He was expected to see significant time in the game, coach Pete Carroll going so far as to say he would split time with Golden Tate at split end during the game.

Edwards practiced throughout the week up through Saturday's walk-through. His knee was swollen when he woke up Sunday morning, however. He had fluid drained from the knee, and warmed up on the field with quarterback Russell Wilson before the game, but after that, his knee again began to swell.

He was the only surprise among Seattle's scratches. Defensive tackle Jason Jones is out with an ankle injury, but he was listed as doubtful after he was unable to practice all week. Rookie Greg Scruggs will take his spot in the nickel pass rush. Rookie Jaye Howard -- the team's fourth-round pick -- remains inactive.
