Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith's availability for Sunday is suddenly up in the air.
Smith appeared on Friday's injury report with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers.
"He just tweaked his groin a little bit (Thursday)," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "Just kind of stumbled over somebody."
Smith did not practice Friday. Asked if he thought Smith would be able to play Sunday, Carroll said, "We'll see."
Drew Lock would start for Seattle if Smith is ruled out.
Smith was already dealing with a triceps injury on his throwing arm, suffered Nov. 19 in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He has yet to miss a start since winning the job in training camp before the 2022 season.
