On a sliding scale of horrendous misfortunes, the Seattle Seahawks being down Duane Brown probably doesn’t beat out, say, being hit by a meteor. If Adrian Clayborn plays like he did against Dallas, however, it’s probably going to feel like that level of misfortune for Russell Wilson and company.
Some background: The Seahawks swung a big trade for Duane Brown at the deadline, surrendering a 2018 third rounder and 2019 second rounder in exchange for Brown and a Texans fifth rounder. That’s not a ton to give up for one of the league’s premier left tackles, and Seattle figured to get the kind of player who could actually solidify their constantly struggling line.
