The Seattle Seahawks offensive line continues to be a work-in-progress. Having scored just 21 points through the first two games of the season and not getting their first touchdown until the fourth quarter of last week’s win over the San Francisco 49ers, the Seahawks have hinted a possible lineup change this week along their offensive line. Offensive line coach Tom Cable indicated that the right guard spot held by Mark Glowinski (pictured) the first two games of the season could be subject to change for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

A group of current and former NFL players has asked Commissioner Roger Goodell for the league's support for their campaign for racial equality and criminal justice reform.Yahoo Sports is reporting the players sent a 10-page memo to Goodell and NFL executive

A group of four prominent NFL players reached out to the league in hopes of securing support for social activism and community involvement, according to a memo obtained by Yahoo Sports. The memo, sent to the league in August, includes signatures from Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, and retired wide receiver Anquan Boldin, four of the NFL's most outspoken players on issues of racial inequality.

“We will wait a couple days to see how he does,” Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. “Certainly it did,” Carroll said when asked whether Graham’s injury affected him. Luke Willson and Nick Vannett are the other tight ends on the Seahawks’ roster, with Tyrone Swoopes on the practice squad.

The Seahawks listed cornerback Richard Sherman questionable last week with a hamstring injury. “I guess from what I understand the rules are for gamblers, for Vegas to make sure the odds and everything are what they are supposed to be, which is apparently what the league is concerned about when talking about injuries and things like that,’’ Sherman said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. Sherman blamed fantasy football, too.

The Titans have ruled out receiver Corey Davis for Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a nagging hamstring injury. "It's tough for anytime to have to watch a guy who can't play," Titans head coach Mike Mularkey said, via ESPN. Now the Titans are hoping running back DeMarco Murray will be ready to go, even though he aggravated his hamstring against the Jaguars.

The Titans promoted a wide receiver from their practice squad on Wednesday and it looks like Zack Pascal will get an immediate chance to play. Titans coach Mike Mularkey said Wednesday that wide receiver Corey Davis will not play against the Seahawks this Sunday. Davis left last Sunday’s game against the Jaguars with a hamstring injury.

The first two weeks of the season haven’t been kind to the NFC West. Right now, the division looks similar to 2010, when the Seahawks won it with a 7-9 record. The Seahawks didn’t score a touchdown this season until the fourth quarter in Week 2. Seattle is sitting at 1-1 right now, leading the division by virtue of beating another NFC West team, the 49ers. Otherwise they might still be winless. Russell Wilson’s doing his best, but the offensive line is atrocious. Even Seattle’s talent on defense isn’t enough to overcome the weaknesses on the other side of the ball. And speaking of San Francisco, they’re lingering at the bottom of this division with no wins so far. Few people had high expectations

Perceived friction between the offense and defense in Seattle was a popular topic of conversation around the Seahawks this offseason with cornerback Richard Sherman playing a starring role as one of the leading figures in the rift. After the first two games of this season, though, Sherman isn’t arguing that the defense has to do a lot of heavy lifting in Seattle. The Seahawks lost to the Packers 17-9 in the opener and then slogged their way to a 12-9 win over the 49ers last Sunday, Sherman said that a defense led by him, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Michael Bennett, Bobby Wagner, Cliff Avril and Sheldon Richardson knows that they are expected to lead the team to success.
