Seahawks OT Rees Odhiambo Released from Hospital, Diagnosed with Bruised Sternum

The Seattle Seahawks handled the Indianapolis Colts 46-18 during Sunday night's game at CenturyLink Field, but offensive tackle Rees Odihambo was hospitalized following the game.

On Monday, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he was released and diagnosed with a bruised sternum, according to Gregg Bell of the News Tribune. “He’s fine and all, but we will see what that means,” said Carroll. “I’m not sure what that means for the week. It is nothing beyond that.”

Adam Schefter of ESPN had reported on Sunday the diagnosis on Odihambo was a bruised heart, and Caroll denied the report.

Odhiambo was hit in the chest on the play which saw Colts safety Malik Hooker intercept Russell Wilson after the ball bounced off Jimmy Graham's hands.

If Odhiambo is forced to miss any time, the Seahawks will likely turn toward Matt Tobin. They acquired him and a 2018 seventh-round pick during the offseason from the Philadelphia Eagles for a fifth-round pick. He is versatile enough to play tackle and guard and at least provides depth given Odhiambo's status.

On the field, Seattle cruised to victory Sunday even though the game was tied late in the third quarter. J.D. McKissic's touchdown run gave it the lead for good, and Bobby Wagner returned a fumble for a score on the next play from scrimmage to essentially clinch the win before Wilson put the finishing touches on with 295 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
