The Seattle Seahawks have entered their bye week, but there's no guarantee they'll have QB Tarvaris Jackson on the other side of it.
Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson didn't make it through Week 5 after injuring a chest muscle.

He was injured in Sunday's upset of the Giants, sustaining what coach Pete Carroll struggled to describe as a "high-grade strain" of his right pectoral (chest) muscle.
"Well, you know what that is, it's that it's higher than low-grade," said Carroll. "Since I've never said that there's a high-grade strain before, I've certainly never said that there's a low-grade strain, so I have no point of reference to help you at all at this point."
Carroll said Jackson had an MRI Monday and felt better though he wasn't going to be throwing anytime soon. The coach didn't rule out surgery, which would probably end Jackson's season, but says the current plan is stick with physical rehab. Carroll seemed to kid that he was upset at Jackson for getting injured on a play when he ran the ball.
Unless Jackson has to go on IR, the team will stick with Charlie Whitehurst, who played well in relief Sunday, as the starter and rookie Josh Portis (Clinton's cousin) as the backup.
And what if Whitehurst, who many Seattle fans have been clamoring for, stakes a strong claim to the job?
"There's some talk about if that makes a controversy. Well, is it controversial that you have two quarterbacks that can play?" asked Carroll. "I think it's great that we do. Fortunately we're in that situation where if Tarvaris can't go, then Charlie will play. But we're going to hold off and Tarvaris will have a chance to get back, we'll just have to see how the rehab goes."
Carroll went on to add: "There's no controversy in this building. You guys can have all the one you want. I think it's controversial to have two really good quarterbacks."
