Here’s the official injury report for the Seattle Seahawks’ divisional playoff game Sunday versus the Carolina Panthers:
SEATTLE
Out: none.
Doubtful: FB Will Tukuafu (hamstring).
Questionable: none.
Probable: TE Luke Willson (concussion), RB Marshawn Lynch (abdomen), DE Michael Bennett (toe).
Notes: The big news for Seattle is that Lynch is listed as probable, indicating he’ll play Sunday. Lynch has missed eight straight games, and he ended up not making the trip to Minnesota for last Sunday’s wild-card game, despite practicing in full all week. He was listed as questionable then, so the upgrade to probable means in all likelihood he’ll at least be on the plane when it leaves for Charlotte. Willson is expected back after missing two games. Tukuafu likely won’t play after suffering his injury last week.
CAROLINA
Out: RB Fozzy Whittaker (ankle).
Doubtful: none.
Questionable: WR Ted Ginn Jr. (knee).
Probable: DE Kony Ealy (illness).
Notes: The biggest development is that Ginn, who practiced Wednesday and Thursday, was not a participant Friday and was pegged with the questionable tag, though Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Friday he expected Ginn to play. Starting CB Charles Tillman tore up his knee in Carolina’s season finale and was placed on injured reserve. Therefore Whittaker, a back-up, is the only player on the Panthers’ active roster who’s expected to miss out Sunday.
