Man I hope Okung is ok

That's blows....

Hopefully he's back in the 2nd half. He hasn't really got it going yet this season but when he catches stride he's one of the best in the business.

Our left side is getting ABUSED without him in there... Man.. Were gonna have to game plan at half time if he's not coming back...

Does Okung have any history of left ankle/toe/knee injuries? He went down and I had a hard time picking out how he got hurt.

 

[gohusk]

That was the only place Wilson could have put it and it just wasn't there. But the beast comes to save the day! I think we wore them out.

He does... I think in this case it's with his toe though... Not 100 percent sure ...

Something chronic then? The play he came out of didn't look like much.

Yeah they were speculating toe on the broadcast, which hopefully is the case. I mean obviously you don't want any lower leg injuries when it comes to an O lineman, but toe would probably be easier to deal with than ankle. The Seahawks should be able to beat Jacksonville at home without him next Sunday, if they want to give him some extra rest, but they are going to need him back for roadies at Houston and Indy.

He started off getting ankle injuries and it was a problem for him early on... But he's been solid since that time.. No injuries last year... Dude is just a mauler of a left tackle so definitely needed...

Agreed....

They said it was his big toe not his ankle.

Turf toe? He was limping pretty badly.

Turf toe is painful as hell. Especially when you're packing 300+.

I know, that's why I asked if it was turf toe. I don't follow SEA beat writers much so I was asking if that was the diagnosis.

I don't think there's been an official diagnosis and if there has, I haven't seen it yet. If it's turf toe, that could be an issue all season. It's an injury, from what I can tell, that tends to linger.

Nice post Dude, thanks for the update.

Are all Turf Toe injuries created equal? I think I remember Max Unger going on IR at the beginning of the year a few seasons ago for Turf Toe

Depends,they can linger "Turf toe" many think it is a blister or something but it is the joint of the toe.

I am sure he will be fine plus if he sits the next game just for precaution i bet we will be fine.

Right, it's a sprain. And like all sprains it can vary in severity. a week or two to several months recovery time.
Fingers crossed.
