Seattle's Bobby Wagner thriving as NFL leader in tackles
[...] when the NFL Network revealed its list of top 100 players in the league earlier this year, and Seattle Seahawks' Bobby Wagner wasn't listed, it was a surprising omission.
Seattle's standout middle linebacker leads the NFL with 108 tackles, including 15 last week in the Seahawks' win over Philadelphia.
Wagner didn't feel slighted two years ago when he was selected as a first-team All-Pro despite missing five games with a painful toe injury.
Along with changing his eating, Wagner increased the amount of boxing, yoga and swimming in his exercise routine, activities he's trying to continue during the regular season.
Wagner is quick to acknowledge the play of Seattle's defensive tackles as a big reason why he's been able to record so many stops.
Seattle will likely be down two starters in its secondary with FS Earl Thomas and CB DeShawn Shead both unlikely to play because of hamstring injuries.
Seattle signed RB George Farmer off the practice squad on Wednesday for additional depth in the backfield.
