A few nuggets at halftime of the Seahwawks-Bears divisional game at Soldier Field.

It’s the morning after … nine games were on the NFL preseason slate on Saturday night, so let’s take a bullet-point look on thoughts and observations from around the league.

Seahawks fans should temper their expectations for an immediate turnaround under Pete Carroll. Carroll’s arrival has been widely hailed in Seattle, but until his soon-to-be-appointed general manager overhauls the team’s roster, he is another college coach destined to fail.

Bills QB Trent Edwards, Seahawks LB Lofa Tatupu and Eagles LT Jason Peters were among the players who suffered injuries in Week 6.

The Thursday injury report has been released and includes some notable players — Bengals RB Cedric Benson, Texans DE Mario Williams and Cowboys WR Roy Williams among them — sitting out for the second day in a row.

While Seahawks coach Jim Mora says Matt Hasselbeck is making progress from a broken rib, the quarterback is still suffering effects from the Week 2 hit that forced him to miss last week’s game against Chicago.

The official Thursday injury reports have been filed around the league, and here are some of the key injuries we’re following heading into Week 3 games.

As expected, Seahawks LB Leroy Hill will miss Sunday’s NFC West showdown with the 49ers because of a groin injury suffered in Week 1.

Seahawks three-time Pro Bowl LB Lofa Tatupu sat out his second practice in three days on Tuesday morning.

Seahawks DE Patrick Kerney will Miss Sunday’s game vs. the Eagles and is scheduled to have a second look at his surgically repaired shoulder. Meanwhile, LB Lofa Tatupu (groin) is listed as questionable after not practicing all week.

Seahawks Pro Bowl LB Lofa Tatupu left the game against the 49ers during the first half with a groin injury and will not return.
