Brian Russell News

The Texans are playing their must-win game today at Jacksonville without running back Steve Slaton, receiver Jacoby Jones and cornerback Glover Quin.

Wilson has started eight games for the Texans this season and has 29 tackles, a forced fumble and two interceptions.

The Jacksonville Jaguars today signed fourth-year offensive lineman Paul McQuistan and released veteran safety Brian Russell.

Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan is fast, very fast. And he refuses to even think about racing teammate Chris Johnson.

There is track speed and there is football speed, both of which are defined by the ability to move at a higher rate of speed than nearly everyone else on the field, the most defining trait of a playmaker.

It was a record-breaking performance by the Jaguars' defense. But not the kind to brag about.

Record: 53-51. Last week: Lost at Seattle 41-0. Key stat: The Jaguars were shut out for the third time in franchise history.

Returning to the field where he served as the team's starting free safety for two seasons only to end up a surprise cut as the team whittled down to its 53-man roster, former Seattle Seahawk Brian Russell stayed true to form, saying he viewed his return to Qwest Field as only a business trip.

Coach Jim Mora has recanted his blistering criticism of Olindo Mare. He now says the Seahawks will not have a new kicker this weekend at Indianapolis.

Answers to some questions piling up this week. BobbyK asks: How important is Kenny Lucas and his good health now days?!?! Williams: Lucas is a little ding up and is dealing with a groin issue, which has been documented on the teama TMs injury report this week.

Courtney Greene was all set to return Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie from New Rochelle had completed rehab for his sprained left knee, and after being cut by Seattle Labor Day weekend, he was prepared to reach the NFL by way of the practice squad.

Week 2: The Seattle Times' blog now returns to its regularly scheduled programming with an enumerated list of just how surprising Sunday's game was.

Never has one rather small action had such big NFL repercussions. I'm talking about the unnecessary roughness penalty Vernon Davis drew the last time the Seahawks visited Candlestick Park.

Vernon Davis remembers it all too well, the San Francisco 49ers' game with Seattle last October at Candlestick Park.

It didn't take much to jog Vernon Davis' memory. Asked about the last time he faced the Seattle Seahawks, he smiled wide.

Associated Press The play and leadership of Matt Hasselbeck will go a long way toward determining the Seattle Seahawksa TM success.

Jordan Babineaux's ability to make big plays was the driving force in the decision to release starter Brian Russell last weekend, according to Seattle Seahawks coach Jim Mora, who said Babineaux will start ahead of newly signed Lawyer Milloy.

Jordan Babineaux moves into the starting lineup at free safety. Even when he was playing under the dim lights of Division II college football, even when he was cleaning campus buildings as a work study job, Jordan Babineaux believed this day would come.
