RENTON, Wash. -- Pete Carroll didn't sound hopeful Wednesday about cornerback Shaquill Griffin making it back this week from a concussion, which means the Seattle Seahawks' secondary is likely to again be without three starters Sunday at San Francisco.
It's a situation that isn't the least bit ideal but one that could be a whole lot worse if it weren't for the Seahawks having brought back Byron Maxwell, whom they signed last week to reinforce their cornerback depth after losing Richard Sherman to a season-ending Achilles injury.
It was a no-brainer of a move.
