Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed on Saturday that center Nick Harris will carry no injury designation heading into the team's upcoming championship matchup. The announcement was made to pool reporter Kalyn Kahler as the team finalized its final walkthrough and preparations.
When asked about the status of the veteran offensive lineman, Macdonald provided a brief and lighthearted update to the media. "No designation for Nick," Macdonald said, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. "Turns out he's alive."
The news provides a significant boost to the Seahawks' offensive line depth. Nick Harris had been monitored closely throughout the week of practice, but the lack of an official injury designation suggests he is fully cleared for game action. Per @RapSheet, the team is moving forward with Harris as a full participant for Sunday.
The Seahawks are expected to have nearly their entire active roster available for the contest. The clearance of Harris ensures stability at the center position, which has been a key component of Seattle's offensive success throughout the postseason run. Macdonald's comments indicate that the interior of the offensive line will be at full strength.
