There's actually some talk of Seneca Wallace seeing some time at wideout in this article... :o

Not really any direct fantasy impact here,... but we're sayin' good-bye to one of the NFL's REALLY good guys here... From "The REAL Feed":

Great article, Steg!

Mack sounds like the kind of guy you'd want to take to lunch and then just sit back and listen to him talk.

All the best in life to him!

From OFFICIAL/LOCAL sources on "the Gridiron Newsstand", the situation with the receiving corps... Branch may return this week... BUT, he didn't practice all week, and does it really matter with Hackett, perhaps the superior wideout, now back???

"Seattle Seahawks at Cleveland Browns (Injury Report) (http://seahawks.com/Team/Team.aspx?show=injury)"

"Branch iffy (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seahawks/2003991285_hawk03.html)" (scroll down)

Branch still in "doubt", and now Alexander may be "OUT"... (I'm a poet and don't know it... ;)) From "The REAL Feed":

Slowly recovering Branch still out with sprained foot (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/11/07/2020.ap.fbn.seahawks.branch.0663/index.html)

Multiple injuries may sideline Hawks RB Alexander (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3099696&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (08.11.2007 00:49)
Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander missed practice on Wednesday and might not play on Monday.

Injured Alexander nowhere to be found as Seahawks begin preparing for 49ers (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/11/07/2020.ap.fbn.seahawks.injuries.0646/index.html)

Branch perhaps showing signs of life again. From "The REAL Feed":

Seahawks' Branch practices for first time in month (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3103165&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (10.11.2007 00:19)
Deion Branch, Seattle's leading receiver, returned to the field wearing a helmet and practice uniform for the first time since spraining his right foot early in the loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 7.

Likely OUT tonight... according to "The REAL Feed":

Alexander, Branch not expected to play on MNF (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3106521&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (12.11.2007 13:31)
Even though both Seahawks players are listed as questionable, running back Shaun Alexander and receiver Deion Branch are unlikely to play against the San Francisco 49ers on "Monday Night Football".

Is Alexander done? I mean, he's been banged up for a while now. He is nowhere near the back he was in 05, when he was MVP.

What do you all think?

Well, here's an official answer of sorts, Jim,... from "The REAL Feed":

Alexander may yield time to Morris, whenever he returns for Seahawks (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/11/14/2020.ap.fbn.seahawks.backs.0836/index.html)

Good, ole Alexander to get the start, but Morris to lighten his load... according to "The REAL Feed":

Seahawks RB Alexander to start vs. Eagles, but Morris will share more of the load (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/nfl/wires/11/30/2020.ap.fbn.seahawks.alexander.0507/index.html)
