The Seahawks are now saying that the pectoral tear that Lofa Tatupu suffered may only be a partial tear instead of a complete tear. For Seahawk fans, that is good news.
Tatupu May Only Have Partial Tear; Could Return in a Few Weeks
Mora said team medical personnel are now examining Tatupu’s relatively healthy pectoral muscle on the right side, including with another magnetic resonance imaging test. They will compare it with images taken on the injured left one to further gauge how much damage the left pectoral sustained.
If Monday’s results from the MRI are proven accurate, the team’s co-captain could be back after a few weeks of rehabilitation — though it appears he will miss at least Seattle’s next game, at Dallas on Nov. 1. The team may have a timetable on his return before it leaves for a bye weekend break following Wednesday’s practice.
The Seahawks are only a game back in the NFC West so if they can get Tatupu back it can only help their playoff chances.
