It isn't looking good for Matt Barkley who missed his third consecutive practice today. Reports out there said he tried to throw before practice but had difficulty with his bruised shoulder. Pete Carroll may wait till game time to make a decison on who the starter will be. I would rather faced a dinged up Matt Barkley than the more mobile Aaron Corp. I think at this point the odds are pretty good that Corp will be the starter on Saturday.
Safety Taylor Mays is still out. He is expected to try to play. CB Marshall Jones would start at safety of Mays is not ready to go.
TB Joe McKnight missed practice today because of migraines.

Husky reserve DT DeShon Matthews won't play of Saturday as he recovers from a bruised knee.
DE Darrion Jones is now practicing and could start on Saturday.
