There's a headline Seahawks fans aren't used to reading, but it's true.
The Seahawks are healthier than the Rams. The one thing St. Louis does very well -- run the football -- could be a problem against Seattle in Week 12.
An injured neck ligament is bothering Rams fullback Mike Karney. A concussion continues to sideline right tackle Jason Smith. A foot injury will likely sideline right guard Richie Incognito for another week. Back soreness prevented running back Steve Jackson from practicing Wednesday.
The cumulative effect of those injuries could make life easier for the Seahawks, particularly as the Rams break in a new quarterback.
Last week, I thought the Rams had a chance to beat the Cardinals or Seahawks. The odds seem longer now.
