Cross has missed the last three games due to injury, but the Seahawks’ left tackle in line to play next week in the NFC Divisional Round.
The Seattle Seahawks may have a bye, but that doesn’t mean they’re free from all football activities until the week of the NFC Divisional Round. Seattle practiced on Wednesday and Thursday as it awaits one of the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, over Carolina Panthers.
The Seahawks aren’t required to produce an injury report for a non-game week, but it’s most important to note who returned to the practice field for the first time in three weeks. Starting left tackle Charles Cross, who injured his hamstring in the Week 15 win over the Indianapolis Colts, practiced both days. This is about as encouraging as it gets that he’ll be back in the lineup for Seattle’s next game. While Cross has been out, he did score a major victory by signing a four-year contract extension worth over $100 million. “I feel great just being in Seattle, being around my teammates, the organization here,“ Cross said . Like I said before, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. It’s real special to me… I was drafted here. The teammates, the team, the camaraderie that we have, the relationships. Means the world me.” He also had praise for the performance of Josh Jones, who deputized for Cross and played through ankle and knee injuries in the NFC West title win over the San Francisco 49ers. “Josh has done a great job coming in and playing week in and week out,” Cross said. “He played great in the games he played in in my opinion. I mean, what more could you ask for from Josh? I’m happy for him and proud of him. He’s done everything he needs to do.” The only other major injury concern on the active roster is safety Coby Bryant, who missed the final two games with a knee injury. There haven’t been any updates on Bryant this week, but limited practice the week before should provide some optimism that he’ll also return next week.
