RENTON, Wash. - With an important matchup against the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals approaching on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks are set to get a boost defensively with the return of middle linebacker Bobby Wagner to the lineup.Wagner missed the last five games after tearing the tendon that attaches his big toe to the bottom of his foot. He was initially told to expect to miss eight weeks with the injury. However, Wagners recovery has been substantially ahead of schedule and he will play Sunday against the Cardinals.Bobby is going to play. Were really excited to have him back, coach Pete Carroll said.Wagner had to have his foot in a cast for two weeks with his toe curled to allow the tendon to heal naturally. Then an additional three weeks were required for rehab before he was able to return to the practice field this week.I feel good. Im very excited to play. Ive had a great week of practice and Im just looking forward to getting back out there and competing with the guys, he said.Wagner compiled 50 tackles in just five games before suffering the injury in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys.Newly signed centre Lemuel Jeanpierre is up to speed and also ready to play this week. Jeanpierre was re-signed Tuesday after starter Max Unger suffered a high-ankle sprain last week against the Kansas City Chiefs.He came back really sharp, Carroll said. (It was) surprising that he was able to retain so much but he was on it. Hes very confident and demonstrated that, so hes ready to go.Carroll wouldnt comment on whether Jeanpierre or Patrick Lewis would get the start Sunday against the Cardinals, but said both are ready to go if needed.Running back Marshawn Lynch returned to practice Friday after getting two days off to rest his ailing back. Carroll said Lynch should be ready to go and is listed as probable on the injury report.Hes made it through, Carroll said. Were adjusting the days (of practice) as we need to to accommodate and he got through it fine and he looks like hes ready.Carroll also took the opportunity to speak regarding questions that Lynch may not be back with the Seahawks next season.We want him around here for as long as he can play and theres never been any hesitation, Carroll said. Theres never been any thought of that. That came totally from somewhere else. Hes under contract next year. Well be thrilled to have him playing for us next year. So well do everything we can to get that done.The Seahawks officially ruled out Unger, linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis (shoulder) and cornerback Marcus Burley (hamstring). Defensive end Demarcus Dobbs is doubtful with a knee injury and guard James Carpenter will be a game-time decision after being held out of practice on Friday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Ed Oliver Youth Jersey .

The Reds want players to keep their beards and their locks in check. First-year manager Bryan Price wants players hair and beards to be neatly kept this season, in line with the teams policy on appearances. A few of the Reds have long hair and beards. Starter Johnny Cuetos hair still covers his name on the back of his jersey. Price is fine with it. "Our initial policy was facial hair was fine, but just keep it under control," Price said on Saturday. The Boston Red Sox made long, scraggly beards their identity last season on their way to a World Series championship. Boston players shaved them off after the season, with several players donating the hair for charity fundraisers. The Reds were known for their strict hair and appearance policies in the 1970s and 1980s. They insisted that players stay clean-shaven and show their red stirrups in uniform. When reliever Jim Kern wanted a trade during the 1982 season, he grew a beard in violation of tthe teams policy and was sent to the White Sox.dddddddddddd The policy even applied to the media guide. When the Reds got infielder Wayne Krenchicki, they only photo available showed him with a moustache. The team covered up the moustache in the media guide photo. Price has no desire to go back to those days. "I dont think youre going to be terribly successful sitting there trying to turn the clock back on the clubhouse too far," Price said. He plans to meet with some of the teams leaders when the position players report for their first workout on Monday and get their thoughts about some proposed rules. All teams have policies on whats expected of players. "I dont think theres anybody in there thats looking to turn this place into Fantasy Island and go crazy in there," Price said. "I think everyone likes to understand what the rules are and where the lines are drawn. But I think its something worth discussing with the players instead of mandating them unilaterally." ' ' '
