RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks center Chris Spencer returned to practice Wednesday after spraining his left ankle last week in a pileup that left him worried he might miss more than just a handful of days.

Spencer, who's expected to be a starter for the Seahawks, says he hopes to play in Saturday night's preseason opener against the San Diego Chargers.

Spencer was hurt last Friday when he was caught up in a pile during a blocking drill. He left the field on the back of a cart.

Spencer says it was a scary moment and he feels lucky to return to the field so quickly.
