Seneca Wallace, Charlie Frye to share the practiceload

Seneca Wallace and Charlie Frye will be splitting time at practice, coach Mike Holmgren said during his weekly news conference Wednesday.

"Just see how Seneca's leg responds to practice," coach Mike Holmgren said. "If everything is OK there, then Seneca will probably start the game. If it's not, Charlie will start. But they both have to practice just to see how Seneca feels."

WR Koren Robinson will not practice on Wednesday. Holmgren said the trainer's assessment was Robinson needed one day off from practice this week. The decision was that would be Wednesday he'll miss.

WR Deion Branch was expected back this week, Holmgren said Monday. The coach wasn't so sure on Wednesday. A status report will come from practice. Branch did not practice last week after injuring his heel during the loss to the Giants.

S Deon Grant is expected to practice. He suffered a strained knee ligament in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Packers.

Justin Forsett will get a chance to return kicks. He was signed to the team's 53-man roster on Tuesday.

"Our punt-return game has been just OK," Holmgren said. "It seemed rather natural to try and bring him in, give us a little spark. We'll see. We're asking a lot of the young guy. He's a rookie. We understand that, but it's kind of like, 'Why not? Let's try it.' "
