Percy Harvin did not practice with the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday and appears unlikely to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“He’s with the rehab guys,” Pete Carroll said of Harvin. “We’ll see how that goes, then see what [Thursday] brings. With the workload he’s endured to get back in shape, there’s going to be some stuff and he’s been a little bit sore.” 

Harvin had hip surgery on Aug. 1 to repair a torn labrum.

Sidney Rice will miss the remainder of the 2013 season with a torn ACL.

Rice was injured in the Seattle Seahawks' 14-9 win over the St. Louis Rams.

Rice was third on the Seahawks with 15 catches for 231 yards.

Percy Harvin is getting closer to making his debut with the Seattle Seahawks, but he won't play on Monday against the St. Louis Rams.

The Seahawks are anxious to get Harvin out on the field, but they have a 6-1 record and are far from desperate to rush him.

The Trench Counter attempts to determine which teams win the battle at the line of scrimmage and isolate flukish plays. With seven weeks of data in the books, the Trench Counter can identify teams that are overrated or underrated relative to their record and the perception of oddsmakers in Vegas.

Here are three games that are vulnerable for bettors based on the Trench Counter.

Green Bay Packers (6.32) at Minnesota Vikings (-3.98), Packers -8.5:  Minnesota has struggled mightily over the past two weeks in the Trench Counter, averaging -9.60, even worse than the Jacksonville Jaguars (-8.30). Despite injuries to their receivers, Green Bay has put together a string of great games, placing them third in the year to date rankings. Add in Adrian Peterson's hamstring injury and the Packers cover at Minnesota.

Washington Redskins (-0.97) at Denver Broncos (4.56), Redskins +13.5: Since Week 2, the Redskins have moved up in the Trench Counter rankings from 30 to 19. Denver on the other hand, has been average over the past three weeks. This one we focus on trends. With Robert Griffin III now playing like last year's version, the Redskins may not win this in Denver, but they keep it close enough to take it with the big spread.

Seattle Seahawks (9.49) at St. Louis Rams (-5.64), Seahawks -10.5:  Yes, Seattle plays much worse on the road than at home. Yes, Seattle lost two of the past three seasons at St. Louis. Yes, Seattle only outscored four road opponents by a total of 14 points. However, none of those teams had Kellen Clemens starting at quarterback. Seattle, the top team in the Trench Counter rankings, win and cover.

Matt Hasselbeck will retire from the NFL at the end of the 2013 season.

After many successful seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, Hasselbeck is currently a backup for Andrew Luck with the Indianapolis Colts.

Chris Greenwood turned down practice squad offers from three other teams to remain with the Detroit Lions.

The Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks expressed interest.

Greenwood was selected by the Lions in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Percy Harvin will return to practice with the Seattle Seahawks next week.

Harvin underwent hip surgery this offseason and is ahead of schedule in his return.

The Seahawks traded for Harvin in a deal with the Minnesota Vikings.

Many NFL players and coaches dislike the concept of Thursday night games, but Richard Sherman isn't one of them.

The Seattle Seahawks travel to play the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.

“I think it’s fun,” Sherman said. “I think it’s going to be a bunch of fun. You always are looking for your next opportunity on the field, win, lose or draw. You always want to just get right back out there. I think people would rather play than practice, so shoot, it’s a lot of fun for us.” 

Sherman believes the short week benefits teams like the Seahawks because of their excellent depth.

“Definitely, because you never really know in the NFL how the injury situation is,’’ Sherman said. “Legs get weathered in a game and things like that. We know we have defensive backs who can step in, we have linebackers that can step in in a short week. The defensive line has incredible depth, and on the offensive side you see the receiving corps can mismatch any parts they want. I think that is huge for us in a game like this where the legs aren’t always 100 percent.” 

Percy Harvin is "getting very close" to making his debut with the Seattle Seahawks, according to comments from Pete Carroll on Monday.

Harvin underwent hip surgery before the start of the season.

The Seahawks will play the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday on a short week.

Marshawn Lynch received a $5,250 fine for wearing green shoes in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.

NFL players are required to wear the same color shoes as their teammates.

Lynch has been fined for the offense in the past.
