C.J. Prosise has a scapula issue in his shoulder and will miss some time, according to Pete Carroll.

Carroll said Prosise could return this season "but it will be a while," the coach said.

Andy Reid, then coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, called Pete Carroll angrily after the Seattle Seahawks picked Russell Wilson 75th overall in 2012.

Reid and the Eagles were hoping to draft Wilson 13 picks later.

Reid is now the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Eagles will take on the Seahawks this Sunday afternoon.

"I don't think (Seahawks GM John Schneider) specifically thought the Eagles were any more of a threat than other teams -- I don't know that -- but I know that Andy called us right after the pick, though, and gave John some trouble about it," Carroll said. "They're old friends. But we were really sweating it out. We wanted him the whole way, and John had it figured obviously perfectly for us to get it done. There were a couple other teams that called in right after that, too. Andy was the first guy to call, though. We felt very fortunate.

"(Andy) was just giving John a hard time for taking his guy. Kind of regular banter that happens during the draft."

The Seattle Seahawks have released Christine Michael.

Michael, who started seven games this season, rushed 117 times for 469 yards. C.J. Prosise has played more snaps than Michael the last two weeks and Thomas Rawls is set to return from a broken fibula this week.

The Seattle Seahawks are planning on having Thomas Rawls back in their lineup for Week 11 when they play the Philadelphia Eagles.

"Thomas is ready to go," Carroll said, via ESPN.com's Sheil Kapadia. "He's going to practice to play this week."

The Seahawks' power run game has slumped the past few weeks with Christine Michael seeing fewer and fewer totes. In Sunday's win over the New England Patriots, shifty rookie C.J. Prosise took the majority of snaps, leading the team with 17 carries for 66 yards rushing and adding seven receptions for 87 yards.

Rawls has missed the last seven games with a fibula injury.

Richard Sherman was fined $9,115 for his hit on Dan Carpenter. 

The play occurred at the end of the first half Monday night. Sherman was flagged for jumping offside on the play, but the officials didn't immediately blow the whistle.

Sherman said he was trying to block the kick.

Sherman maintained that he was simply playing to the whistle, and replays show the whistle was not blown until after the collision took place.

"There was no whistle," Sherman said Wednesday. "So the league goes back and hindsights everything and says this and says that because they want to appease the fans, but I know the rulebook, and I know exactly what I was doing on the play."

With Tuesday's elections, 10 NFL teams play in a state where marijuana has been legalized medically or recreationally.

California and Massachusetts joined Washington and Colorado as states where marijuana can be consumed for any purpose. If the Raiders relocate to Las Vegas, that won't change as Nevada has legalized marijuana for recreational purposes.

Florida is one of various states to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes. 

The NFL previously justified their ongoing ban because federal law considers marijuana as a controlled substance.

The 49ers, Raiders, Rams, Chargers and Patriots joined the Seahawks, Broncos, Jaguars, Dolphins and Buccaneers.

There were several minutes of confusion in the first half of Monday night's game between the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks leading up to a missed 54-yard field goal.

The issue began over whether Richard Sherman should have been penalized for unnecessary roughness against Carpenter.

"Ridiculous," Rex Ryan said. "Absolutely ridiculous. [Officials' explanation] doesn't matter [because] it was wrong. It's clear what happened: The guy roughed our kicker. Jumps offside and roughs our kicker."

Carpenter, initially attempting a 53-yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining in the half, appeared to be injured when Sherman went offside and fell into Carpenter's legs. The play was blown dead because of Sherman's penalty. Sherman also appeared to get away with an unnecessary roughness penalty that wasn't called by Walt Anderson's officiating crew.

Anderson defended his decision after the game.

"I didn't feel like the actions and the contact, because we were shutting the play down, warranted a foul," he told a pool reporter after the game, adding that the stadium was "loud" and that Sherman might not have known officials had blown the play dead.

"One of the things we're just looking for is, does the player have a chance to realize that we're shutting the play down from that standpoint," Anderson said, "and whether or not he has an opportunity to avoid any type of contact once he realizes that we're getting the play shut down."

Richard Sherman told reporters Thursday that TV ratings are down because “this is entertainment, and they’re no longer allowing the players to entertain…to show any kind of personality, any kind of uniqueness, any individuality.”

Sherman said Roger Goodell “hasn’t done a great job, and it’s obvious,” and also teed off on NFL rules that make things harder on defenses.

“The league isn’t fun anymore,” he said.

Sherman also believes the NFL has a false commitment to player safety.

“That’s for public perception,” he said. “They don’t care about player safety. I’ve said that several times. But they do care about paying the quarterback $20 million and him missing a season

“They’re tired of $20 million quarterbacks sitting the bench or [being on] IR for the whole season, so they’re going to do whatever they can to protect their investments.”
