With Paul Richardson headed to the IR, fellow rookie WR Kevin Norwood is in line for a bigger role in the Seahawks passing game. "We’re excited to see [Norwood] play,” Pete Carroll said. “He’ll do a really good job, we totally trust that he knows what’s going on and can make the plays...we think he’s going to be a very effective player. We just haven’t seen a lot of him so that you would know that, but we’re OK about that. We’re going to definitely miss Paul, because he’s making a lot of big plays and tough catches in tough situations and stuff, so we’ll miss him.

Fantasy Impact

There was no timetable given on Norwood's return. Norwood's injury injury has been lingering since high school and just became too much to play on.
