Nov. 7--RENTON -- Jim Mora concluded his team's preparation with a healthy discussion after practice Friday.

Surprisingly healthy, in fact.

"We had every Seattle Seahawk practice," coach Jim Mora said, "and it's probably been over a year since that has happened.

"It's kind of a milestone day."

Cue the trumpets and confetti. The roll call included tackle Sean Locklear, who participated in a full practice for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in the second game of the season. The only men missing from practice were the three players on injured reserve: Walter Jones, Lofa Tatupu and Brandon Frye.

Locklear was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but practiced without limitation Friday and is listed as probable, which according to NFL injury-report criteria means there's a virtual certainty he will be available for normal duty.

Will he start?

"He could," Mora said, "but we haven't made that decision yet. We like what Damion McIntosh has done. It has been a long time since Sean has played.

"It's nice to have him available, though."

Wide receiver Ben Obomanu is the only Seahawk whose status is considered to be in doubt. He is one of Seattle's core special-teams players, but suffered an oblique injury in last week's game that kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. He participated in the full practice Friday, but is listed as questionable, which translates to a 50-50 chance he will play.

Can't hush Housh

T.J. Houshmandzadeh heard from several former Bengals teammates and others who knew him in Cincinnati after television cameras captured him shouting on Seattle's sideline in the third quarter of last week's loss in Dallas.

Were they shocked that Houshmandzadeh spoke out? Nope. The only thing unexpected was it hadn't happened sooner.

"I've done that my whole career," Houshmandzadeh said Friday. "Guys from Cincinnati texted me and said they're surprised it took to Game 7 for me to do it."

Houshmandzadeh said he was surprised his actions got so much attention locally, and the critique of his behavior was enough to prompt him to seek out Matt Hasselbeck to make sure the quarterback didn't think he was the target of any anger.

"I had to go talk to Matt just to make sure," Houshmandzadeh said. "If I've got a problem with you, I'm going to tell you. That's just how I am. I don't send subliminal messages.

"If I've got a problem with Matt, I'm going to tell Matt, and that's just it. And I didn't have a problem with Matt."

How did the quarterback feel about that?

"From what he told me, it didn't affect him," Houshmandzadeh said. "It didn't bother him. But I guess other people felt otherwise."

Note

--Detroit WR Calvin Johnson, who missed the past two games with a knee injury, is listed as questionable, but Lions coach Jim Schwartz indicated he's optimistic Johnson will play. Same for Lions RB Kevin Smith (shoulder).
