Seeing Sebastian Janikowski hobble off the field in their latest game has the Seahawks preparing a rarely seen alternative for field goals and points after touchdowns.
Their rookie Pro Bowl punter drop-kicking them.
That’s what Michael Dickson was doing Wednesday at the start of the team’s indoor practice open to the media.
It’s just in case the 40-yard Janikowski falls again and doesn’t get up and play on as Seattle’s placekicker, as he did Sunday night during the win over Kansas City. The Chiefs’ Jordan Lucas was trying to block a field goal in the third quarter but instead landed onto Janikowski’s plant leg and knocked him to the turf.
