Knee - IR. Out for the season

Cory Redding arrived Monday at Seahawks headquarters to start offseason conditioning two days after Seattle traded Pro Bowl linebacker Julian Peterson to Detroit for him. Despite his billing, Redding does not see himself as a defensive tackle. He only played that role by necessity with the Lions. Redding gorged himself to get from 285 to 300 pounds in 2006, after injuries along Detroit's defensive line forced the Lions to move him inside from end. He said he will fit the Seahawks' vision of him being an end on first and second downs, as he was when Detroit drafted him. Redding said the Seahawks also told him to retain the versatility to move inside on third downs, to pass rush against slower guards.

We have to be careful though."

Josh Wilson is unlikely to play Sunday at Minnesota because of a concussion, leaving the Seahawks without a starting cornerback against Brett Favre and the Vikings. Seattle coach Jim Mora said after Wilson missed his third consecutive practice Friday that there is only a slight chance he will play. Last weekend he banged his head into the leg of Arizona Cardinals running back Beanie Wells and then the turf. Wilson returned to finish the game before being diagnosed with the concussion. Marcus Trufant, the other starting cornerback, says he was also "dinged" last weekend. He also returned to finish the game, then was diagnosed with a concussion. Trufant has practiced the last two days and Seattle expects him to start Sunday.
