Ed Werder is reporting Richard Sherman, the Seahawks’ No.1 cornerback and best defensive player, likely will play against the 49ers Sunday night.
Sherman is missing his third straight day of practice today to fly to New York to appeal his four-game suspension for using performance enhancing drugs. Werder says the NFL will not rule until next week, so Sherman should be able to play this week against the 49ers.

I want to beat Seattle with there best playing. I don’t want excuses from the seachickens.
*their.
El,
I get what you’re saying, but I would rather have the win. The Seahawks having excuses, or not, doesn’t bother me.
Exactly. I want the #2 seed, more importantly. We lose one, GB wins out and we’re staring at a road game to start the divisional round of the playoffs, likely in Green Bay.
Forth,
Not true we will get a home playoff game regardless if we win the division. If we beat Arizona we win the division and get a first round playoff game at home.
23Jordan,
Notice I said “staring at a road game to start the divisional round of the playoffs.”
:-)
Fourth,
My bad, reading while working not good. Lol

Tuto,
I agree, but two of their best have been found guilty of being chemically enhanced. I won’t feel bad if Sherman doesn’t play.
True.
Hasn’t Goodell ever heard the expression, “Justice delayed, is justice denied?”
Come on, Roger! Bring the hammer down, now!
I guess he’s willing to risk any playoff games on the road and then all the remaining suspension at the start of the season next week
Glad to see that he has a good chance of playing. I myself would like the Hawks to be at full strenght, in order to quiet any debate that will ensue after the Niners beat the crap out of the Hawks, using the arguement that we did not have our best players for that game.
Under,
In the short term, I agree with you. But if Sherman doesn’t play in the game, the 49ers win [effectively, securing a first round bye] and go on to win the SB, is anyone going to remember that Sherman didn’t play in Sunday’s game?
Besides, if Sherman is not allowed to play, it’s of his own doing, he cheated and was caught.

Very true in what you say, I just love the challenge of beating the best to become the best. I am not saying the Hawks are the best but they are very good team, well, until we play them Sunday nite that is.
Come on “4th and niner” fans. You really don’t expect to come into Seattle and “beat the crap” out of the “seachickens” do you? If you do think this you are in for a rude awakening. We barely lost to you in your house with a more simplified offense and we had about 8 key dropped passes. I love this rivalry as we are basically identical teams. All real hawk fans hate the niners, out of sheer respect. You all will be surprised at how good the hawks are now. They’re not the same team you played earlier. That being said, we do need Sherman to play. Already missing browner will make some hawk fans to give excuses, but not me. This will be a battle that will hinge on 1 or 3 key plays. And whose young qb makes less mistakes. One simply does not march into Seattle and beat the crap out of the Seahawks. Go Hawks! And good luck…
Good luck to you too. This will be a fantastic game and a learning experience for those around the country who aren’t very knowledgable about the NFC west, which is the best division in football. 9ers are a great road team and Seattle hasn’t exactly had to play competitive teams in the last couple of weeks. Get ready for a football fight!
With Browner out we should just pick on whoever is on the other side. Sherman will be matched with Crab and Moss and MM (if he’s playing) should feast on the trufant or anyone else. Plus Id like to see some more VD in this one. while chancelor and thomas are good their LB’s can be had in coverage
I love that for the first time in a long time we have a meaningful divisional game. This division should be the toughest division in football going forward. Well except for the Cards….
Bay,
Expect it to become even more grueling next year when the Milky Blues puts on the Cardinal red in Arizona*.
*That was an attempt at sarcasm.
Does anyone know if Manningham will be playing?
Js,
Im guessing mario wont be ready. I think we would’ve heard something by now if he was coming back this week. We could sure use him. We need a ball game from VD.
Why did we not get to the SuperBowl last year…? FUMBLES! (Kyle Williams) What would be the #1 reason we don’t win the SuperBowl this year…? FUMBLES! ( who is the most likely person to “fumble” the ball this year on the 49er’s?) Colin Kaepernick! Stop fumbling the damn football..Colin. Thank you,
Even if it does result in a touchdown occasionally…..”I’m Frank (the tank) Gore, and I approve this message….and remember to get out and vote for me “Pro Bowl” this year in Hawaii.
Go Niners! Call me a – Joseph “Smither” errrr. Alex Smither… 49er loving Mormon fan,
but I could quickly be baptized a “Kaepernicker”…even if you would have to go through a long painful process of “tattooing”(if that’s a word)?
I know Mitt Romney, a Mormon, lost….but, Steve Young a Mormon, won….Alex Smith a mormon? I don’t know and don’t really care. I just know that he doesn’t fumble the ball and has just as good a chance as Colin to win the SuperBowl for us…Chances with Tolzien at QB and winning? Probably about 2%…so don’t start him Jim…Please! Don’t start Tolzien, in the Superbowl. Thanks.
I know somebody is going to comment that they “I’m, (type name) don’t approve this message” , so go ahead if you have to.
Seahawks get blown out of the sky this week 28-13
Mitt Romney does not approve of this message
Jeff the fumbled snaps did not cost us the game so I wouldn’t even worry about it this week. Im sure JH replaced Alex because Smith couldn’t take us to the big dance. Now let’s get ready for the playoffs with a win this week.
Yes, we get it. Smith didn’t screw up very often. “I just know that he doesn’t fumble the ball and has just as good a chance as Colin to win the SuperBowl for us…” He also has never passed for 4 TD’s in a game like CK did last week, on the road, against Tom Brady and the Patriots. Pretty good for what some of the non believers like to passive aggressively refer to as a “running QB.” The HCOY believes that CK gives the team the best opportunity to win the Super Bowl, I’ll roll with him, you should too. I like the score prediction!
Alex Smith is not a Mormon and you are a Crescent wre4nch…
Feel free to keep the 4, no really, no problem…
Mormons like Alex Smith, believe the Garden of Eden is Jackson Mississippi, and Jesus came to upstate New York.
@Grimey what in the hell does this football conversation have to do with religon
Look what I’m responding to old coach.
Use your diamond glasses to look at what he responded too.
Thanks jsand, but we already cleared it up and I can fight my own battles. Has anyone seen the southpark episode all about mormons? Brilliant.
http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s07e12-all-about-mormons
no but i do really want to see the book of mormon.. I hear its hilarious
I highly recommend Book of Mormon if you get a chance. I saw it last week. It’s genius.
Anyone that steps on someone else’s religion for any reason is an immature and ignorant turd. Nice job Grimey. You really are a winner.
Book of Mormon was crazy good. Edgy and funny.
“hasa diga eebowai”
With the holiday season upon us, I would just like to wish everyone a Happy Festivus.
Thanks Coffee. I appreciate that coming from you.

@bay “Does that mean no worries for the rest of your days?” “But I already said it like 13 times” LOL
@ Jack
I already put up my aluminum pole and I’m inviting Coffee over for the feats of strength.
@ Jack:
It seems like we do the Airing of Grievances 365 days a year on this blog.
Mormon? I’m not sure about you guys, but I prefer MoreWomen :)
Careful with that pun Nick, it’s an antique.
Grimey/Claude,
LMAO! Very true, but I want in on those feats of strength : )
Grant, will the Hawks now just double up Aldon with JS out of the game? How do you see our pass rush with him out. Can RJF be effective?
Thanks
Isnt RJF the back up NT? Why cant Sopoaga play Smith’s position and RJF slide to NT?
RJF is the backup DT. That is a great suggestion, Grant will have some insight on that I hope.
RJF looked pretty damn good at DE at the end of the Pats game.
Sopoaga played DE before and was pretty good. I think he can do a decent job at tying up 2 defenders for Aldon to wreak havoc.
@Grimey sorry i came in to the middle of a conversation and popped off. Maybe i should have an idea of what posters are responding to before i open my mouth.
no big deal old coach. I’m usually the last person to bring up religion but I just saw the Book of Mormon last week (it was hilarious and I highly recommend seeing it to anyone that isn’t overly sensitive) and I find mormons to be pretty ridiculous in general and easy targets to make fun of(all you have to do is point out the truth). Go Niners!
Given how many of these appeals are actually won by the players they should still be suspended during the appeal process.
