NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Seahawks made a switch on their offensive line for Sunday’s game, promoting Oday Aboushi to the starter at right guard and declaring Mark Glowinski inactive.

Tight end Jimmy Graham was active for the game, which is not a surprise. After Graham practiced Friday, coach Pete Carroll said he expected Graham to play despite missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday because of an ankle injury he suffered last week against San Francisco.

The Seahawks also made Eddie Lacy active for Sunday’s game, keeping four running backs in uniform. Lacy was inactive against the 49ers last week.

Carroll had kept quiet on any plans for change along the offensive line, and the decision to start Aboushi was not announced until Glowinski was among the seven players Seattle declared inactive 90 minutes before kicking off against the Titans.

The other inactive players for Seattle are RB J.D. McKissic, CB Neiko Thorpe, S Tedric Thompson, LB D.J. Alexander, G Jordan Roos and OT Isaiah Battle.

Glowinski started the first two games at right guard after moving over from left guard, where he started last season.

Aboushi was an offseason signing from Houston and while he competed for a starting job in training camp, he had been inactive for the first two games.

The Seahawks typically keep seven offensive linemen active on game days, which puts a premium on versatility among the backups. Rookie Ethan Pocic has experience at center in addition to play at guard and tackle in the preseason while Matt Tobin – who was acquired from Philadelphia in August – has played both tackle and guard.

For the Titans, running back DeMarco Murray is active despite missing a couple of days of practice due to a hamstring injury. The Titans’ seven inactive players are CB Kalan Reed, S Johnathan Cyrprien, LB Josh Carraway, LB Nate Palmer, G/C Corey Levin, WR Corey Davis and DL Karl Klug.

Davis is a starting wide receiver for the Titans. Rookie Adoree’ Jackson will start in his place.
