Coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that the Seahawks are optimistic Cross (hamstring) can return to action in the next one-to-two weeks, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Cross has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the 49ers but could be eyeing a return to the field in the wild-card round if Seattle doesn't clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win over San Francisco. Josh Jones (ankle) is expected to make the start at left tackle Saturday.

Seahawks' Charles Cross: Won't play Week 18 vs. Niners
Rotowire
Cross (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Cross will miss a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. The winner of Saturday's game between the Seahawks and 49ers will determine who earns the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the playoffs and the bye week that comes with it, so a Seattle win would give Cross more time to recover from his injury. Josh Jones (knee/ankle - questionable) would likely start at left tackle once again in Cross's absence, assuming the former is cleared to play.
