Seahawks declared CBs Walter Thurmond III and DeShawn Shead, S Winston Guy, LB Leroy Hill, OGs Rishaw Johnson and John Moffitt, and OT Mike Person inactive for Week 17 versus the Rams.

Thurmond and Hill have hamstring injuries. Guy is coming off suspension, but he's obviously not playing. J.R. Sweezy will start at right guard again with Moffitt out. Marshawn Lynch (back) and Sidney Rice (knee) are both active and will start.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond III (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 17.

Thurmond hinted on his Twitter account that the injury could also keep him sidelined during the playoffs. "He's still feeling (discomfort) and that's not a good sign for this week obviously, and it's going to be hard for him to get back next week too I would think," said coach Pete Carroll. With Brandon Browner suspended for one more game, Jeremy Lane will again get the start opposite Richard Sherman in Sunday's finale.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is hoping that injured CBs Walter Thurmond III (hamstring) and Marcus Trufant (hamstring) can return for Week 16.

Thurmond appears to be ahead of Trufant in the recovery process, but neither one is expected to return to practice on Wednesday. With Richard Sherman's four-game suspension appeal to be held on Friday, both corners may end up starting on Sunday night against the 49ers.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks declared CB Walter Thurmond III (leg) inactive for Sunday' Week 12 game against the Dolphins.

Thurmond hasn't played since the Seahawks activated him off the PUP list ahead of Week 10. He's settled in as mere insurance behind the talented corner trio of Brandon Browner, Richard Sherman and Marcus Trufant. No surprises in rest of the Seahawks' inactives: WR Charly Martin, CB Byron Maxwell, G J.R. Sweezy, T Mike Person, DT Jaye Howard and DE Greg Scruggs.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks activated CB Walter Thurmond (broken fibula) from the PUP on Wednesday.

Thurmond broke his leg in October of 2011 and then re-fractured the fibula in April while he was working his way back. He returned to practice two-and-a-half weeks ago, so a decision had to be made this week. Thurmond takes the open roster spot created by the release of WR Charly Martin. He'll add depth behind starters Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman and could push Marcus Trufant for nickel duties.

Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond (broken fibula, PUP) returned to practice on Monday.

Thurmond re-fractured his leg back in April while he was working his way back, so that explains the delay in his return. Seattle will have three weeks to make a decision on him, or he'll revert to injured reserve. Thurmond was a 2010 fourth-round pick out of Oregon.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

The Seahawks expect CB Walter Thurmond (broken fibula, PUP) to practice next week when eligible.

"He's ready to go when the PUP status is lifted," coach Pete Carroll said. Thurmond would be an asset in sub-packages if he can stay healthy throughout the second half of the season. He's been plagued by severe injuries dating back to his college career at Oregon.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks placed CB Walter Thurmond (broken fibula) on reserve/PUP.

A promising athlete who's battled numerous severe injuries since his Oregon days, Thurmond will be eligible for activation in Week 7. Seattle kept five cornerbacks on its Week 1 roster: Richard Sherman, Brandon Browner, Marcus Trufant, Byron Maxwell, and Jeremy Lane.

Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond III (leg surgery) is beginning camp on the active/PUP list.

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley recently insisted the Seahawks "really are counting" on Thurmond to contribute this season, but he was using a "wheeled scooter" to get around at practice as recently as May. He'll almost certainly begin the year on reserve/PUP.

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley insists the Seahawks "really are counting" on CB Walter Thurmond III (leg surgery) this season.

Thurmond was limited to six games by a broken leg last season, and suffered a setback that has him iffy for camp. He was using a "wheeled scooter" to get around OTAs last month. If Thurmond can avoid the PUP list to begin the season, he should push Marcus Trufant for snaps in the slot.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond III (leg surgery) is still unable to put weight on his injured leg.

Thurmond is sporting a protective boot, and used a "wheeled scooter" to get around at Seahawks OTAs on Friday. Unless Thurmond begins healing at a quicker rate, he's all but assured of beginning the year on the PUP list.

Seahawks GM John Schneider confirms CB Walter Thurmond III suffered a setback in his return from a broken fibula.

"We'll see how he rehabs here," Schneider said. "He had a little setback along the way. And we'll just see how he progresses. He's been a quick healer." Veteran Marcus Trufant is expected to compete for the nickel back job behind Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond III (broken fibula) will likely start the 2012 season on the PUP list.

Thurmond was expected to be ready for training camp after receiving a 4-6 month recovery timeline in October, so it's possible he suffered a setback. He may find himself without a role upon his return, as Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman are locked in as starters, and Roy Lewis and Marcus Trufant will be competing for the nickel job.

Walter Thurmond III - DB - Seahawks

Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond III (broken leg) has yet to resume running.

Thurmond was given a 4-6 month recovery timeline after breaking his fibula in Week 7, so he's not behind schedule. He is expected to be 100 percent healthy for training camp, where he will find himself behind Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner on the depth chart.
