The Seattle Seahawks have suffered a number of injuries on the offensive line recently, most notably to the tackle position.
Starting right tackle Brandon Shell, who had sat out Weeks 12 and 13 with a high-ankle sprain, was able to play nearly two quarters of football on Sunday before re-injuring his ankle and exiting the game against the Jets.
As if Shell’s injury wasn’t bad enough, his backup Cedric Ogbuehi had already been ruled out of the matchup himself, suffering from a calf injury.
Coach Pete Carroll believes both offensive linemen have a chance to return to the action this week.
“(Shell) came out of the game, it was sore during the game, he said (it was) no worse than it was last week, so that’s a really positive sign for a chance for him to play,” Carroll said during his Monday interview on 710 ESPN Seattle. “We need Cedric to come back too to help us and get back in the rotation. He should be back, too.”
The Seahawks have Tuesday off but return to the VMAC on Wednesday to prepare to face the Washington Football Team in Week 15.
