OK, I double-checked with the Seahawks and Bobby Engram cannot be placed on the physically unable to perform list. The player would have had to be placed on the PUP before camp started (like Tubbs, Branch or Plackemeier) in order to be eligible for the PUP list.

What this means is that somebody like Justin Forsett or David Hawthorne is going to lose a roster spot because there will be a dead spot -- and possibly two with Branch -- on the roster until one or both of those guys get back. It does bode well for Jordan Kent or Michael Bumpus. Holmgren revised his earlier calculations of 11 RBs/WRs, saying they would have to carry more WRs. Forsett's best option was to squeeze in under the wire as a special teamer.

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier, but Holmgren said that there is a chance that Steve Vallos is the opening day center. He said Chris Spencer's back is not even allowing him to tie his shoes right now, and he needs some valuable practice time to get in sync with teammates. Obviously, with less than three weeks left before the start, his time is dwindling.
