Okung Leaves Game With Chest Injury

Sunday, Dec. 14

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Russell Okung has already dealt with his fair share of injuries in 2014. On Sunday, his health once again became cause for concern after he left Seattle's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a chest injury.     

The team announced his return is considered doubtful:

After the win, John Boyle of the Everett Herald provided an update:

Okung missed time with a calf injury and sprained his shoulder back in October, though that didn't cause him to miss any games. It was first feared he had a torn labrum.

As the Seahawks attempt to lock down a playoff spot, they'll need a healthy Okung on the field.
