Geno Smith (groin) to return to practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith (groin) is expected to practice on Thursday, according to head coach Pete Carroll, after missing Week 14.

Fantasy Impact: Smith’s Week 14 absence opened the path for QB Drew Lock to get his first start of the season, who played solid considering the circumstances. However, with an extended time for rest given their Monday night game slot, Smith is expected to return to the practice field. Even if he is just limited throughout the week, he could be in line to return to action as Seattle aims to keep its head above water amid a postseason-threatening midseason slip.
