The Seahawks had their starting offensive line intact for their most important game yet this season.
J.R. Sweezy was active and ready to start at left guard for Seattle in the NF wild-card game at the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night.
His return along with that of starting right guard D.J. Fluker from a strained hamstring meant Germain Ifedi went back to starting at right tackle, where he was for the 14 games he was healthy and active this regular season. Ifedi started for Fluker last weekend in the regular-season finale against Arizona.
The starters back in place moved George Fant back to his regular role as extra tight end when the Seahawks went to six offensive linemen to lead what was the NFL’s top rushing offense in the regular season.
