RENTON, Wash. -- Pete Carroll spent most of his time Monday talking about injuries. He never was asked about the Seattle Seahawks taking a three-game lead in their division.Seattles 26-15 win over Philadelphia came with a cost that could leave the Seahawks short-handed going to Tampa Bay on Sunday.Its amazing to see it like that. I made mention of it just a week ago, we had one guy with a turned ankle coming out of the game, Carroll said. To see all these guys on both sides of the ball get nicked, particularly the running backs took a big hit, its just unusual. It was a crazy day yesterday.Seattles offensive and defensive backfields were left thinned due to key injuries in the victory over the Eagles that gave the Seahawks a three-game cushion over Arizona in the NFC West.The most serious injury was a fractured shoulder blade by running back C.J. Prosise. Making his second straight start, Prosise had a 72-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, but was injured just before halftime.Carroll said Prosise will not need surgery, but the team is still a couple of weeks away from gathering a precise timeframe if he will return this season. Prosises injury and a high-ankle sprain by backup Troymaine Pope left Seattle so thin at running back on Sunday that backup quarterback Trevone Boykin had one carry in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks tried to avoid overworking Thomas Rawls in his first game since Week 2.Carroll described Rawls as trashed on Monday after playing 40 offensive snaps and getting 17 total touches: 14 carries and three runs.He threw his body around like he was in a train wreck. Hell be taken care of this week, Carroll said.Rookie running back Alex Collins was a healthy scratch on Sunday, but almost certainly will be active against Tampa Bay. Seattle might also look at signing George Farmer off the practice squad for additional depth.On the other side of the ball, starting safety Earl Thomas and starting cornerback DeShawn Shead both suffered first-degree hamstring strains that will likely require 10 to 14 days to recover. Carroll wouldnt rule out either player for the game against the Buccaneers, but said the typical recovery time is about two weeks.Thats what normal hamstrings are, Carroll said. Those guys are rare guys. Well see what happens. Well see how they adapt.Shead felt his hamstring acting up during Saturdays walkthrough and tried to go on Sunday, but went to the sideline in the first half. Thomas was injured in the third quarter while running downfield in coverage on a ball intercepted by Richard Sherman. Thomas has not missed a game in his professional career and has started 106 consecutive games.The combination of Jeremy Lane and Neiko Thorpe filled in for Shead, while Steven Terrell took over for Thomas.Both did really well. Both were very solid, Carroll said of Thorpe and Terrell. Very assignment sound, technique sound, in the right spots throughout. They did a good job, which is a really good sign for us moving forward in the event we have to have those guys playing.Other injuries for the Seahawks included left tackle George Fant (shoulder), linebacker Brock Coyle (foot sprain), backup wide receiver Tanner McEvoy (toe) and tight end Luke Willson, who appeared to tweak his knee late in the game. Carroll said the expectation is all should be able to play against Tampa Bay.The one positive with injuries was defensive end Michael Bennett, who underwent minor knee surgery earlier this month. Carroll said Bennett is pushing to get back this week against his former team.Were going to see what happens. Hes going to see how far he can take it. Well find out, Carroll said. The trainers and doctors are open for if he can make it back he can play. Well see if hes able to do that. `---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNicolas Otamendi Jersey .

But even as the Indians frolicked on the field in their celebratory hats and T-shirts, Boston fans werent ready to let their beloved Big Papi go.Im glad he didnt get a hit to beat us, manager Terry Francona said after leading the Indians to just the second postseason sweep in franchise history. I thought it was an honor to be on the field, competing against him in his last game, because hes truly one of the best. You could tell the way people were hanging around yelling his name and everything. He deserves every bit of that.Coco Crisp hit a two-run homer , closer Cody Allen got four outs and the Indians advanced the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2007. That year, they took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against Boston before losing three in a row.Cleveland also blew a 2-0 lead against Boston in the best-of-five round in 1999.But this year there would be no fold.Perhaps inspired by the Cavaliers NBA title -- the citys first pro sports championship since 1964 -- the Indians shut down Ortiz and the most prolific offense in the league. Rookie Tyler Naquin delivered a two-run single and Josh Tomlin pitched five strong innings for the Indians, who will open the ALCS at home against Toronto on Friday.Cleveland went 4-3 this year against the wild-card Blue Jays, who swept AL West champion Texas to reach the ALCS for the second straight year.Nobody in this clubhouse doubts what were what capable of, reliever Andrew Miller said as music blared and corks popped in the visitors clubhouse. I think we saw in our games in Cleveland how much support we have. Its a special place to be. I think we have bigger things ahead of us, but its not going to be any easier.To advance, the Indians had to shut down the most prolific offense in the major leagues and weather the emotional farewell to Ortiz . The Red Sox designated hitter went 1 for 9 in the series, collecting a sacrifice fly in Game 3 before walking on four pitches in his final plate appearance .Ortiz was lifted for a pinch runner in the eighth and left to a standing ovation.But that wasnt enough for the crowd of 39,530 -- the largest at Fenway since at least World War II. Chanting Were not leaving! and Thank you, Pa-pi! for more than 10 minutes while the Indians celebrated their victory, the crowd finally drew the beloved slugger back onto the field.Wearing a red warmup and a scowl on his face, Ortiz lumbered out to the mound and tipped his cap in all directions, tapping his heart. Only when the camera zoomed in on him did it become apparent that the frown was not regret over an early postseason exit: Big Papi was crying.Tonight when I walked to the mound, I realized that it was over.dddddddddddd It was pretty much probably the last time as a player to walk in front of a crowd, Ortiz told reporters afterward. And the emotion came back out again.After two minutes, Ortiz retired to the dugout and retired for good, ending to a career that brought three World Series titles to Boston and transformed the once-futile franchise into winners.Im happy, not just for me, not just how my career went down, but for the organization, the step that we took, from going from last place to win the division this year, he told reporters. Even if things didnt end up the way we were looking for ... its like going from bad to good, from day to night.Making it their goal to send their beloved Big Papi out as a winner, the Red Sox managed to win the AL East -- the second time in four seasons they went from worst to first.Boston raised fans hopes with an 11-game winning streak in September but then lost eight of its last nine games, including the playoffs. After winning the first two games in the best-of-five AL Division Series, and then waiting an extra day because of Sundays rainout, the Indians it took a 2-0 lead off Clay Buchholz in the fourth inning on Naquins single.Tomlin gave up Andrew Benintendis Green Monster-scraping RBI double in the fifth, which gave some life to the Fenway crowd.But with one run in, one out, one on and the fans taunting the Indians starter -- Tom-lin! Tom-lin! -- he struck out Sandy Leon on a pitch in the dirt and then Jackie Bradley Jr. grounded out to first. In the sixth, Crisp hit a two-run homer over the left-field wall to make it 4-1.Buchholz allowed two runs and six hits in four innings, joining David Price and Rick Porcello as postseason losers.Tomlin allowed two runs on four in five-plus innings. Miller pitched two innings , Bryan Shaw got two outs and Allen came on to face Ortiz with two out and a man on first in the eighth.After walking on four pitches , Ortiz stood on first and waved his arms at the mostly dormant crowd. The fans rose to cheer for him and stayed there as Hanley Ramirez singled to make it 4-3.Now representing the tying run at second, Ortiz was lifted for pinch-runner Marco Hernandez, leaving the field to a raucous cheer. But even after coming out of the game, his work wasnt done: With one foot on the top step of the dugout, he continued to cheer the team on.Xander Bogaerts hit a hard line drive to second and Ortiz jumped onto the dirt, only to turn around and walk dejectedly back into the dugout when it was caught for the last out.In the ninth, Jackie Bradley Jr. singled with two out and Dustin Pedroia drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch. Travis Shaw worked the count full before popping up to end it.I was cheering so bad, Ortiz said. Once I got out of the game I was screaming at my team to put me back in it. Make me wear this uniform one more day. Because I wasnt ready to be over with the playoff. ' ' '
