seahawks were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Eve. There were also some injuries to the roster. Following the loss, Coach Pete Carroll was available to update his players on injury.
Right tackle Abraham Lucas (elbow): “His elbow just kind of gave out a little bit or something like that, so he had an issue with it,” Carroll said. “He was OK to play, he could have played, but we thought let’s get him out of there and rest it, because it impacts him too much, I don’t think he reinjured it as much as he just kind of aggravated it.”
Safety Joey Blount (knee): “Joey had an issue with his knee,” Carroll confirmed. “Something with his kneecap. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it kind of got knocked out a little bit and came back. He was very uncomfortable and in pain. It’s not a knee injury. It is a patella situation.”
Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (wrist): “He had been nursing a wrist and it just got jammed again,” Carroll told reporters.
Carroll also mentioned that running back and special teamer are two different things. Travis Homer The matchup was abandoned after the victim sustained a sprained leg.
