Tarvaris Jackson back in starter’s role as Seahawks prepare for Cowboys

At least that’s what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday. “He’s definitely in my mind, he’s starting unless he can’t at this point,” Carroll said. “So it’s a different way of looking at it this week than last week.” Jackson, nursing a strained pectoral, was limited in practice last week. Carroll estimated that backup Charlie Whitehurst took about 85 percent of the snaps in preparation for the Bengals game. Whitehurst started despite Jackson being active, but was replaced by Jackson after three possessions. Jackson went on to throw for a career-high 323 yards in a 34-12 Bengals win.
