Chris Spencer has started 11 games at center this season, but will be replaced this Sunday by rookie Max Unger as coach Jim Mora searches for leadership and toughness on his offensive line.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that ex-Seahawks general manager Tim is a candidate worth paying serious attention to for the Browns' vacant general manager position.

He's a wonder through the first 11 games, and a disaster through the final five.

With Tim Ruskell sitting at the same table Thursday morning, Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke bluntly and honestly explained why Ruskell, the team's president and general manager, was leaving.

Seeing the Seahawks listed with the Bucs, Lions, Bills and Chiefs for having zero players among the leaders in Pro Bowl balloting affirmed the decline we have seen on the field.

Good night everybody, thanks for coming, see you next year. For the second straight season, the Seahawks are done in November.

Well, the move the Seattle Seahawks were anticipated to make for weeks finally happened today, as head coach Jim Mora announced that cornerstone offensive tackle Walter Jones has been placed on the season-ending injured reserve list today.

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck survived an onslaught of Arizona defenders two weeks ago, but his fractured ribs remain sore as he prepares for Sunday's game at Dallas.

The anticlimactic announcement Wednesday that future Hall of Fame left tackle Walter Jones will not play this season comes as no surprise.

Working as a scout team player on Seattle's practice squad just a week ago, Kyle Williams is now likely to get the start at left tackle on Sunday when the Seahawks entertain Arizona in a key NFC West matchup.

As the injuries mount up for the second straight year, it's tempting to start pointing fingers.

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando The Seahawks are not sure whether Matt Hasselbeck will be available for Week 3. They have released no new information.

Jim Mora opened his Wednesday press conference by using a bit of humor to bring levity to a downer of a situation.
