SEATTLE — Baby steps.
That was how Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer described the progress of forward Jordan Morris last week as he recovered from a strained hamstring. Morris exited at halftime in the Sounders’ second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals against FC Dallas on Nov. 6, leaving his postseason fate in doubt.
Morris was only a half-participant in training leading into the first leg of the Western Conference Championship against the Colorado Rapids on Tuesday night, and he was officially listed as questionable.
But none of that mattered in the Sounders’ 2-1 win.
