Bennett (heel) was a full practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a Week 5 bye, Bennett stayed off his plantar fascia injury at Wednesday's session, only to go through every practice rep Thursday. Head coach Pete Carroll called Bennett "a little sore" following the conclusion of drills, but the defensive end "looks like he's ready to go" Sunday against the Giants. Barring a setback, Bennett will look to build upon his 15 tackles and four sacks through five games on the campaign.

Bennett sustained a plantar fascia injury during Sunday's victory over the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett briefly exited Sunday's game in the second quarter but later returned and ultimately played the entire second half. Head coach Pete Carroll his defensive end was simply "sore" Monday, so it doesn't sound as if Bennett is looking at any sort of absence. Supporting that notion is the fact the Seahawks have a bye in Week 6, which affords Bennett extra time to return to form.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett (undisclosed) was absent from Wednesday's injury report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bennett wasn't expected to miss time anyways, but it's good to see him and Cliff Avril (abdomen) both absent from the injury report. This puts serious pressure on the Packers from both sides of the line, which could be even more of a threat if left tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle) has to sit out.

Bennett will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders and will receive treatment on an undisclosed injury, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Pete Carroll said he isn't concerned about the injuries of any of his players missing Thursday's game to undergo the procedure, so Bennett is likely just getting some last minute pain treatment in order to ensure he is healthy for the start of the regular season.
