Geno Smith wonders if he will play Thursday: ‘It’s up to the coach to decide’

Seahawks head coach Pete Carrol said he thinks Geno Smith will be able to play Thursday night against the 49ers.

Smith himself didn’t offer many clues one way or the other during his press conference on Tuesday.

After suffering a bruised lower tricep in his right elbow, Smith said he was feeling better a few days after suffering the injury in Sunday’s loss to the Rams.

“I’ve seen better days, but I’m getting there” Smith said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.

When asked if he was playing, Smith said, “We’ll see how it goes.” It’s up to the coach (Carroll) to decide.

Is the plan always for him to not do much in practice?

“Yeah, it’s up to coach, I’ll just do what I’m told,” Smith said.

Smith was listed as non-participant on Seattle’s first injury report of the week.

We’ll see if Tuesday brings a different designation for the Seahawks QB.

In 10 starts this year, Smith has completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 2,404 yards with 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
