The Seattle Seahawks were fortunate in the injury department Sunday in Detroit, with only one player leaving the matchup unable to return – linebacker Darryl Johnson.
“Yeah, he hurt his foot and he has an injury that is going to take a while,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters during his Monday press conference. “I don’t know specifically. I do think it’s a stress fracture kind of thing that he is dealing with. That’s somewhat of a significant injury.”
The Seahawks claimed Johnson off waivers last month with Shelby Harris out and he earned himself a starting nod against the Lions.
“Unfortunately, I was really fired up about him in part of our plans,” Carroll continued. “He’s big, strong, versatile, active, smart. You know really one of our guys, so I’m really disappointed that he got banged up.
“He was the one guy that really got hurt in this game.”
Carroll is hopeful Johnson will be able to return at some point this season.
