Lucas home following father's death; will play

AP | Posted 05.25.2011

Read More: Seattle-Washington, Renton-Washington, Home News

RENTON, Wash. — Seahawks defensive back Ken Lucas is home in Mississippi to bury his father but will play on Sunday against Arizona.

"He will absolutely play. But, (we're) respecting the fact that he lost someone significant in his life, his father. And there's more important things in life than a football game," Seattle coach Jim Mora said Wednesday.

Lucas will miss all the team's main practices and preparation for the Cardinals' high-powered passing offense to remain home through Friday's burial. The ninth-year veteran decided to stay in Seattle and start last weekend's win over Jacksonville less than 48 hours after he found out his father, Clyde, had died unexpectedly.

Mora, the son of a former NFL head coach by the same name and a former walk-on linebacker at the University of Washington, said he can't imagine playing in such a situation. He lauded Lucas for how he got through an extremely difficult weekend.

"Kenny poured his heart out Sunday, stayed and played – played well. It was emotional. It was tough on him," Mora said. "He needs some time to grieve and be with his family. He's going to have to bury his father on Friday, that's going to be tough. But he'll come back and he'll be a pro about it."
