Schmitt inactive; also Cards’ Okeafor
The only surprise among the Seahawks’ inactive players is backup FB Owen Schmitt. It could be an indication that they don’t plan to run a lot today out of a traditional two-back set. Or just that starter Justin Griffith is the better lead blocker.
This is the first time this season that Schmitt has been inactive, and he started a game when Griffith was out with a sprained knee.
Also inactive:
- SS Jamar Adams
- DT Red Bryant
- OG Mike Gibson
- TE Cameron Morrah
- OG Mansfield Wrotto
- DL Derek Walker
- 3rd QB: Mike Teel
Inactive for the Cardinals:
- LB Gerald Hayes
- LB Chike Okeafor
- PL Herman Johnson
- OL Brandon Keith
- TE Dominique Byrd
- WR Sean Morey
- TE Ben Patrick
- 3rd QB: Brian St. Pierre
Ali Highsmith will start Hayes and Bertrand Berry for Okeafor.
Okeafor, the former Seahawk, has been bothered by back spasms.
