The Seattle Seahawks have sorely missed left tackle Duane Brown, who has been inactive for the last two matchups with a knee injury.
“His knee was really irritated in general, it was kind of a pissed off knee,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday. “He needs to come back from that. We’re trying to get it quieted down and all that and see if he can get back out. Structurally, he’s in good shape We just got to make sure that his knee is quieted down and he doesn’t have swelling and that kind of stuff and he can get moving again. I don’t know if that will happen this week or not.”
Brown recently underwent minor knee surgery to try to correct the problem. While the procedure was a success, Carroll said he won’t know how far along Brown is until at least Wednesday or Thursday.
“He did some things this weekend to try to help him along the process,” Carroll noted. “By the end of the week, he has it in his mind maybe there’s a chance he can make it back.
“That would be a miraculous recovery.”
With or without Brown, the Seahawks are slated to take on the Eagles this Sunday in Philadelphia at 1:40 p.m. PT.
