The 49ers, Cardinals and Seahawks avoided announcing any major injuries following their games. However, the Seahawks got some good news on Tuesday. Offensive tackle Russell Okung, who was placed on short-term injured reserve with a torn ligament in his toe, will return to the lineup in Week 17. Okung missed eight games while recovering from his injury.
The Seahawks will host the Rams on this Sunday. The 49ers will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals in Week 17. The Arizona-San Francisco matchup has playoff implications, as a Cardinals win and a Saints loss would get a third NFC West playoff team.
