James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Browner suffered the injury in a Week 10 game against the Atlanta Falcons. The Seahawks announced he would be inactive against the Minnesota Vikings, but didn't have any further injury updates until he underwent an MRI.

The injury will hurt a secondary entering a four-game stretch featuring the Saints, 49ers, Giants and Cardinals. Each team has big play potential using several wide receivers capable of catching deep passes. Few teams are better prepared to handle an injury at cornerback than Seattle. The Seahawks will transition to Walter Thurmond, who has played very well in a rotational role after starting two games early this season.
Browner dealt with a hamstring injury early in the season and now has this groin pull. Appearing in eight games he has recorded 10 tackles and an interception.
