Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen (shoulder) and wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) are both sore the day after Sunday's 37-31 overtime victory over the Detroit Lions.
Woolen was sidelined for most of the final three quarters of the game after injuring his right shoulder on a tackle of Lions wide receiver Antoine Green. The injury occurred on the second play of the second quarter. Meanwhile, Metcalf took a big shot to his ribs from Detroit safety Kerby Joseph on Seattle's opening touchdown drive.
Meanwhile, Metcalf was able to play through his injury after a brief trip to the locker room for treatment. Metcalf finished the game with six catches for a team-high 75 yards in the victory. When it comes to the performances in the game itself, Carroll again was effusive in his praise for Stone Forsythe and Jake Curhan and their ability to step in at the tackle spots in place of Charles Cross and Abe Lucas.
"He was having fun, got involved, and had a couple of big wins. I think it’s a terrific first game that we got through," Carroll said. "He’s been hitting the ball well in practice and all of that, I just believe in him and trust him and figure he’s going to get on track," Carroll said. "Unfortunately, the other day here it upset the rhythm of how we were making progress in the game. But like all of the rest of the issues that were presented to us we just kept going and we’ll do the same with him, he’s a terrific kicker and we’re counting on him, he’ll come through.
