Duane Brown leaves Seahawks vs. Cardinals with injury

In his second game as a member of the Seattle Seahawks, Duane Brown left the game after having his leg rolled up on by a Cardinals defender.

Matt Tobin replaced Brown at left tackle for Seattle, and the team ruled him as questionable to return with an ankle injury.

What does this mean for Seattle? Brown was acquired by the Seahawks in a trade with the Texans just two weeks ago to strengthen an offensive line that gained a bad reputation for its lack of protection. Russell Wilson has still had a good season through nine weeks, as he’s third in the NFL in passing yards entering into Week 10.

In the trade, the Texans received a 2018 third-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick, while the Seahawks received a 2018 fifth-round pick.

Brown was supposed to make things easier on Wilson. Unfortunately, after just six quarters, he’s suffered an injury.

What does this mean for Brown? If it’s not a severe injury, perhaps not much. Brown’s 32 years old but is still one of the best left tackles in football. You never want to see players injured, but those stakes are even higher when it’s an older player.
