Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks headed for knee surgery

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks is slated to undergo knee surgery in the next couple of days to repair his torn ACL.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was able to provide a number of player injury updates during his final press conference of the season on Monday. Carroll said linebacker Jordyn Brooks, who suffered a torn ACL in Seattle’s win over the Jets, will undergo surgery in the next couple of days.

While Brooks’ prognosis won’t be evident until after the operation, Carroll is hopeful he won’t miss time to start next year.

“We’re going to count on him being ready to go, but I’m saying that in all optimism because they haven’t gone in and taken a look at what it looks like yet,” Carroll cautioned. “It’s a long recovery, it’s late in the year, it’s a hard race against time for him to make it, but he’s such a well-conditioned guy and he’s such a good worker and his mentality is so strong, I think he’ll get as much out of it as you can.”

Brooks truly emerged as a leader this season – his third in the NFL – and his injury was a huge blow to Seattle’s defense.

“He’s a really big factor – he needed the time, as we changed principles and stuff that he did, he needed the time to really grow with it,” Carroll said. “He was making a bunch of tackles, but he’ll be better, he’ll be much improved. Jordyn, really, he’s a centerpiece, he’s such a good player, and we’ll continue to lean on him that way.

“So, fingers crossed that he’ll make it back and be ready to go for the season.”

Pete Carroll clears up concerns about Seahawks WR DK Metcalf’s surgery

During his press conference at the NFL scouting combine, Pete Carroll cleared up concerns about Seattle Seahawks DK Metcalf’s foot surgery.

Offseason rumors started to swirl earlier this year regarding the news that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf recently underwent surgery.

In February, Metcalf revealed he was in a walking boot after having played through foot pain throughout last season. Sources later confirmed he had undergone a minor procedure to remove a screw from his foot.

Coach Pete Carroll clarified the situation during his Wednesday press conference in Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine.

“They fixed a surgery that he had on his foot a couple of years back,” Carroll told reporters. “They just had to go in there and adjust some stuff in his foot. It bothered him all year long. We were not able to practice him. He practiced one day a week and a couple walkthroughs, and we always had to be guarded just to maintain his progress, which is not what was best for him.”

“He needed to be working,” Carroll continued. “He needed to be out there. It would have helped us and helped himself too. He knew it, we all knew it, there’s just nothing we can do about it. He did everything he could and he did admirably, remarkably well, but you can only get so much done.

“He’s still a young player. He’s still a developing player, and he’ll get better.”

“I expect him to make a full recovery.”

In his rookie campaign, Brown started three of five games played for Seattle, logging nine tackles and a pass defensed.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson and CB Tre Brown headed for surgery

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed on Monday that both running back Chris Carson and rookie cornerback Tre Brown are headed for surgeries.

Coach Pete Carroll addressed the media on Monday afternoon and confirmed that both cornerback Tre Brown and running back Chris Carson will be undergoing surgery.

Brown left Sunday’s contest early with a knee injury diagnosed as a patellar tendon issue.

“No updates other than he is getting all of the opinions so he can get back and be ready to roll, the sooner the better to get him operated on,” Carroll told reporters. ” . . . It looks like surgery is imminent, so yeah, he would be (done for the year).”

As for Carson, his neck surgery might be scheduled a little later in the future.

“No, it’s going to be a little bit before he does it,” Carroll said. “From what I understand, he has a disc issue that needs to be fused, so that’s a surgery that can get him back somewhere late in the spring from what I have heard. We will see what happens with that.”

Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney to undergo core surgery

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is set to undergo core surgery to repair a sports hernia in the near future.

Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney proved to be an impactful addition to the roster this season, even playing through the pain of a core (sports hernia) injury in Seattle’s push for a playoff run.

After the initial diagnosis, Clowney had decided to wait until the end of the year before undergoing surgery to correct the problem. Now that Seattle’s season is over, Clowney is planning to do just that.

“Yes, he’s had surgery on the other side, and he said he wishes he had done it on both sides,” coach Pete Carroll said during his Monday press conference. “He’s got to get it done in the next few days or whatever. Next week, or something like that. It’s for a core injury.”

Clowney, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent, has expressed interest in re-signing with the Seahawks. His procedure, thankfully, shouldn’t keep him out of the action for long.

“It’s short,” Carroll explained. “Guys can make that back in six, seven weeks. Five, six weeks. It shouldn’t be a lasting recovery at all.”

Seattle has some decisions to make regarding free agents before the start of the new league year and a healthy Clowney could make a new deal all the more likely for the Seahawks.
