RENTON, Wash. (AP) — A pair of minor injuries will keep James Carpenter and Bruce Irvin from suiting up in the Seattle Seahawks’ preseason opener against the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night.
The Seahawks have been excited throughout training camp at the promise shown by both of their former first-round selections but are eager to see it translate to game action. Both will have to wait another week before getting their first preseason action of the year.
Carpenter hasn’t been able to practice the last few days after suffering a foot sprain and Irvin has also missed practices this week because of a groin issue. Head coach Pete Carroll didn’t provide many details as to which players will play against the Chargers, but he did say neither Carpenter nor Irvin will be able to go.
