Seahawks trying to temper expectations for Josh Gordon

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is trying to temper the expectations as Josh Gordon is integrated into the team.

Right now, Carroll is more concerned about just seeing Gordon get through a full week of practice.

"He's a smart football guy. He's going to get it. It's not going to take him very long. I just need to see him practice. I can't tell you anything right now," Carroll said Thursday.

The speed with which Gordon is able to pick up the Seahawks' system and find a role — even if it's small — will ultimately determine if he plays Monday night when the Seahawks face division foe San Francisco.
