Seahawks' Neiko Thorpe: Aggravates injury Sunday
Coach Pete Carroll said that Neiko Thorpe re-injured his groin during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.Thorpe missed the last six games due to a sports hernia injury prior to retaking the field on Sunday, but it looks as though he could now be set for another stint on the sideline. The 30-year-old normally does most of his damage on special teams while also providing depth at cornerback, so it wouldn't be particularly devastating to Seattle's secondary if Thorpe were to miss Thursday's game against Arizona.

Seahawks' Neiko Thorpe: Back for Sunday's game
The Seattle Seahawks activated Neiko Thorpe (sports hernia) from injured reserve Saturday.Thorpe typically sticks to special teams, where he's the Seahawks' captain, but he could immediately be leaned on defensively in Sunday's game against the Rams. Starting cornerbacks Quinton Dunbar (knee) and Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) have been ruled out, and Thorpe is a top candidate to start opposite Tre Flowers. Thorpe hasn't played more than 30 defensive snaps in a season since 2016, however, and he'll have a tough task against Rams receivers Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods.
