Stevens Re-injurs Knee

Jerramy Stevens banged his knee into the ground at practice today and had to be carted off. He has been taken to get an MRI and results should be available this afternoon. This is big news as the Seahawks would be extremely thin at tight end if Stevens were to miss significant time.

I would think Mike Gomez would be the direction the Seahawks would go in if Stevens is going to miss considerable time, depending on how serious his injury is. It did not seem like it was anything major, just that he was not going to win the third TE spot.

Zeron Flemister is probably the best veteran free agent tight end out there, which is not saying much. New England's Daniel Graham or one of the Green Bay tight ends (Bubba Franks, Donald Lee, David Martin) might be available for trade.

Update: Stevens has a torn meniscus in his surgically repaired knee. He will have surgery at 2 p.m. Friday at the Seattle Surgery Center to repair the injury and will be out at least six weeks. That puts him back just before the Week Four matchup in Chicago. He will most likely miss that game and we will see him back on the field on October 15 (Week Six) against St. Louis following the Seahawks' bye week, assuming he does not run into any complications.
