Seahawks' Pete Carroll says Kam Chancellor's ankle appears OK

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is hoping that tight end Zach Miller only misses a couple of games after undergoing a clean-up procedure on his ankle, but there was some good news on the injury situation Monday.

After saying last week that strong safety Kam Chancellor could have ongoing ankle problems all season, Carroll had a more optimistic response to Chancellor’s situation when asked about it after practice.

“It bothered him a lot in the San Diego game [Sept. 14],” Carroll said of Chancellor. “But he did a really good job against Denver [Sept. 21] and he looked fine [Monday]. We might be able to put that behind us. We hope so.”

Carroll also was encouraged about the progress cornerback Tharold Simon has made since undergoing minor knee surgery on Sept. 4, but Simon won’t return for the Monday night game at Washington.

“He’s doing great,” Carroll said of Simon. “He’s only a couple weeks away from getting back out here.”
