The Seattle Seahawks were without star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the rest of the defensive line stepped up in a big way to help lead the team to a gritty 17-9 victory.
A big part of that success up front was the performance of veteran Jarran Reed, who recorded three combined tackles and a half sack. However, he exited the game early with an ankle injury that could keep him on the shelf for a while.
“Unfortunately, J. [Jarran] Reed sprained his ankle a little bit,” coach Pete Carroll confirmed after the game.
Sprained ankle recovery times vary significantly. If Reed’s injury is a high-ankle sprain, it could take up to six weeks for him to recover, and would very possibly end his season.
However, a low ankle sprain could have a recovery time as short as a few days, which would have him back in plenty of time to play in Seattle’s Week 13 matchup against the Vikings on Monday night football.
Carroll will address the media on Monday afternoon, and a status update on Reed will likely be available at that time.
