RENTON — Before Wednesday’s Seahawks practice, coach Pete Carroll launched a defense of first-round pick L.J. Collier, who has been inactive for games despite being healthy two of the past three weeks.
“We don’t have any thought about that he’s not going to be a really good player,’’ Carroll said of the defensive end from TCU. “We just think it’s time and experience.”
The time for Collier to make a big move could come Sunday at Cleveland.
