Injury updates: Seahawks reportedly ‘fear’ Bruce Irvin has torn ACL
Pass rusher Bruce Irvin is “feared” to have torn his ACL, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Irvin suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Seattle’s 35-30 victory.
The injury to Irvin, 32, looked potentially disastrous on the field, but he tweeted after the game that he was “good” and thanked the 12s – Seahawks fans – for their support. While that may have caused some hope for the night, it turns out it may have been premature.
On Monday morning’s Pete Carroll Show on 710 ESPN Seattle (listen here), the Seahawks head coach was asked about Irvin in a way that presumed he only had a sprain or another injury of a less-serious nature. Carroll’s answer was foreboding, however.
“I don’t know yet, but he was hurt for sure,” Carroll said. “He got banged pretty good and all that so we’ll have to wait and see.”
