RENTON, Wash.
Nahuel Guzman Argentina Jersey . -- Pete
Carroll told Percy Harvin that the Seattle Seahawks were considering placing him
on injured reserve to open up a roster spot ahead of the post-season. Harvins
response: "Coach Im ready to play ball." That conversation less than two weeks
ago was the start of a return that took another significant step on Thursday
when Carroll announced Harvin would play on Saturday against New Orleans in an
NFC divisional playoff game. "Were excited about him going and excited for him.
Its been a long, long haul for a guy thats such a great competitor and it means
so much," Carroll said. "For him to have the opportunity to join us now is
really exciting, I know, for him and us, too." There will be no limitations on
how Seattle can use its biggest off-season acquisition, brought to Seattle in a
trade with Minnesota. Harvin ended up a spectator for most of the 2013 regular
season, but now could make his biggest impact in the playoffs as a wide receiver
and kick returner. It could be a big boost to Seattles offence, which slumped
late in the season. "Im just glad to be out there helping my team win right now.
The playoffs, thats what we all dream about, to have home-field advantage, to
have all the things the team has put in place. It would be hard for me to try to
not be out there," Harvin said. "Everything worked out for the best and Im
looking forward to being out there and helping this team win." Harvin missed the
first 2 1/2 months of the season following hip surgery in early August. He
returned in Week 11 against Minnesota and caught one pass and had a 58-yard
kickoff return. Harvin was then sidelined again by what Carroll called
"soreness." But Harvins problems went beyond just soreness. He had fluid buildup
and swelling in his hip following that game against the Vikings, a 41-20 Seattle
victory. "I kind of knew during the game. Something quite didnt feel right,"
Harvin said. "But it was expected. It was expected but we didnt know to that
extreme. It came and that was a setback that we had. We had two, three of them
but they are in the past." The turning point for Harvin came on Dec. 30 when
Carroll essentially gave an ultimatum, saying the team was considering putting
him on injured reserve. Harvin was impressive enough during a 15-minute workout
with quarterback Russell Wilson that Carroll delayed making a roster decision.
Harvin took part in practice both days last week while Seattle was on its bye
and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. "Im
just looking to fit in anywhere I can. This offence has done its share and
wouldnt be in this position that it is right now," Harvin said. "This team is
already set. The foundation is set. Im just looking to jump on the bus and enjoy
the ride." The Seahawks also expect rookie tight end Luke Willson to be able to
play less than two weeks after he was taken off the field on a cart after
injuring his left ankle against St. Louis in the regular season finale. Willson
was initially feared to have a fracture, but was later diagnosed with a
high-ankle sprain. He was a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday.
"They checked him out right off the bat and looked like he had a broken leg, and
they checked him out again later that night and he didnt," Carroll said. "So all
I can tell you is it was remarkable whatever happened in there."

. McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the
start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying
the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English
football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger
into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted

injury. Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Monday he expects Gabbert to
miss Sundays game at Denver because of a strained hamstring. The injury knocked
Gabbert out of Sundays 34-20 loss at St. Louis. Bradley also reiterated that hes
planning to stick with Gabbert, the 10th overall pick in the 2011 draft, as the
starter when hes healthy again. "Right now, thats what I think," Bradley said.
"There are some crazy things that can happen, I guess. ... Well see how Blaine
does this week with his injury. I know its very important for him to get back,
and hes going to do everything he can to get back." Chad Henne will make his
third start of the season. Henne has completed 56 per cent of his passes for 601
yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He has been sacked eight
times. Gabbert has been considerably worse. He has completed 49 per cent of his
passes for 481 yards, with a TD and seven INTs. Three of his picks have been
returned for touchdowns -- one in every start. Gabbert also has been sacked 12
times. Equally troubling for the Jaguars (0-5) is that Gabbert cant seem to stay
healthy. He has failed to finish six of his last 10 starts, including the
preseason. Hes had a shoulder injury, a forearm injury, a broken thumb, a
sliced-open hand and now a strained hamstring. He also missed time with a
sprained ankle in training camp. "That is something that we have to take a look
at, not only within our training and strength and conditioning, but also
Blaine," Bradley said. "These things have surfaced up. And its so important to
be able to trust that hes going to stay healthy. And for whatever reason, these
things have happened. I know his workouts and hes training and hes doing these
things. But we have to take a look at that. "We have to take a look at it and
see why. We have to reeally study it.
Diego Maradona Jersey. But I cant argue the
fact that some things have popped up for him." The Jaguars had planned to give
Gabbert every chance to prove he can be the franchises starter. They pointed to
potential reasons why he struggled as a rookie and showed little progress last
season. But Gabberts durability questions and his inability to move the ball
with any consistency have most outsiders questioning his viability as an NFL
quarterback. "I think at times maybe the quarterback is held separately than the
rest of the team, and for us and my mindset, its not," Bradley said. "If the
receiver makes a mistake out there in a critical situation, then hes held
accountable. If its the quarterback, then so be it, the quarterback as well. (On
Sunday), there were times it was the quarterback." The Jaguars have lost every
game by double digits. They looked to have a shot at breaking a nine-game losing
streak Sunday until Gabbert badly overthrew a pass to Justin Blackmon. It was
picked off and returned 82 yards for a score. "I feel strongly about Blaine, but
there were missed opportunities by Blaine this week and hes got to step up in
the pocket, hes got to stay strong, hes got to play with confidence and make
those passes that he does in practice," Bradley said. "And thats the next step
for him. Were always competing." In other injury news, tight end Marcedes Lewis
(calf) will miss another game. Fellow tight end Allen Reisner will be out at
least six weeks with a sprained knee ligament. Receiver Stephen Burton, safety
Dwight Lowery and defensive end Jeremy Mincey all will try to pass concussion
tests Tuesday. Receiver Mike Brown (back) and cornerback Dwayne Gratz (ankle)
are expected to practice in a limited capacity this week. The Jaguars also were
awarded receiver Stephen Williams off waivers from Seattle.
