RENTON, Wash. -- The injury report for the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday was a long one, with 12 players who did not participate.
Tight end Zach Miller (ankle surgery) and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (turf toe) still are out and won't play this weekend.
Two others on the list -- running back Marshawn Lynch and center Max Unger -- were not injury related. Lynch usually takes Wednesday off and Unger had a personal matter and didn't attend practice. But Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday he expects Unger to play Sunday after missing the last four games with a foot injury.
The other eight who did not practice include receiver Doug Baldwin (groin), outside linebacker Malcolm Smith (groin), strong safety Kam Chancellor (groin), left tackle Russell Okung (calf), cornerback Byron Maxwell (calf), defensive end O'Brien Schofield (head), left guard James Carpenter (ankle) and backup center Stephen Schilling (knee).
Backup defensive tackle Jordan Hill participated on a limited basis after missing the last four games with a sprained ankle. Carroll expects Hill to play Sunday. And backup safety Jeron Johnson was a full participant after missing last weekend's game with a concussion.
Carroll said he wasn't sure about Baldwin's status for Sunday, but Baldwin told Carroll he plans to play. Carroll also said he thinks Chancellor will return to practice later this week and probably play Sunday against the New York Giants after missing the Oakland game last weekend.
Smith will not play this weekend. Carroll said Smith is on the same schedule as Miller and Wagner.
"Bobby and Zach have made a big jump," Carroll said. "We'd like to get them to work on the [practice] field next week. Both are making good progress."
Carroll expects Okung to return later this week and probably play this weekend. He isn't as confident about Carpenter.
"We don't know," Carroll said. "He's had the exact same injury before, so he knows how to deal with it. We think he might have a chance. We'll see."
If Carpenter doesn't play, the Seahawks likely would start Alvin Bailey in his spot. Bailey started at left tackle for Okung last week.
Maxwell has been out for the last four games, but Carroll says he has a chance to return this week.
"Maxey is going to practice later this week and make a bid to get back, too," Carroll said. "We'll see how it works out."
