Gordon joined the Seahawks via waivers after he was released from the New England Patriots off injured reserve following a short stint with the NFL Super Bowl champions.
A Super Bowl winner and Pro Bowler, Gordon – who was placed on the IR with a knee injury on October 23 – caught 20 passes for 287 yards and one touchdown in six games before leaving the Patriots.
The Seahawks (7-2) face the unbeaten 49ers (8-0) at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco on Monday and wide receiver Gordon could make his Seattle bow.
“You’ve got to wait and see,” a smiling Carroll told reporters on Saturday. “Wait and see. There’s a good chance.”
On Gordon’s first week of practice with the Seahawks, Carroll said: “He did really well. He was very impressive in terms of picking stuff up, studying overtime.
“He fit in really well. He’s a really good athlete. You can really tell that he’s got a lot of potential to be a big-time player, so it was fun to see him on the practice field. He did a nice job.”
After being released by the Patriots last week, Gordon said: “I feel great.”
“I’m grateful to be here,” he continued. “There’s a lot of gratitude. Definitely thankful to land in a spot like this. It could have been anywhere. I couldn’t control that [when he was waived]. But nonetheless, I’m grateful to have this opportunity to just go out there and do what I do.”
