The Seattle Seahawks were hoping to have starting WR Mike Williams (foot-questionable) available for today’s game against the visiting Carolina Panthers. After pregame warm-ups were over, it was determined that he would be able to play.

However, the team will not have three starters: DT Colin Cole (ankle), G Chester Pitts (ankle) and TE John Carlson (hip).

Veteran TE Chris Baker starts for Carlson.

The Panthers won’t have two starters available: G Travelle Wharton (toe) and CB Chris Gamble (hamstring).

Look for the Panthers to attack the nickel CB Captain Munnerlyn (shoulder-probable), who starts for Gamble.
