Seahawks' Coby Bryant: Ruled out for Sunday

Bryant (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bryant was unable to practice all week due to the knee injury he sustained in the Week 16 overtime victory over the Rams. The defensive back will miss his first game this season, and Ty Okada will likely start at strong safety in Bryant's absence.
