The Seattle Seahawks seemed to come out of Sunday's Wild Card win over Minnesota mostly injury-free, although punter Jon Ryan may be experiencing some nose discomfort for a while.

A botched first quarter snap during a punt attempt caused Ryan to take off running, which resulted in him getting flipped upside down and landing on his face mask.



"It was a low snap," Seahawks head coach Pete Caroll said after the game. "We didn't execute the snap well, and then Jonny had to do something with it. He's been around long enough that he makes good decisions, but I just wish he would have taken off one way or the other instead of going over the top. He had a lot of field there and he got real aggressive and tried to leap over the top. Check him out; look at his nose. He got his nose busted on the play so he had it messed up a little bit."

When a reporter asked Carroll if Ryan did indeed break his nose, Carroll answered, "I don't know. I think it might be. It looks terrible. It looks like this one (pointing at his own nose)."

Ryan returned to the game and wound up punting five times for an average of 35.4 yards.

Ryan's nose may have been the most significant injury to come out of Sunday's game, including Michael Bennett, who had a scare later in the game when he spent a few minutes on the turf holding his leg. Carroll didn't mention any specifics when asked about injuries after the game but suggested there had been no other major injuries on Sunday.

"Just a couple things. Nothing significant yet," Carroll said.
