Seahawks-Broncos Friday injury report: Zach Miller good to go, Bruce Irvin questionable

After tight end Zach Miller sat out the first two days of practice this week, his status became something of a concern, especially considering the pass rush Seattle will be facing this week, but Miller returned to practice and “did fine” according to Pete Carroll, who added, “Looks like he should be ready to go.”

The only injury question-mark for Seattle this week is pass-rusher/linebacker Bruce Irvin, who suffered a rib injury in practice Wednesday.

“He didn’t go today, but he feels a lot better, so we thought the best thing to do was rest him again and take him right up to game time,” Carroll said.

If Irvin can’t go, that would likely mean an increased role for O’Brien Schofield and Cassius Marsh.

RB Christine Michael is probable after missing the first two games with a hamstring injury, though that’s no guarantee of playing time. Asked if Michael will be active for Sunday’s game, Carroll only said, “You’ll have to wait and see.”
