It might be coachspeak but Pete Carroll tried to play down the idea John David Booty could return next week.
“It is a broken finger,” Carroll said. “We can see the chip in the X-rays. It’s something that is supposed to last about two, three weeks and Mark did a good job to play, so going into the week he is the starter.”
Other injuries: Zack Heberer is believed to have torn something in his shoulder and will undergo an MRI tomorrow. Sam Baker pulled his hamstring. Rey Maualuga suffered a hip pointer.
UPDATED: Kevin Ellison might have broken his nose and Heberer’s officially a bruised shoulder until tests are performed.
