Seahawks offensive linemen D.J. Fluker and Germain Ifedi are active and in uniform.
Now we’ll see if they play in Sunday’s regular-season finale against Arizona, especially given that both are dealing with injuries.

Ifedi was inactive last week because of a groin injury though he practiced this week. Meanwhile, Fluker played in spite of a hamstring injury last week, but only after J.R. Sweezy left the game with an ankle injury.
Sweezy is out for this game with an ankle injury that usually requires three to four weeks of recovery.
“He’s going to do it in two,” Pete Carroll predicted after Friday’s practice, saying he expected Sweezy available for Seattle’s wild-card playoff game next week.
When Sweezy went out against Kansas City, Fluker went into the game after missing the previous two games. With Seattle’s playoff berth already secured, Seattle could choose to rest Fluker and start Joey Hunt at right guard.
Safety Tedric Thompson will miss a second straight game. He was out last week with a chest issue, and while that cleared up, a sore ankle will keep him out this week.
Cornerback Kalan Reed, running back Bo Scarbrough, linebacker Emmanuel Ellerbee, defensive end Rasheem Green and defensive lineman Dion Jordan are also inactive for Seattle.
The inactive players for the Cardinals: receivers J.J. Nelson and Jalen Tolliver, safety D.J. Swearinger, defensive end Markus Golden, offensive lineman Zach Golditch, tight end Ricky Seals-Jones and defensive end Benson Mayowa.
