Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith exited Sunday’s loss to the Rams late in the third quarter with an elbow injury but came back to play. The temporary loss of starting quarterback Geno Smith hurt the Seahawks in the fourth quarter.
On Monday’s Pete Carroll Show, the Seattle Seahawks coach provided the latest update on the arm of QB Geno Smith.
“We don’t know much today yet, but it was a good sign that he could get back in and throw,” Carroll said. “He’s going to be more sore today. We’ll see how he responds the next couple days, but it was a good sign that he was functional and could throw the football alright so it was a good job in getting back out there.”
Carroll slipped a bit and stated that he’s actually pretty optimistic Seattle will have its starting QB on Thursday for their Thanksgiving game.
“They’re taking a look at it but they pretty much know what’s going on there,” Carroll said. “It’s just see how soon it settles down. Like I said, it’s a good sign that he’s functional so that’s not the issue, so it’s just how sore he is. He’ll make it back.”
Catch that last part? Salk did, so he quickly asked: “By Thursday?”
“I would think so,” Carroll answered. “The challenge couldn’t be any harder. … He’s gonna play.”
