Seahawks | K.J. Wright will have no limitations
Seattle Seahawks LB K.J. Wright (knee) is fully back without limitations and will be able to play every snap if needed in the team’s Wild Card playoff game Saturday, Jan. 5, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Wright played 47 of 66 snaps in the regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals.
Footballguys View: Wright is part of a dynamic duo at linebacker with Bobby Wagner but they have only played together in five games this year. The Cowboys linebackers have been special this year, but when healthy Seattle’s duo is among the best in the league.

Irving has already been ruled out for the club’s Wild Card playoff game on Saturday, Jan. 5, while Su’a-Filo has been tabbed doubtful and Austin and Thompson are being considered questionable.
Footballguys View: Austin made an appearance in Week 17 and could add some speed to the Cowboys offense. Irving’s presence in the middle of the line has been almost non-existent this year, with only two games played.
