RENTON, Wash. -- Cornerback Richard Sherman (back), defensive end Michael Bennett (toe), backup center Stephen Schilling (knee) and cornerback Tharold Simon (knee) were new additions Thursday to the list of players who did not practice for the Seattle Seahawks. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll does not talk to reporters on Thursdays, so we won’t know the status of these players until after practice Friday. It would be a big surprise if either Sherman or Bennett had injuries that would keep them from playing Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. Simon is a concern for a couple of reasons. He returned from knee surgery two games ago and is starting for Byron Maxwell, who has been out for two games with a calf strain. Maxwell did not practice again Thursday. Schilling has started the last three games for center Max Unger, who has returned to practice this week on a limited basis after suffering a foot injury Oct. 6 against the Washington Redskins. Also not practicing Thursday were linebacker Malcolm Smith (groin), defensive tackle Jordan Hill (ankle) and backup safety Jeron Johnson (concussion). Guard James Carpenter was a full participant in practice after being limited Wednesday with back spasms. Running back Marshawn Lynch also returned to practice after his usual off day Wednesday.
