Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren was downplaying this injury to Shaun's wrist, and was intent on not comparing it to the crack in Shaun's foot, but he did say the doctors took some more pictures of Shaun's wrist and discovered a small crack in it.

The net-net, Holmgren said, is that the cast he is wearing to protect it is a long-term thing, not a short-term fix. He also admitted that the wrist is having an affect on Alexander, from the way he carries the ball to being able to shift the ball to catching the ball to the way he falls to the ground. It is an issue, Holmgren said, but, again, he was trying to de-emphasize it.

Holmgren also said that Shaun started out with a smaller cast on during yesterday's game, then after he seemed to hurt it they put a bigger cast on it immobilize it. Or stabilize it. Are stabilize and immobilize the same thing? Whatever, they are trying to do both the his wrist.
