Dion Jordan Underwent Knee Surgery After Joining Seahawks, Pete Carroll Says

Dion Jordan's attempt at a comeback will have to wait a little longer.

The Seattle Seahawks defensive end had surgery three to four weeks ago to remove "loose bodies" in his knee, according to Curtis Crabtree of Pro Football Talk.

The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since 2014.

"We were fixing what had happened before," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll explained. "He didn't get hurt here. He came to us needing a clean-up on his knee. He didn't know that at the time. We uncovered it. He's done everything he's supposed to do and done a good job but he hasn't been able to get on the field yet."

Jordan missed the entire 2016 season due to a knee injury and was suspended throughout the 2015 campaign after violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Still, the Seahawks thought highly enough of the young player to sign him in April.

The 2013 No. 3 overall pick began his career with the Miami Dolphins, but the pass-rushing specialist only produced three sacks in the two years he actually played. He has appeared in 26 games, starting one.
