The Seattle Seahawks’ selection of Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks is starting to make more and more sense. On Monday, Seahawks general manager John Schneider confirmed veteran linebacker K. J. Wright had undergone shoulder surgery during the offseason and his return for the start of the year is uncertain.
“He’s rehabbing from his surgery,” Schneider told 950 KJR’s Softy and Dick show. “I’m not sure of the timeline of when he’s going to be back. Hopefully he makes it back on time and we’ll see how it goes. It’s a weird offseason for everybody but especially for guys that have had offseason surgery.
“Hopefully his name’s up there on the wall someday, right? He’s an amazing person, an amazing player. That’s why we did our deal with him last year.”
Schneider didn’t provide details about Wright’s procedure or when and if he’d be available should the season start on time this year.
Hopefully, an update on Wright’s status will emerge in the near future.
