Seahawks: No starting cornerback vs. Vikings

Josh Wilson

RENTON, Wash. (AP) - Josh Wilson is unlikely to play Sunday at Minnesota because of a concussion, leaving the Seahawks without a starting cornerback against Brett Favre and the high-flying Vikings.

Seattle coach Jim Mora said after Wilson missed his third consecutive practice Friday that there is only a slight chance he will play. Last weekend he banged his head into the leg of Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells and then the turf.

Wilson returned to finish the game before being diagnosed with the concussion.

Marcus Trufant, the other starting cornerback, says he was also "dinged" last weekend. He also returned to finish the game, then was diagnosed with a concussion.

Trufant has practiced the last two days and Seattle expects him to start Sunday.

  • Override I-960 and allow a simple majority to raise taxes
  • Keep I-960 and require a 2/3’s vote for tax increases
