Seahawks’ offensive line survives Eagles game despite Bradley Sowell and J’Marcus Webb being inactive

The Seahawks made one eyebrow-raising decision in setting their list of seven inactives, declaring both Bradley Sowell and J’Marcus Webb inactive. That left Seattle with seven offensive linemen, with only rookies Joey Hunt and Rees Odhiambo as the backups — and Odhiambo as the only backup tackle.

Carroll said after the the game that Webb was healthy, while Sowell was left inactive while still working his way back into form following a sprained knee suffered against Arizona on Oct. 23.

Webb is the team’s highest-paid offensive lineman, signed to a two-year deal worth $5.75 million in the off-season but has played sparingly since starting the first three games in place of an injured Germain Ifedi.
