Seahawks don't know when they'll get LT Okung back

[jady]

Seattle Seahawks rookie left tackle Russell Okung is already out for the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. He might not be ready for Week 2, either.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Okung's status is still unknown as he tries to return from a high ankle sprain suffered in Seattle's second preseason game.NFL jerseys

Okung was hurt on Aug. 21 against Green Bay on the first play of the game when he got tangled with guard Ben Hamilton. He's been a spectator at Seahawks practices ever since.

"We're going to try and do more with him next week. We'll try to run him next week," Carroll said. "He's done a great job in rehab and he is real anxious about it, as you can imagine. We'll see where he is next week."

Okung was taken with the sixth overall pick in the April draft and instantly inserted to take over at left tackle for the retired Walter Jones. Okung was then late reporting to camp as contract negotiations on his six-year, $58 million deal dragged through the first week of training camp. Okung managed just three plays in his second preseason game.

"It'll be a day-to-day process until we know more. ... With that kind of injury, until you really have to push off with it and load it up do you know how a guy's responding," Carroll said. "We might not even be able to know that next week, so we'll see how it goes."wholesale nfl jerseys

Filling Okung's spot has become a complicated process. Seattle used converted guard Mansfield Wrotto for its final two preseason games, only to cut Wrotto last weekend as the roster was trimmed. The Seahawks also traded a conditional draft pick to Detroit to get Tyler Polumbus, who played for offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates in Denver and finally got Chester Pitts back into practice as he continued recovering from microfracture knee surgery.

Bates said on Thursday that Polumbus was likely to start on Sunday against San Francisco, but a day later Carroll said it would be a game-time decision between Pitts and Polumbus.

"(Pitts) practiced enough to be ready to play in this game. Tyler did a really good job also so we're in really good shape there," Carroll said. "It's important that we do this right with Chester and we bring him back when he's healthy and ready to go for the long haul."

Wrong part of the MB...

But i swear i thought when i saw this on the list of areas on the board it said sehawks dont know when... I thought it'd say seahawks dont know when to shut up

I honestly think the Seahawks will be the worst team in the league this year. They just don't have a clue. They traded and paid good money for Charlie Whithurst and have given up on him. They've signed some other players that they ended up cutting weeks later.

I can't honestly say there is a player on their team that I think is above average other than maybe Aaron Curry

I like Earl Thomas, Justin Forsett and Leon Washington, John Carlson, Trufant, and think Lofu is a decent LB.

They have big voids in talent at DB, DL, OL, WR though.

Seahawks have some great young talent....Earl Thomas, Golden Tate, Russell Okung, Justin Forsett, Aaron Curry, John Carlson...A lot of potential. Seattle has a bright future.

TATF! What is wrong with people today. Between the non stop threads about how jacked up the message board is, and random crap like this, crap is getting out of hand real fast. Where are the mods when you need them? We need these boards cleaned out in a bad way.
