RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks have placed strong safety Delano Hill on injured reserve because of a fracture in his hip.
Coach Pete Carroll announced the move on Tuesday and called it a non-displaced fracture that Hill suffered in Sunday's game.
Hill started the past two games while Tedric Thompson was sidelined by chest and ankle injuries. On his 710 ESPN Seattle radio show on Monday, Carroll praised the way Hill played and didn't dismiss the possibility of keeping him in the starting lineup for Seattle's wild-card game against the Dallas Cowboys, even though Thompson is expected to be back this week.
