Jimmy Graham questionable for game against 49ers

Seahawks' Jimmy Graham is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Tim Booth of The Associated Press reports.

The tight end appeared to injure his ankle in Monday's game against to the Atlanta Falcons. CBS Sports writes that his ability to return suggests the injury isn't serious, but the Seahawks nonetheless held him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday.

With the Seahawks (6-4) having lost two out of three games to remain behind the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West and missing several key defensive players, led by cornerback Richard Sherman and safety Kam Chancellor, they are focused on getting their season going in the right direction headed into Sunday's game at San Francisco (1-9).

The Seahawks are usually at their best at this time of year, going 34-9 after the start of November over the past five seasons to overcome some slow starts and get into position for a playoff run.

But that has not been the case this season. Seattle lost at home to Washington three weeks ago and then this past Monday at home to the Falcons as the injuries have taken a toll.

"November and December have been good months for us," Carroll said. "And that's kind of where we are right now. Unfortunately we're in the same situation. I wish we were ahead of those numbers, but we're kind of in the same spot."

"We're just preparing for the 49ers," Carroll said. "They've got a style of offense, they've got really good players that do what they do. Whoever's triggering it from the quarterback spot, we're going to go play football."
