Pete Carroll says Riq Woolen’s benching was due to shoulder issue

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen had an opening quarter so brutal that evidently it was too much for Pete Carroll to stomach.

The second-year corner has had issues with tackling throughout his young career, and his night effectively ended with him hitting Tre Brown and not Jauan Jennings. What should’ve been a 3rd down stop turned into a conversion and an eventual touchdown for the San Francisco 49ers.

Earlier on that same drive, a sub-standard effort to contain Christian McCaffrey turned into an explosive run for the star running back.
