I don't think you can call this Seattle Seahawks team/season a disappointment. No, not when you have started five different players at left tackle, and played stretches without your starting quarterback, as well as losing their best defensive player for the year. No, the best way to explain this season for the Seahawks is injury-plagued. Now I know this will not comfort Seattle fans, as they are without a doubt, some of the best fans in the...  

The Seattle Seahawks have strung together back-to-back wins for the first time in 2009 following Sunday's 20-17 decision over fellow NFC West member San Francisco, an encouraging sign of progress for a team that endured its share of struggles over the first half of this season under new head coach Jim Mora.  

As the Green Bay Packers make their push toward the playoffs, they know a seemingly beatable team like the Seattle Seahawks can jump up and bite them. Literally, at least in quarterback Aaron Rodgers' case. Going into Sunday's home finale for the Packers (9-5) at Lambeau Field, Rodgers recalled an unpleasant moment in last year's 27-17 victory over the Seahawks: He said defensive end...  

Chris Johnson became the sixth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, then scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 4:33 remaining to send the Tennessee Titans to a 17-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the season finale Sunday. Johnson ran 36 times -- three short of Earl Campbell's franchise record set in 1981 against Seattle -- for 134 yards and both of the...  

Returning to the locker room for exit interviews after spending the second half of the season on the injured reserve list working out in Florida, Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Walter Jones said he still hasn't given up on his dream of playing again. "That's the goal," Jones said. "I think the last time I talked, I said I was going to do everything possible to get back, and I'm still on that roll to get back, and hopefully I can." However...  

For the third time in three seasons, Seattle has brought in Jeff Robinson to be the Seahawks' long-snapper. Robinson was signed on Tuesday to replace Kevin Houser. Houser was placed on injured reserve after suffering a collapsed lung following the Seahawks 24-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.  

Seahawks long snapper Kevin Houser is hoping to be out of the hospital in time for Christmas Eve after doctors re-inflated his collapsed lung. Seattle coach Jim Mora said the 32-year-old veteran of 10 seasons was sitting up in his hospital room Monday and watching "Ren and Stimpy" cartoons with his wife and kids.  

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh is missing practice Tuesday to attend the funeral of former Cincinnati Bengals teammate Chris Henry. Seattle coach Jim Mora said Monday that Houshmandzadeh was on his way to Louisiana to attend the service and would return Tuesday night. Mora says Houshmandzadeh "was almost like a big brother" to Henry.  

Matt Hasselbeck is the most glib Seahawk. Yet even he can't describe his team's sorry state after losing to a one-win team this late in a season for the first time since Seattle's 1976 expansion year. "I'm speechless about that," the 34-year-old quarterback said. Sunday's 24-7 loss to Tampa Bay at Qwest Field, where fans resorted to wearing bags over their heads, left...  

Many things can happen at the bottom of a pile. A finger to an eye, a twisted arm, a sucker punch, the list goes on. But biting? At least according to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers it does. Rodgers accused Seattle Seahawks defensive end Darryl Tapp of biting him during the Packers' 27-17 victory over the Seahawks last season, an allegation Tapp steadfastly denies.  

Three consecutive blowout losses have the Seahawks in as bad a shape as they've been in years. The 48 points scored by the Packers on Sunday were the most Seattle had allowed since 1983. Only a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter kept the Seahawks from their worst margin of defeat in history. Yet coach Jim Mora insisted on Monday that his 5-10 team has not quit -- despite losing at Houston by...  

T.J. Houshmandzadeh finished practicing -- then sighed. "Long day," the Seahawks' top wide receiver said. "Long 24 hours." Houshmandzadeh returned to his team a couple of hours before practice Wednesday morning, after a boomerang trip to Louisiana to attend Tuesday's funeral of former Cincinnati Bengals teammate Chris Henry.  

RENTON, Wash. - Walter Jones says he would still like "one last run" with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010, but the six-time All-Pro left tackle would understand if his only NFL team thinks he's finished.  

RENTON, Wash. - The Seattle Seahawks signed wide receiver Mike Hass from the practice squad and waived defensive end Derek Walker on Saturday.
