The Seahawks will have just one practice this afternoon and I'll provide an update later on today.
Seattle Seahawks
Frank Hughes focuses today on Seahawks running back Justin Forsett and the chances of the smallish runner on making the team. Forsett works out regularly during the summer with another back who works low to the ground – Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew.
Here's a feature on tight end John Carlson and his ascension to a starting role by Gregg Bell of the Associated Press.
Bell also writes that Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren has no intentions of going away meekly in his final season as a head coach.
Seahawks secondary coach Jim Mora handed out DVD's to each of his defensive backs with highlights of plays they could have performed better on, according to Scott Johnson of the Everett Herald. The players use the critiques to get better during the offseaon.
San Francisco 49ers
J.T. O'Sullivan finished 7-of-8 for 126 yards and a touchdown in a 37-30 win over Chicago, and appears to have a lock on the quarterback job for the 49ers.

Although they got the win, San Francisco struggled on special teams, Matthew Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reports.
