Pete Carroll says Geno Smith "feels really good" as he tries to return this week from his groin injury.

Smith has been described as day-to-day. Drew Lock started in Week 14 with the veteran quarterback sidelined. The Seattle Seahawks have an extra day this week with the Philadelphia Eagles coming to town on Monday night.

"He had a good lift this morning, so we'll see how each day goes, but one day at a time and we'll figure that out," Carroll said. "I know it's a big concern to everybody, but he feels really good. He threw the heck out of the ball in the morning session, so we'll see what happens today with the [real] hope that he's ready to go. And if not, Drew's going to be there. We'll mix reps to make sure that everybody's prepared, but that's a good sign for us and for Geno's sake. He wants to play in the worst way."

Smith injured his groin in practice last Thursday.
