Left tackle Russell Okung among Seahawks' inactive players

SEATTLE, Wash. - Left tackle Russell Okung will not play in the Seahawks' game against the Oakland Raiders at CenturyLink Field on Sunday afternoon, as he has joined three others starters on the list of inactive players - middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, tight end Zach Miller, and cornerback Byron Maxwell.
Okung did not practice on Friday because of a calf injury and was listed as questionable for the game. Alvin Bailey is the likely replacement for Okung.
Also inactive is Super Bowl XLVIII MVP Malcolm Smith, who started the past two games at weak-side linebacker as K.J. Wright moved into the middle to replace Wagner. Sunday, Wright is back on the weak side, with rookie Brock Coyle making his first regular-season start at middle linebacker.
Also expect to see rookie wide receiver Paul Richardson returning kickoffs again, as wide receiver Bryan Walters was released on Saturday when safety Terrance Parks was activated off the practice squad because backup safety Jeron Johnson is out and All-Pro strong safety Kam Chancellor was listed as questionable because of a groin injury. With Walters out last week because of a concussion, Richardson had a 47-yard kickoff return against the Panthers.
Chancellor is active for Sunday's game, as is Pro Bowl center Max Unger after missing the past three games with a foot injury.

I like the offensive strategy so far - hand the ball off to Lynch. Amazing concept, if only someone would have thought of this earlier in the season.
