Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he expects Jimmy Graham (ankle) to be able to play against the Titans Sunday in Nashville. The All-Pro tight end was earlier today listed as questionable on Seattle’s final injury report, but was a full participant in practice.

“He did really well today. He made it through the whole practice, and did everything,” Pete Carroll told reporters Friday afternoon. “So he’ll be alright.”
Linebacker Terence Garvin (shoulder) was also listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report. Linebacker D.J. Alexander is doubtful with a hamstring injury and will be a game-time decision, and cornerback Neiko Thorpe is out with a shoulder injury. Carroll said the Seahawks “moved some guys around” to fill in for Thorpe, a strong presence on special teams.
Cornerback Richard Sherman, listed on Friday’s injury report with a hamstring and achilles injury, will play Sunday.
The media was also given an update on cornerback DeShawn Shead, who started the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the 2016-17 postseason.
“DeShawn has job an incredible job of coming back,” Carroll said. “You guys know him, his mentality is extraordinary. His drive to continue to press and push and to max out the process is there, he’s working. He’s running really fast right now, (and) he’s doing everything that he can do, and it’s just a matter of time before he’ll be back and rolling.”
