RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seattle coach Pete Carroll gave wide receiver Deion Branch a “personal day” as the Seahawks returned from their bye week, amid speculation that Branch could be on his way out of Seattle.
Carroll says after Monday’s practice that he expects Branch’s reason for being away from the team is personal. He said the expectation is that Branch will be with the team Wednesday when the Seahawks begin game planning for Sunday’s game against Chicago.
But Branch’s absence seems all too coincidental with reports that surfaced last week of talks between Seattle and Branch’s former team, New England. Branch was in Louisville, Ky., over the weekend where his number was retired at the University of Louisville.
