When asked Wednesday whether Smith would play, Carroll said, &#8220;I&#8217;m thinking he is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported Smith has been trending toward playing over the past few days and that nothing has yet changed on that front.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Geno Smith returns from elbow injury to nearly lead Seahawks to last-second win over Rams            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 12: Six things to watch for during Thanksgiving Day games            <\/li>\n<li>              Week 12 NFL injury report for 2023 season            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Smith completed 22 of 34 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown on Sunday and helped build a 16-7 lead for Seattle. When he came back with 1:31 remaining, Smith hit three passes to set up a 55-yard field-goal try for Jason Myers, which missed.<\/p>\n<p>The news is less encouraging for Walker III, who suffered an oblique injury in the first quarter against the Rams. Carroll said Walker probably would not require a stint on injured reserve, but his availability for this week is very much in question.<\/p>\n<p>Smith hasn&#8217;t had as prolific a season as he did a year ago, marred by two separate injuries that have knocked him out of games. After a career-high 30 TDs in 17 games last season, Smith has thrown for only 12 in 10 outings. His completion percentage and passing averages also are down.<\/p>\n<p>But even in his career year, Smith and the Seahawks couldn&#8217;t crack the 49ers&#8217; code, losing all three meetings in 2022 \u2013 including a wild-card playoff game at Levi&#8217;s Stadium. Smith threw for three TDs and completed 74% of his passes in the three losses but also had three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble).<\/p>\n<p>Walker leads the Seahawks with 621 rushing yards and six rushing scores. Rookie Zach Charbonnet took over for Walker against the Rams, rushing for 47 yards on a career-high 15 carries and catching six passes (on six targets) for 22 yards. Rookie Kenny McIntosh is also expected to make his pro debut, Carroll said earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/seahawks-qb-geno-smith-elbow-questionable-for-thanksgiving-night-vs-49ers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The door remains open for Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith to play in Thursday night&#8217;s game against the 49ers, but another key offensive piece for Seattle appears less likely.
