Seattle Seahawks Reportedly Sign DB Danny Gorrer
It would appear from Danny Gorrer's twitter that he has been signed by the Seattle Seahawks. Either that, or he is taking an odd detour on his sightseeing trip of Seattle as he tweeted a photo of the Seahawks practice facility in Renton, Washington.
The Ravens cut the third year cornerback on Labor Day to make room on the roster after signing veteran safety James Ihedigbo. The Seahawks are Gorrer's third NFL team in three seasons. He was signed as an undrafted free-agent by the New Orleans Saints and claimed off of waivers by the Rams. He started one game and recorded five tackles before getting cut.
The Saints reclaimed Gorrer during the 2010 offseason only to cut him months later. He signed with the Ravens practiced squad and eventually worked his way onto the active roster, where he played 11 games and racked up five tackles in his limited time on the field.
It is unclear what the terms of his agreement with the Seahawks are.

Seahawks Injury Report: Zach Miller Still Nursing Foot Injury
Tight end Zach Miller got the start in the Seattle Seahawks' 27-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but is still nursing a sore foot.
Miller was listed as questionable, but ended up starting the game anyway. He finished with just one reception for seven yards, and Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said in a press conference on Monday he expects Miller to be slightly limited in practice this week.
"Zach limped his way through this game some," Carroll said. "He was not full speed, but he made it through and toughed it out. He needs these days. He's got a sore foot, but he needs these days to get over this."
The Seahawks players will receive an extra day off this week as their Week 3 contest against the Green Bay Packers is next Monday.

Seahawks Injury Report: Byron Maxwell Has First-Degree Hamstring Strain
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Bryon Maxwell has a "first-degree hamstring injury" that he suffered in a 27-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, head coach Pete Carroll said in a press conference on Monday.
Maxwell is a backup cornerback and a special teams standout who missed the season opener with a shoulder injury. Just 24 hours after the injury, the team is still in the dark about how severe the hamstring injury may be.
"We have to wait and see how it works out," Carroll said. "It might not be that serious, but we don't know."
Maxwell has mainly played on special teams this year. He was selected in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Clemson. Hamstring injuries can be tricky to come back from, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Maxwell miss the Seahawks' Week 3 game against the Packers next Monday.

Seahawks Injury Report: John Moffitt Got 'Banged Up' On Sunday
Seattle Seahawks right guard John Moffitt started both halves but was replaced by rookie J.R. Sweezy by the end of each half in a 27-7 Week 2 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Head coach Pete Carroll said at a press conference Monday he is monitoring their playing time and that the replacement wasn't an indication of being pulled for mental mistakes, errors or much of an injury.
"John did fine," Carroll said. "He got banged up a little bit so J.R. jumped in there, and J.R. got some good play at the end like we had hoped. So we just keep making progress and go. We'll decide that during the week how it's going. But the competition is definitely on there, and John did all right. J.R. played pretty well, too. Neither one of them had really any glaring mistakes that would hurt their cause. Both could play better, but they did a nice job."
At the end of the day, the two players spent a pretty similar amount of time on the field. Moffitt played for 38 snaps while Sweezy was present for 30. Although the situation could change later in the season depending on quality of play, it appears that Moffitt will remain the starter, at least for Week 3.

Cowboys Expect Seahawks WR Golden Tate To Be Fined For Hit
No doubt you saw it, live or on highlight shows: Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate absolutely de-cleating Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee during a Russell Wilson run on Sunday, in the Seahawks 27-7 win.
Tate led with the helmet into Lee's chin and sent him sprawling into next week. It was big a blow-up, in football terms, as any ever seen.
Well, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones feels Tate will get fined for the hit, even though it was not flagged for a penalty during the game. Jones had this to say:
"That's certainly something we know or expect penalties and fines about. They didn't see the helmet hit or they would have called it."
Tate celebrated his big wallop; Lee was able to return to the game and dismissed it. Losing money is never a good thing in the non-guaranteed contract world of the NFL, but Tate will probably accept any fine he faces with a smile and a feeling that it was worth it just to lay out an opposing linebacker who is bigger.
Talk about Tate with Seahawk fans at Field Gulls and with Cowboys fans at Blogging The Boys.

Cowboys Vs. Seahawks Score Update: Russell Wilson Throws TD In Third To Make It 20-7
The Seattle Seahawks took a 10-0 lead over the Dallas Cowboys thanks to a slew of early special teams blunders. The game slowed down quickly after that, with both sides exchanging punts back and forth without much action in between. Tony Romo and the Cowboys managed to out-gain the Seahawks while out there most of the time, but haven't been able to finish out drives.
At the start of the third quarter, both teams picked up where they left off: exchanging punts and not getting very far. That is until there was about five minutes to go in the quarter, when Marshawn Lynch broke a 36-yard run on a second and seven, taking the ball into Dallas territory. Two plays later, Russell Wilson hit Anthony McCoy for a 22-yard touchdown to make it 20-7.
Dallas took back over and drove a little, but penalties set them back, and they were forced to punt near the end of the half. Seattle took over at their own 12-yard line and a five-yard rush from Marshawn Lynch brought the quarter to an end.

Cowboys Vs. Seahawks Score Update: Seattle Takes 13-7 Lead Into Halftime
The Seattle Seahawks held a 10-0 lead to open the second quarter thanks to some costly Dallas turnovers (three in the first half, two on special teams and one Tony Romo interception), but the Dallas Cowboys started the second quarter with good field position, and Romo finally got the Cowboys on the board before halftime. After Jason Witten dropped a wide open pass, Romo hit wide receiver Miles Austin for a 22-yard touchdown strike.
It was only a matter of time, given that Dallas was out-gaining the Seahawks left and right in the first quarter, converting all but one of their third downs. Despite the fact that they trailed, 10-7, after the extra point, Dallas was looking better than the Seahwaks. They converted four third downs of six or more yards on that touchdown drive.
Both teams exchanged a few poor drives and some punting ensued, but Seattle found themselves back in the red zone with about five minutes to go in the half. On a third-and-three, Russell Wilson found tight end Zach Miller for a first down and a new set of downs at the Dallas 12-yard line. Marshawn Lynch lost a couple yards and then the Seahawks were called for a false start, setting up second-and-17. Wilson then hit Sidney Rice for nine yards, bringing up a 3rd and 8.
Seattle made things worse on themselves though, drawing a delay of game penalty and bringing up a third down with 13 yards to go. Wilson hit Doug Baldwin for eight yards on the play but it wasn't enough for the first. After the two minute warning, they were forced to kick a field goal, which made it 13-7.
Dallas took over in the final two minutes, but they were eventually forced to punt. Seattle tried to run out the clock, but Dallas used all their timeouts, and then in typical Dallas fashion, muffed the punt and almost turned it over. The game went to the half at that point.

Cowboys Vs. Seahawks Score Update: Turnovers Have Seattle Up, 10-0, Through First
The Seattle Seahawks got things started against the Dallas Cowboys as well as they could have hoped. It wasn't Russell Wilson or Marshawn Lynch that jump-started them to a 10-0 lead, though, it was the special teams. Seattle kicked off to start the game, but the Cowboys fumbled the ball and Earl Thomas got the recovery at the Dallas 29-yard line. They turned that possession into three points after stalling at the 3-yard line.
Then, they managed to block a punt after forcing a three-and-out on Dallas's first possession. The blocked punt was recovered and taken in for a touchdown by Jeron Johnson. That gave Seattle a 10-0 lead with around 10 minutes to go in the first.
But Dallas started to come back, and Tony Romo led them down the field and into Seattle territory. Then, he did what he often does, and forced a pass into coverage, where Brandon Browner had an interception for Seattle. The Seahawks took over at the Dallas 46 off of the interception. A false start stalled that drive though, and Seattle was forced to punt with around five minutes remaining in the quarter.
Dallas managed to get a drive going, but Romo managed to fumble a snap with 50 seconds left. He recovered the fumble, but it was a worrying sign for Dallas, given their history. The quarter came to an end with Romo converting a third down with a 17-yard pass, but Seattle still out in front 10-0.

Sidney Rice Injury: Seahawks WR Expected To Practice Friday
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice is expected to make his return to practice on Friday, according to a report for the Seattle Times' Danny O'Neil.
O'Neil reports that head coach Pete Carroll broke the news about Rice returning to practice during a radio interview with 97.3 KIRO FM earlier on Friday. Rice sat out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday with a sore knee, causing some concern about his status for Seattle's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday. Hopefully this will quell those worries about him playing this weekend.
Rice caught four passes for 36 yards during the Seahawks week one loss to the Arizona Cardinals, catching the lone touchdown of the day tossed by rookie Russell Wilson.

Seahawks Injury Report: Zach Miller Sits Out Practice On Thursday
As the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys get ready to clash on Sunday at CenturyLink Field, Seattle tight end Zach Miller sat out of practice on Thursday, dealing with a foot injury.
Miller took part in practice on Wednesday on a limited basis, though missing practice on Thursday could signal his injury getting worse or the team is just giving him rest.
Recently signed tight end Evan Moore got a lot more reps with the No. 1 offense with Miller out, and could see increased action this Sunday. Moore played just one snap last week so any extra snaps in practice will be to his benefit.
Fellow tight end Anthony McCoy should factor to be a big part of the offensive game plan this weekend as well.

Seahawks Vs. Cowboys Injury Report: DeMarcus Ware Limited On Thursday
As the Seattle Seahawks prepare for their meeting with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday, The 'Boys are dealing with a number of key injuries, including one to linebacker DeMarcus Ware.
Ware was limited in practice on Thursday as he deals with some hamstring tightness. This was the second day in a row that he has been dealing with this issue, though is being pragmatic about his progress and giving it the proper time to heal.

Ware suffered the injury towards the end of training camp, causing him to miss the last two preseason games. It didn't affect him in week one, picking up two sacks and five tackles against the New York Giants.
Here is the remaining injury report for Dallas on Thursday:
Did not practice:
C Phil Costa (back), S Matt Johnson (hamstring), NT Jay Ratliff (ankle).
Full participation:

Fantasy Football 2012: Marshawn Lynch, Held Out Of The End Zone In Week 1, Should Have Better Luck In Week 2
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch might have been held out of the end zone in the team's 20-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but a full week of practice and a Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys should give fantasy owners hope.
Lynch battled back spasms last week and was listed as questionable heading into Week 1, but he was able to start and managed to rack up 85 yards on 21 carries against a Cardinals run defense that had stymied him and kept him out of the end zone in each of their last two meetings last year.
Fantasy owners should consider Lynch a high-end option at RB1 in Week 2, as he's had a fair amount of success against the Cowboys rush defense in the past, rushing for 201 yards and a touchdown against them last season. He also added three catches for 40 yards, which would bee a nice bonus in PPR leagues.
