Monday night against the Chicago Bears despite his pending jail sentence.Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that Kendricks would make his Seattle debut due to major injuries at linebacker. The Seahawks ruled out both of its starting linebackers http://www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com/cheap-trevon-coley-jers
ey , K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner, due to injuries. Wright is still a week away from returning from minor knee surgery and Wagner suffered a groin injury in Week 1."The background that he has and the instincts that he has and he's been coached really well over the years, he really has a chance to pick it up really quickly and get in there and help us," Carroll said. "He had three really good days and studied like crazy with the coaches and he's ready to help us out."Kendricks playing creates an odd situation for all involved considering his guilty plea last week on insider trading charges in Philadelphia. He's not expected to be sentenced in the case until January and the NFL has yet to impose any discipline meaning he's eligible to play. Kendricks said Saturday he was unsure if he'd have a chance to play this season after being released by the Browns on Aug. 29."It's been pretty hard. It's been very hard. But, I'll overcome this, and I'll overcome just like I've overcome other obstacles in my life," Kendricks said. "Like I said, I'm very blessed to have this opportunity, so I treated it as such. But, football is helping me a lot."Carroll said the Seahawks did extensive homework on Kendricks and there was continued contact with the league office about the potential of the roster move. Carroll said Kendricks deserves a second chance."We have come to learn who he is and what he's all about and how remorseful he was and how he admitted to his mistake a long time ago," Carroll said.How long Kendricks is with the Seahawks will be a lingering question. The league could impose discipline at any time. Seattle also expects to have Wright and Wagner potentially back as early as Week 3 against Dallas."Other teams were interested, but as far as I'm concerned, the Seahawks were the ones that were most interested and that's why I'm here," Kendricks said.Kendricks signed a one-year contract with the Browns in June after winning a Super Bowl title last season with the Philadelphia Eagles Youth Denzel Ward Jersey , and he was released by Cleveland after the charges were filed.Federal prosecutors said Kendricks used tips from an acquaintance to make about $1.2 million in illegal profits on four major trading deals.Prosecutors say his co-defendant, Damilare Sonoiki, was paid $10,000 in kickbacks in the scheme from 2014-2015, as well as receiving perks such as tickets to Eagles games and tagging along to a music video shoot or nightclub appearances.Kendricks did not comment about his legal situation on Saturday."As of right now, I have the opportunity and I want to make the most of that," he said.NOTES: Seattle released veteran DT Tom Johnson and signed S Shalom Luani from the practice squad. Johnson was one of Seattle's significant offseason signings to bolster the defensive line, but Carroll said the move was needed for depth in the secondary. Carroll said there was hope of potentially bringing Johnson back later in the season if he doesn't sign somewhere else. ... Seattle listed CB Tre Flowers (hamstring) and G D.J. Fluker (hamstring) as doubtful for Monday's game. Flowers, a rookie, started the opener after Dontae Johnson was placed on injured reserve last week. Joe Haden knows about losing to the Baltimore Ravens.The Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback has been on the losing end of 11 of his 14 games against Baltimore. Ten of those 11 came when he was with the Cleveland Browns. He's only lost to the Ravens once with the Steelers, 26-14 in Week 4 of this season.That one felt different. So will the game Sunday, where the Steelers secondary will look to take another step in a third straight game against an AFC North rival."I think being here and (in Cleveland), (the Steelers are) at the top of the division most of the time, seeing who can win it and fighting for the division winner http://www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com/cheap-joe-schobert-jers
ey ," Haden said."So I think that's just a little different toward the end of the season, knowing these games (against Baltimore) could be big when we get to the end, determining who can get to the playoffs."The secondary could obviously be better than it was in the previous matchup, Haden said. Defensive coordinator Keith Butler agreed.Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns against a Steelers secondary that allowed an average of 305 passing yards through its first four games."We have to make sure, as much as we can, that we keep the ball in front of us," Butler said. "We can't give up easy touchdowns. Teams go up, we have to make them go up by (field goals) and not let them go up by seven, if we can."Ravens wide receiver John Brown had 116 yards and one touchdown on just three receptions in the first matchup against Pittsburgh. Haden knows that can't happen again."He's a small dude, obviously. He's small, really fast," Haden said. "You have to make sure you keep him in front of you. He can really beat you. ... He had those two deep balls on us, so we have to contain that."If Pittsburgh's past three games are any indication, the defensive backs might have a better chance against Brown this time.Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones was held without a catch until the fourth quarter of a 41-17 loss to the Steelers in Week 5 Youth Baker Mayfield Jersey , when he had a season-low 62 yards. The following week, A.J. Green caught seven of his 12 targets for 85 yards in a 28-21 Cincinnati Bengals loss to Pittsburgh.Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry had 39 yards on eight receptions in the Steelers' 33-18 win last Sunday.Haden matched up against each of those three. He wouldn't say who would be responsible for Brown from Pittsburgh's secondary, which is expected to have cornerback Artie Burns in the mix after using him exclusively on special teams against Cleveland.Burns was disciplined after arriving late to a team walkthrough Saturday.Cornerback Mike Hilton, whom Haden called one of the Steelers' best players, said no matter who is called upon, limiting Brown is a must for Pittsburgh.After missing the first matchup with an elbow injury, Hilton also said he has a plan for Sunday."There were certain things I did see," Hilton said. "I feel like I'll be able to, I'm not going to say make every play, but help control the outcome of that play. So personally, I feel like from what I saw from the last game and what I've seen up until now, I have a solid idea what to expect."NOTES: QB Ben Roethlisberger (left finger), LB Bud Dupree (illness) and C Maurkice Pouncey (did not practice Wednesday/coaches' decision) were full participants Thursday. ... CB Coty Sensabaugh (toe) and OL Marcus Gilbert (knee) were limited. ... OL Ramon Foster (coaches' decision) did not practice. Custom New York Giants Jerseys
