The last thing you want to see is a serious injury in a preseason game. The Seattle Seahawks have suffered what appears to be a bad one in tonight’s contest with the Chicago Bears.
Left guard Damien Lewis was just carted off at Lumen Field after going down with what appears to be a major leg injury. While there are no specifics yet he was spotted wearing an air cast, which is never a good sign.

If Lewis misses significant time, the obvious replacement is switch-hitting backup guard Phil Haynes, who was the team’s highest-graded player by PFF in last week’s loss to the Steelers.
Haynes has indeed come in to replace Lewis at left guard and the Bears lead 10-0 early in the second quarter.
Update:
Another bad sign, here. The team has already ruled out Lewis for the remainder of the game with what they’re calling an ankle injury.
Damien Lewis has an ankle injury and has been ruled out. #Seahawks
