Injuries have decimated the ranks of the NFL through two weeks, taking down some of the best at each position.

The following players […]
The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 3)
This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Jason Myers Misses 58-Yarder
Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers officially missed his first field goal attempt of the season on Sunday, but it was a 58-yarder, so no one's too upset. Myers did knock down a 46-yard kick in the second quarter, but it was negated by a penalty on Pittsburgh and later turned into a touchdown a couple […]
Will Dissly Hauls In Two Touchdowns
Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had a big day on Sunday as he brought down a pair of touchdowns against the Steelers.

D.K. Metcalf Catches First NFL Touchdown
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf kept the good times rolling in Week 2 as he juggled and grasped his first NFL touchdown.

Tyler Lockett Catches 10 Passes In Win
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett got a bit of attention last week after he was only targeted twice in the squeaked out win against the Bengals, but this should clear up that concern. Unfortunately, Lockett wasn't able to reach the end zone on any of the catches, but 10 catches on 12 targets should […]
Chris Carson Nearly Blows Week 2 Win
The Seattle Seahawks were sitting pretty with a nine-point lead and less than six minutes left in the game when running back Chris Carson dropped the ball. Literally. With everyone in the stadium knowing that Seattle was just going to run out the clock, Carson simply missed grabbing the ball on a straight handoff when […]
Rashaad Penny Busts Huge TD Run
Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny may not get a ton of playing time, but he's certainly got his teammates on his side. Penny changed direction on a run and bounced it all the way to the other side of the line halfway through the third quarter. None other than Russell Wilson himself happened to […]
Russell Wilson Throws For 300 Yards, Three TDs
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 300 yards on Sunday, hitting the number for just the second time in the last two years.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (shoulder) practiced well this week and could return in Week 3, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
