Pete Carroll radio show notes: Wagner leap ‘a judgment call,’ and Mychal Kendricks could miss 49ers game with knee injury

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll on his ESPN 710 Seattle radio show Tuesday that a review of the film of Bobby Wagner’s leap over the line to block a field goal in Monday night’s win over the Vikings showed it was close enough to within the rules to be “a judgment call.’’

Carroll also said linebacker Mychal Kendricks suffered a knee injury and that his status for next Sunday’s game against the 49ers is uncertain.
