Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Graham (knee) will be pushed in practice as if he's preparing to play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, even though the team has no expectation the tight end will actually be available, the Seattle Times reports.

The Seahawks aren't counting on Graham's availability, but they also aren't quite ready to rule him out. Even if he does ultimately suit up, Graham wouldn't necessarily start and would presumably just have a part-time role. With Nick Vannett (ankle) already ruled out, Luke Willson may need to play the vast majority of Week 1 snaps.
