NFL:
Word came yesterday from NFL Insider Tom Pelissero the Seahawks have requested to interview Detroit Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson. Johnson has already been linked to speaking with Washington and Carolina. As he’s still coaching the Lions in this weekend’s divisional round it's likely he won’t be able to meet with Seattle until next week. Pelissero also reported Houston Offensive coordinator Bobbly Slowik is on the Seahawks request list.
Slowik previously coached in San Francisco under Kyle Shanahan.
Shanahan said during yesterday’s press conference many 49ers are getting healthy. Christian McCaffery was listed as a full practice participant, and several defensive players should be at today’s practice. San Francisco welcomes Green Bay on Saturday.
